Funny: Hee Sjoerd, a Frisian version of the Beatles' Hey Jude.
Sjoerd (Sieuwerd) is a very typical Frisian male first name in the
Netherlands. I'll translate it for you in English

Hee Sjoerd, by Tineke Hoekstra

Hee Sjoerd, it komt wol goed.
Nim in min liet en skriuw it better.
Ferjit net en lit har ta yn dyn hert,
Begjin wer opnij, mar folle better.

(Hey S, it will be alright
Take a bad song, and write it better
Don't forget and let it into your heart
Start all anew, but much better)

Hee Sjoerd, wês net benaud.
Do allinne, do kinst har fine.
En fynst har, fertrou har dan ek folslein,
Dat is 't begjin fan folle better.

(hey S, don't be afraid
Do it alone, you can find her
and find her, trust her completely
then it's the beginning of a lot better)

En al dy tiid docht it dy sear, hee Sjoerd, kom op,
Tôgje de wrâld net op dyn skouders.
Wês no net grutsk en doch net gek, dan komst der net,
Dan makkest de wrâld allinne kâlder.

(and all that time it hurt you, hey S, come on
don't bear the world on your shoulders,
don't be so proud and don't be crazy, otherwise you won't make it,
then you'll just make the world colder)

Hee Sjoerd, doch it foar my.
Gean der hinne en nimme har gau mei.
Ferjit net en lit har ta yn dyn hert.
Begjin wer opnij, mar folle better.

(Hey S, do it for me
Go there and take her with you soon
Don't forget to let her into your heart
Start all over, but a lot better)

Tink der noch mar ris goed oer nei, hee Sjoerd, begjin,
Do wachtest op immen dy't dy stipet.
It leit no allegear by dy, hee Sjoerd, set troch.
Do hast in hiel lyts triuwke nedich.

(just think it over really good again, hey S, begin
you're waiting for someone who ?s you
it all lays in your hands now, hey S, hold on
you need a very small ?)

Hee Sjoerd, it komt wol goed.
Nim in min liet en skriuw it better.
Ferjit net, fertrou har altyd folslein,
In nij begjin, mar folle

(Hey S, it will be alright
take a bad song and write it better
don't forget, alwaus trust her completely
a new beginning, but much..)

Better, better, better, better, better, better, oh&

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, hee Sjoerd&

(better better better oh, na na na na na n na na, na na na na hey S)
