Netherlands National Anthem (1815-1932; Instrumental; Midi) Wien Neêrlands Bloed

At the foundation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815, it was decided that a new national anthem was needed. The hymn Het Wilhelmus – which is the national anthem today – was already well known in the time of the Dutch Republic.

(English Lyrics / Translation)
Whoever has Dutch blood flowing in their veins,
Whose heart beats proud and free,
Who glows with love for his nation,
Rejoice in song as we do!
He praises with everyone, well-affected,
The indissoluble link
That binds the Netherlands to Orange,
To Queen and country

Protect, oh Lord, protect the ground
Whereupon we breathe
This place which held our cradle
Where perhaps our dying-hour will come
We beseech of Your father hand
With joyful childlike mind
Protection for the beloved fatherland
For Queen and country

Pervade loudly, from within our festive roar
This prayer unto heaven
Watch over our ancient House of Orange
The nation for ever one family
Queen and Prince praise our song
And sound it all around
Protect the Royal Dynasty for ever
And the beloved fatherland
