In Het Woud Gezworen

In het heilige woud het donkere ketelwoud
Was het deze nacht verre van stil
Op de open plek kwamen zij bijeen
Stamhoofden uit 't west- en noorderland
Van verre aangereisd hielden zij nu raad
Wat is het lot wat is de Godenwil
Onrust groeide er de onvrede was sterk
De maat is vol 't is tijd voor wederstand.

Germaanse broeder
Vecht met mij
Trek uw zwaard
Sta aan mij zij
Germaanse broeder
Wees weer vrij
't Is tijd voor wraak
Sta mij nu bij.

Stemmen bulderen luidkeels klonk het woord
De opstand komt de tijd is daar
Veel te lang geknecht te lang de slaaf geweest
Het is genoeg geheven wordt het zwaard
Volkeren langs de Rijn de krachten zijn vereend
Rome wacht de haat van de Bataaf
Het Germaans verbond gesmeed is het verzet
Kom mijn broeders dit is ons jaar.

Germaanse broeder
Voel vrijheid weer
Ons volk d'r trots
Van weleer
Germaanse broeder
Vrees niet meer
Vecht voor ons volk
En onze Heer.

[English translation:]

[Sworn In The Woods]

In the sacred forest of the dark wood cauldron
Was this night far from quiet
In the clearing they came together
Chiefs from the west and north country
From afar they traveled to hold council now
What is the fate which is God's Will
Unrest grew, discontent was strong
The measure is full, it is time to re-establish.

Germanic brother
Fight with me
Draw your sword
Allow me to it
Germanic brother
Be free again
It's time for revenge
Stand with me now.

Voices roar, loudly sounded the word
The revolt of the time is there
Far too long oppressed, for too long been the slave
It is enough, raised the sword
Peoples along the Rhine unite forces
Rome awaits the hatred of the Batavia
The Germanic alliance forged the resistance
Come my brothers, this is our year.

Germanic brother
Feel free again
Our people of pride
Of yore
Germanic brother
Fear no more
Fight for our people
And our Lord.

[English translation 2:]

In the holy woods, the dark Ketelwald
It was far from quiet on this night
In the open space they gathered
Tribe chiefs from the western and northern lands
Travelled from far, they now held council
What is fate, what is the Gods' will?
Unrest grew there, discontent was strong
Enough is enough, it's time for resistance.

Germanic brother
Fight with me
Draw your sword
Stand at my side
Germanic brother
Be free again
It's time for revenge
Stand with me.

Voices roar, the word resounded loudly
The resistance comes, the time is now
Enslaved for too long, been the slave for too long
It's enough, the sword is raised
Peoples along the Rhine, the powers are combined
Rome awaits the hate of the Batavian
The Germanic alliance, the resistance is forged
Come my brothers, this is our year.

Germanic brother
Feel freedom again
Our people's pride
Of yore
Germanic brother
Fear no more
Fight for our people
And our Lord.
