Het Gelders Volkslied [English translation]

The droveways* of Gelder* are the most beautiful

In our dear Netherlands

Rich clay and moorlands

Streams, woods and hillside

Yonder the Waal*, there the Ijssel*,

Then the Maas and the Rhine as well

Give us the right to, all our lives,

Be proud of Gelderland

Where the fatherland was cultivated

By the Saxon Germanic,

That is where our tribe was born,

That is where Gelderland arose

And the grain that is now harvested

Where the savage wilderness once was

Gives us the right to be proud

Of our true Gelder race

In the villages and cities

Between Brabant* and the sea

Between Utrecht* and Westphalia

Prosperity and peace dominate

With your churches and castles,

With your little homes on the dike

Gelderland, you are the pearl

Of our Dutch kingdom

Yonder the Waal*, there the Ijssel*,

Then the Maas and the Rhine as well

Give us the right to, all our lives,

Be proud of Gelderland
