Our soul and our hearts are devoted to you!
With blood to spill for you, O fatherland!
We swear with one cry – You shall live!
So gladly bloom in beauty full,
Into what freedom has taught you to be,
And evermore shall sing your sons:
The King, and Law, and Liberty!
Faithful to the word that you may speak boldly,
For King, for Freedom and for Law!
To Law and King and Freedom, hail!
The King, and Law, and Liberty!
I spent a fair amount of time trying to be correct regarding the Belgium national anthem. The anthem has changed over the past centuries and the rendition above is supposed to be the latest and most correct. I left it in English.
Belgium has three official languages. Dutch, German and French, reflect the highly diverse population of Belgium. Belgium has sought to incorporate all languages in the latest national anthem.
