Encyclopedia > God zij met ons Suriname

God zij met ons Suriname or Opo kondreman is the national anthem of Suriname. A national anthem is a generally patriotic musical composition that is evoking and eulogizing the history, traditions and struggles of its people, recognized either by a nations government as the official national song, or by convention through use by the people. ...


The words in Dutch:

God zij met ons Suriname
Hij verheffe ons heerlijk land
Hoe wij hier ook samen kwamen
Aan zijn land zijn wij verpand
Werkend houden we in gedachten
Recht en waarheid maken vrij
Al wat goed is te betrachten
Dat geeft aan ons land waardij.

The words in Sranan Tongo: Sranang Tongo (Surinamean tongue), also Sranan Tongo or (pejorative) Takki Takki, is a Creole language spoken as a native language by 100 000 people in Suriname. ...

Opo kondreman un opo
Sranangron e kari un.
Wans ope tata komopo
Wi musu seti kondre bun.
Strey de’f strey wi no sa frede,
Gado de wi fesi man.
Eri libi te na dede
Wi sa feti gi Sranan.

English translation of Dutch:

God be with us Suriname
He elevated our lovely land
However we came together here
We are dedicated to his land
Working we keep in mind
justice and truth make free
All that's good we should do
That gives value to our land

English translation of Sranan words:

Rise country men, rise
The soil of Suriname is calling you.
Where ever our ancestors came from
We should take care of our country.
We are not afraid to fight
God is our leader
Our whole life until our death,
We will fight for Surinam.
