Het Verbond met Rome [English translation]

The sun rises in the East

Blinds the Batavi with a golden glow

The day is born

Brothers, take courage*

Swear your oath to Rome

Lift your heads

Let not your pride sail/leave you

Swear now to serve the emperor with your blood

A pact that leads us now to the [battle]front

Brothers, unite yourselves

Tie your fate to Rome

Lift your cup

Drink [from] the chalice of unity

I see the threat disappearing for good

The unity brings us prosperity

Brothers fight now

Honour the oath to Rome

Straighten your backs

Let your anger rage

The future of our sons

Is safe because of this pact

A pact made with the emperor

The mighty Rome

Sends me to the [battle]front due to the pact

I have nothing to fear

We are the elite of this legion

Istaevones*, one with Rome

Sons of gods on the Rhine

Hercules Magusanus

Forever we honor your name
