All who want to hear a new song
Of what happened in the Beguinage in Ghent
Of Dorothea a beautiful virgin
Who greatly pleased God's friend, who greatly pleased God's friend
It happened' on a big holiday
That all those young nuns had to go out for bread
And Dorothea she didn't know where to go
She went straight to the noble mistress
Ooh Dorothea
/>She hurriedly knocked on the door
That noble mistress, she came for it herself
I know no one else but God and you
come in my friend and eat with me, come in my friend and eat with me
but when the meal was over, Dorothea rose up quickly, and gave thanks to the lord with a very great feast, and then Dorothea gave up her joyful spirit, and then Dorothea gave up her joyful spirit.
Ooh Dorothea
The bells are ringing small and large
And no one knew anything about Dorothea's death
They walked from afar to and from
To see God's miracle indeed , to see God's miracle indeed...
Ooh Dorothea
