Koning Radboud [English translation]

Radboud, the king of the free Frisian land

Was the scourge of the north and the fear of every Frank

He leveled their churches with the Frisian ground

To Cologne and the Schelde once stretched his mighty empire

Wulfram the Christian, who wanted to convert him

Promised him heaven if he would be baptized

But with one leg in the font, the Frisian king quickly changed his mind

True to his kin, he'd rather go to hell

Draw your sword

Blow the horn

Now awakens

Radboud's wrath

People of the north, unity makes us strong

Ingwaz' sons kneel not for the Franks or the church

Ever still men tell tales of his acquired fame

Immortalized through his heroics is King Radboud's name

The Franks and Christians were thwarted by this man

With his last breath he proclaimed a heathen Frisia

According to christians he is doomed, but that was not the case

Because Radboud and his kin now feast in Wodan's hall

Better dead than a slave - honor your forefathers

Better dead than a slave - stay true to your brothers

Better dead than a slave - honor your fatherland

Better dead than a slave - stay true to the gods
