Refrein

The text is by the Frisian writer Eeltsje

Halbertsma. The version commonly sung

today is an abridgement, dating from 1876,

by Jacobus van Loon. The song was adopt-

ed as the Frisian anthem by the Selskip

foar Frysk Taal- en Skriftekennisse

(Society for Frisian Language and Litera-

ture) on the urging of politician, writer and

poet Pieter Jelles Troelstra (1860-1930)

and has served as the (unofficial) anthem

of Friesland ever since.

English translation on page 7

Frysk bloed tsjoch op! Wol no ris

brûze en siede,

En bûnzje troch ús ieren om!

Flean op! Wy sjonge it bêste lân fan

d'ierde,

It Fryske lân fol eare en rom.

Refrein:

Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn

Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!

Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn

Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!

Hoe ek fan oermacht, need en see

betrutsen,

Oerâlde, leave Fryske grûn,

Nea waard dy fêste, taaie bân fer-

brutsen,

Dy't Friezen oan har lân ferbûn.

Refrein

Fan bûgjen frjemd, bleau by 't âld folk yn

eare,

Syn namme en taal, syn frije sin;

Syn wurd wie wet; rjocht, sljocht en trou

syn leare,

En twang, fan wa ek, stie it tsjin.

Refrein

Trochloftich folk fan dizze âlde namme,

Wês jimmer op dy âlders great!

Bliuw ivich fan dy grize, hege stamme

In grien, in krêftich bloeiend leat!

in the Northern part of the country. It

is the starting and finishing point for

ing race

Frisian waterways that is when winter

conditions allow it. The first official

Elfstedentocht was held in 1909. The

last one that took place was in Janu-

ary 1997.During World War II, after

extensive occupation by the German

forces, on 15 April 1945, the Royal

Canadian Dragoons, disobeying direct

orders, charged into the heavily

defended city and defeated the Ger

mans, who were driven out by the

next day. The Royal Canadian Dra-

goons still fly the flag of the city of

Leeuwarden wherever they are

stationed.

1. Friesian bloods come up wants to

seethe and boil

And through our veins flow!

Fly up, we sing of the best land on the

earth:

Our Friesian land full of honour and glory!

CHORUS:

Sound loud than and thunder far in a

round:

Your old honour, o Friesian ground!

Sound loud than and thunder far in a

round:

Your old honour, o Friesian ground!

2. How also from other nations, need, and

sea threatened,

age-old, beloved Frisian ground,

Those stead fast bonds were never bro-

ken,

that bound the Frisians to their land.

Chorus

3. Unused to bowing, they stayed by the

old folk in honor,

their name and language, their sense of

freedom.

Their word was law, right, humble and

true they teach,

and opposed to coercion from whomever

it might come.

Chorus

4. Serene folk of this old name,

Be always proud on your forefathers!

Stay forever of the grey, high stem

A green and mighty flowering offspring!

Chorus
