So what's "drie koningen" then?
@Womble
"Drie koningen" is a little song the children sing on the 6th of january. They are dressed like the 3 kings from the east. One is black, one is yellow and the last one was white. They carry a small star with them while they go from door to door and sing this song: "Drie koningen, drie koningen,
Geef mij een nieuwe hoed.
Mijne oude is versleten,
ons moeder mag het niet weten.
Ons vader heeft het geld,
op de rooster geteld."
It's hard to translate because in English is does not make any sense, but I'll try anyway:
"3 kings, 3 kings
Give me a new hat
my old one is worn out,
our mother cannot know about it
our daddy count the money on the abacus." (frame with balls for calculating)
