Hoogeveen (The Translation) Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Hoogeveen (The translation)

Hoogeveen, Lageveen
where do you need to go?
They used to be farms
now only the names remain

Hoogeveen is a town in Drenthe
Lageveen named a petrol pump
to that no longer existing farm

Hoogeveen, Lageveen
where do you have to go?
Well, to both
fill up with petrol first
then to a good friend in Hoogeveen

Bye, I'm going there now
