On Golden Fields (De Leeuwen Dansen) |
| We ask not the pleasure that riches supply |
| Our weapons shall regain |
| What betrayers must buy |
| Throwing back the invaders |
| Reigning our land and waves |
| And finally teach these nobles |
| What it means to be slaves |
| Far more large in numbers |
| Better armed they came |
| But are it not our cities |
| That these rascals claimed? |
| A victory rather certain |
| They held within their hands |
| But courage, craft and justice |
| Gave us a stronger hand |
| Bloodstained flags |
| Hear our men roar |
| But under foreign rule |
| Bloodstained flags |
| Hear our men roar |
| We shall suffer no more |
| We shall suffer no more! |
| «Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal |
| Daar 't winnen of daar 't sterven zal |
| Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen |
| De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen» |
| Oh, land of the Flanders |
| From field to shore |
| Shall view us as victors |
| Oh, land of the Flanders |
| From field to shore |
| Shall view us as victors |
| Or view us no more! |
| For victory was ours against all odds |
| Truly a miracle in a world without gods |
| Bloodstained flags |
| Hear our men roar |
| But under foreign rule |
| Bloodstained flags |
| Hear our men roar |
| We shall suffer no more |
| We shall suffer no more! |
| (I close my eyes. A voice from a century buried by time and dust teaches my |
| Ears. |
| And the troubadour sings:) |
| «Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal |
| Daar 't winnen of daar 't sterven zal |
| Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen |
| De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen» |
| En de leeuwen dansen… |
