Tekst
[bewerken]- Our islands in the sea, like gems they seem to be,
- outstanding from a golden crown of blissful royalty.
- Though their people and their cultures colorful may seem,
- they yet uniquely blend to be just one family.
- Bridge:
- So we, your people raise our voice in love and unity
- Refrein:
- Dear Netherlands Antilles, so beautiful to me.
- I'm proud to be a part of you, a patriot I shall be.
- Yes Netherlands Antilles, I pledge my loyalty,
- To you always will be true; I say may God bless you.
- So blessed with sunny skies and clear welcoming seas,
- each island like a link that forms this chain of unity.
- May differ in our language, yet meet on common ground,
- When some say "Sweet Antilles" , some say "Dushi Antia ta".
- Yes, proud are we to be identified with you,
- dear Netherlands Antilles, to you we will be true.
- So we declare and vow, with dignity and love,
- Our nation we will always serve, may God keep us as one.
