The Brabançonne

La Brabançonne

After centuries of slavery,Après des siècles d'esclavage,
The Belgian rising from the graveLe Belge sortant du tombeau
Has reconquered by his braveryA reconquis par son courage
His name, his rights, and his flag.Son nom, ses droits et son drapeau.
And your sovereign and proud hand,Et ta main souveraine et fière,
From now on, untamed people,Désormais, peuple indompté,
Engraved on your old banner:Grava sur ta vieille bannière :
The King, the Law, the Freedom!Le Roi, la Loi, la Liberté !
