Sound the trumpet

Language: English

Our translations: CAT DUT FRE GER

Sound the trumpet till around
You make the listening shores rebound.
On the sprightly oboy play.
All the instruments of joy
That skilful numbers can employ
To celebrate the glory of this day.

Blaas de trompet

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the English

Blaas trompetgeschal in 't rond
Laat 't weerklinken op stil strand en grond.
Speel op de vrolijke hobo.
Alle instrumenten zo blij
Die velen kunnen bespelen
Om deze glorieuze dag te vieren.
