Belgian National Anthem [French version] – La Brabançonne
Après des siècles d'esclavage,
Le Belge sortant du tombeau,
A reconquis par son courage,
Son nom, ses droits et son drapeau.
Et ta main souveraine et fière,
Désormais peuple indompté,
Grava sur ta vieille bannière :
Le Roi, la Loi, la Liberté !
Marche de ton pas énergique,
Marche de progrès en progrès ;
Dieu qui protège la Belgique,
Sourit à tes mâles succès.
Travaillons, notre labeur donne
À nos champs la fécondité !
Et la splendeur des arts couronne
Le Roi, la Loi, la Liberté !
Ouvrons nos rangs à d'anciens frères,
De nous trop longtemps désunis;
Belges, Bataves, plus de guerres.
Les peuples libres sont amis.
À jamais resserrons ensemble
Les liens de fraternité
Et qu'un même cri nous rassemble :
Le Roi, la Loi, la Liberté !
Ô Belgique, ô mère chérie,
À toi nos cœurs, à toi nos bras !
À toi notre sang, ô Patrie !
Nous le jurons tous tu vivras !
Tu vivras toujours grande et belle
Et ton invincible unité
Aura pour devise immortelle:
Le Roi, la Loi, la Liberté !
Aura pour devise immortelle :
Le Roi, la Loi, la Liberté !
Le Roi, la Loi, la Liberté !
Le Roi, la Loi, la Liberté !

Translation
The Brabançonne
After centuries of slavery
The Belgian man, crawling out of his tomb,
With his courage recaptured
His name, his rights and his flag
And your hand, sovereign and proud,
A people from now on untamed,
Carved unto your old banner:
The King, the Law, Freedom!
Walk on in vigorous steps,
Walk on from progress to progress
God, you who watches over Belgium,
Smile down on your male successes
Let's get to work, our toil brings
Fertility to our fields!
And the splendour of the arts crows
The King, the Law, Freedom!
Let's open up our ranks to old brothers
Who, for too long, have been away from us
Belgians, Batavi, no more wars,
Free people are all friends
Forevermore, let's tighten
The bonds of fraternity
And let's shout as one voice:
The King, the Law, Freedom!
Oh Belgium, oh beloved mother
Yours are our hearts, yours are our arms
Yours is our blood, oh Motherland!
This we all swear, you will live!
You will live forevermore, great and beautiful,
And your invincible unity
Will have for immortal device:
The King, the Law, Freedom!
Will have for immortal device:
The King, the Law, Freedom!
The King, the Law, Freedom!
The King, the Law, Freedom!
