Zon der Vryheid, neêrgezonken,<br /><br />Verkwikt ons hart niet als wel eer,<br /><br />Zy doet ons borst niet meer ontvonken,<br /><br />Helaas! de Vryheid legt ter neêr.<br /><br />Haar Helden zyn haar thans onttoogen;<br /><br />Weg nu Vryheid's Speer en Hoed,<br /><br />Weg met al uw groot vermogen,<br /><br />De Dwing'land lacht om 's Volks Invloed. <br /><br /><br /><br />Die voor Vryheid durfde spreeken,<br /><br />En pal staan voor het Vaderland,<br /><br />Ziet men door geheime streeken,<br /><br />Op het godloost, aangerand;<br /><br />Alva's Bloed-Raad zit gespannen,<br /><br />Met den Dwingland in den Raad,<br /><br />Die, na zaamgesm-edde plannen,<br /><br />De Bloem des Volks ter neder slaat</p> <p><br />Heet dit nu, u Recht verschaffen?<br /><br />Zeg? gy Monsters van de Aard'!<br /><br />Weet, dat Godt u eens zal straffen,<br /><br />Schoon Hy nog zyn Toorn spaard.<br /><br />Ga maar voort, ô Burger-beulen,<br /><br />Verdelg elk ieder Patriot,<br /><br />Wilt hem vry ter Siagtbank seulen,<br /><br />Recht verschaft gewis ons God<br /><br /><br /><br />Ja U! zal hy Recht verschaffen,<br /><br />Lyders der Oprechtste Zaak!<br /><br />Eens zal hy dat Vloekrot straffen,<br /><br />Voldaan zien uw gerechte Wraak;<br /><br />Al moet ge in Ballingschap nu zwerven,<br /><br />In ketens zuchten - edel kroost!<br /><br />God doet d'Onschuld nooit verderven,<br /><br />Dan voor een tyd, - weest maar getroost.</p> </div> <div style="width:50%;float:right;"> <p>The sun of freedom sunk down,</p> <p>Does not revive our heart like before,</p> <p>She no longer ignites out chest,</p> <p>Unfortunately! Freedom is lying down,</p> <p>Her heroes have been taken from her</p> <p>Gone now is Freedom’s Spear and Hat,</p> <p>Away with all your great abilities,</p> <p>The Represser laughs about the people’s influence.</p> <p><br />Who dared to speak in favour of Freedom,</p> <p>And stood right in front of the Fatherland,</p> <p>People see, by means of secret plots,</p> <p>[them] most godlessly assaulted;</p> <p>Alva’s Blood-Council sits tensely,</p> <p>With the Represser in the Council,</p> <p>Which, after plans they made together,</p> <p>Beat down the Flower of the People</p> <p><br />Is this called providing Justice?</p> <p>Say? You Monsters of the Earth!</p> <p>Know, that God will punish you at some point,<br /><br />Though He still saves his wrath.</p> <p>Go forth, oh citizen-killers,</p> <p>Exterminate every and each Patriot,</p> <p>Drag him free to the slaughterhouse,</p> <p>Justice is surely provided to us by God</p> <p> </p> <p>Yes you! He will provide Justice to,</p> <p>Sufferers of the Justified Cause!</p> <p>Once he will punish those Cursed people,</p> <p>Will see satisfied your justified Vengeance;</p> <p>Even if you must now dole in Exile,</p> <p>Sigh in chains – noble offspring!</p> <p>God never spoils Innocence,</p> <p>Then for some time – be comforted.</p> <br /><br /> Translation by Rena Bood</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> Date Date of ballad 1789 Image notice Full size image/s available at the bottom of this page.
