Arise now, vigilant sons of the Netherlands!
Citizens of America,
Show yourselves to be worthy
Follow the example of your fathers,
You have chosen this land
As your second fatherland,
You have sworn loyalty to the Union.
Pledged yourself to her in need
Arise Batavians! Take up arms
Now the fires of insurrection are burning!
Do not sleep any longer,
Now your fatherland is in need!
Rally round the banners of war
For the salvation of the Union!
