	A song about the beauty of the West. It says: 'I will never forget the West. Even if I'll travel around the whole world.' For many and many years we used to sing this song on the islands of the Dutch West Indies.

	Story Behind the Song For centuries many people in the Netherlands Antilles has sang this song. It took me a while to do some reseach till I've found it. We adapted it and gave it a modern jacket. Lyrics Schoon is de West Schoon is de West, is 't land mijner dromen Heerlijk omstuwd door de heldere zee Ruw zijn de rotsen en grillig de bomen Krachtig de wind als hij waait langs de ree Land, mijn land gij zijt mij dierbaar Land vol schoonheid overal Land ik wil U mijn hart verpanden En U trouw zijn bovenal. Nimmer zal ik ooit de West nog vergeten Nimmer al vaar ik de wereld ook rond Niemand kan immers de liefde ooit meten Liefde gewijd aan mijn volk en grond Land, mijn land gij zijt mij dierbaar Land vol schoonheid overal Land ik wil U mijn hart verpanden En U trouw zijn bovenal.
