Beiaard
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Available translation(s): ENG
Zeewind strijkt over duinenrand
Glijdt er koelend door 't lage land
Roert in de torens de klokken
En de levende klokkenziel
Vrij als de wind die binnen viel
Antwoord onverschrokken
Den vijanden zwijg ik
Mijn stemme herkrijg ik
Lui Waal en Vlaam
Lui Vlaam en Waal
De zegepraal.

Belfry
Language: English  after the Dutch (Nederlands)
Sea wind rushes over dune's edge
Glides freshening through the lowlands
Stirs in towers the clocks
And the clocks' living soul
Free as the wind that entered
I answer fearlessly
Silence the enemy
Regain my voice
Toll Flemish and Walloon
Toll Walloon and Flemish
The shining victory.
