Didn't know of Emma before, but you can hear in her performance this song is personal . And beautiful! Thanks for the experience of this new introduction to me!❤❤❤❤
Roskoe, Emma very much sings songs that have meaning for her, partly because her stage time is so limited because of the feeding tube issues, she can only be completely free of them for 2 hours a day, and that's a huge mental challenge that doesn't go away.

One of their main people is a surgeon who has a lot of experience in dealing with gastroparesis, and she is not only a surgeon, but also suffers from the same disease herself, to the extent that as a result of her condition worsening, she's had to leave her role in the hospital, and she is now dedicated to the foundation, and working to help find possible new treatments, or even better the cure that will free people like Emma to live a more normal life, rather than be tied to the feeding pumps for so many hours every day. It will be so good if the work of Emma's foundation can lead to a better treatment, or even a cure, which will free her to do more singing, and it may be people here who make that possible.
Hello Roskoe, Hereby the English lyrics of this heartbraking song which she is still connected with. She cries but she laughs ------------------------ She sits here on the train alone and she hides in her coat And looks out of the window and wonders How it would feel to be herself Because sometimes it hurts when she cries but she smiles She cries but she smiles She walks through a world that doesn't feel kind Unknowingly she says the things that everyone does Because she's never not doing well, always okay And she talks with them, and she smiles She cries but she smiles And now she lets it go And now she lets it go She feels alone when she walks through the city And she looks into the window, sees another standing there And she knows who it is, but she doesn't want to be her And keeps up appearances And she smiles She cries but she smiles What if she decides not to hide tomorrow Trade in her better her for her true face Will the friends who she wants to trust Still love her? If she cries, if she cries and doesn't smile And now she lets it go And now she lets it go She lets it go She lets it go Ah, ah, she lets it go I sit here on the train alone and hide in my coat And look out of the window and wonder How would it feel to be myself? Because sometimes it hurts when I cry But I smile Enjoy and keep up the good work

The song tells about her own condition. The title "Ze huilt maar ze lacht" is in Dutch and it means "She cries but she laughs".
Hello Roskoe,
Hereby the English lyrics of this heartbraking song which she is still connected with.
She cries but she laughs
------------------------
She sits here on the train alone and she hides in her coat
And looks out of the window and wonders
How it would feel to be herself
Because sometimes it hurts when she cries but she smiles
She cries but she smiles
She walks through a world that doesn't feel kind
Unknowingly she says the things that everyone does
Because she's never not doing well, always okay
And she talks with them, and she smiles
She cries but she smiles
And now she lets it go
And now she lets it go
She feels alone when she walks through the city
And she looks into the window, sees another standing there
And she knows who it is, but she doesn't want to be her
And keeps up appearances
And she smiles
She cries but she smiles
What if she decides not to hide tomorrow
Trade in her better her for her true face
Will the friends who she wants to trust
Still love her?
If she cries, if she cries and doesn't smile
And now she lets it go
And now she lets it go
She lets it go
She lets it go
Ah, ah, she lets it go
I sit here on the train alone and hide in my coat
And look out of the window and wonder
How would it feel to be myself?
Because sometimes it hurts when I cry
But I smile
Enjoy and keep up the good work
Thank you, Herka
