Encyclopedia > In 't Bronsgroen Eikenhout

In 't Bronsgroen Eikenhout is the anthem of Limburg, a region split up in two parts: Belgian Limburg and Dutch Limburg. Since Limburg is not a country, the anthem is not official, but it is regarded as such in the whole Limburgian territory. Limburg is the name of two different adjoining provinces: Limburg (Netherlands) in the south of the Netherlands, its capital is Maastricht. ... Limburg is the easternmost province of Flanders, one of the three regions of Belgium, and is located west of the Meuse river. ... Limburg is the southern-most of the twelve provinces of the Netherlands, located in the south-east of the country. ...


Lyrics

The lyrics are written in ancient Dutch. When played, usually only the first stanza is sung, but the full lyrics are included here:

 Waar in 't bronsgroen eikenhout, 't nachtegaaltje zingt; Over 't malsche korenveld 't lied des leeuwriks klinkt; Waar de hoorn des herders schalt langs der beekjes boord: Daar is mijn Vaderland, Limburgs dierbaar oord! Waar de breede stroom der Maas, statig zeewaarts vloeit; Weeldrig sappig veldgewas kostelijk groeit en bloeit; Bloemengaard en beemd en bosch, overheerlijk gloort: Daar is mijn Vaderland, Limburgs dierbaar oord! Waar der vad'ren schoone taal klinkt met held're kracht; Waar men kloek en fier van aard vreemde praal veracht; Eigen zeden, eigen schoon, 't hart des volks bekoort: Daar is mijn Vaderland, Limburgs dierbaar oord! Waar aan 't oud Oranjehuis, 't volk blijft hou en trouw; Met ons roemrijk Nederland, één in vreugd en rouw; Trouw aan plicht en trouw aan God, heerscht van Zuid tot Noord: Daar is mijn Vaderland, Limburgs dierbaar oord!
