Vrijgevochten [English translation]

I can remember an old time

Of the origin of the Batavi

When a tribe branched (off)

And my people began their journey

I feel the pride

When I behold my country

Until in eternity

Connected to my ground

Once, I was loyal to the emperor

And I fought in his name

But the wrath of Germania

I always carried in my heart

The lust for liberty filled me

And I cast off my mask

Fierce tribes along the Rhine

Went to war with the empire

Over the seas

And across our land

There ruled the emperors

With iron fist

We sought peace

And served the emperor

But chose war

And liberated ourselves
