The Anthem of the Walloons

I.
Of our land Wallonia we are proud.
Her children are esteemed the world over.
Behold the triumph of her industry,
The grandeur of her arts!
Though our land be small, still her science
Surpasses that of many a populous nation
What we yearn for most is our freedom.
That is why we are proud to be Walloons!

II.
We Walloons are brothers to one another
And comfort one another in distress
We do good without boasting about it
And try to keep it secret
Charity visiting a poor cottage
Goes by night and cautiously
We may give little, but it comes from the heart.
That is why we are proud to be Walloons!

III.
O humble land of Wallonia,
Modestly we hail thee, land of our hearts' desire.
We are saddened when men speak ill of thee.
It truly breaks the heart!
But fear not attacks from the enemy
Thy children will defend thy high repute.
Who dare affront our anger?
That is why we are proud to be Walloons!
