We steel away into the night,
I hope this never ends
Together dancing,
Around the fire,
To the sounds of folk,
In enticing carousel

So come my beauty
Follow me into the night
Door de bossen van mijn Vlaanderen
Voor altijd een plaats in m'n hart

But why are we here?
In this oppressed land
See the landscape,
Once so glorious,
Now dominated,
By wreaths of smoke

So come my beauty
Follow me into the night
Door de bossen van mijn Vlaanderen
Voor altijd een plaats in m'n hart

See my house,
Built for children and wife
Now totally destroyed,
So

Come with me, fight with me,
Or flee with me to the higher North
Come with me, defend with me,
The place where we ever lived

I'm not making plans
To give this away
This mournful beauty
So

Come with me, fight with me,
Or flee with me to the higher North
Come with me, defend with me,
The place where we ever lived

Come with me, fight with me,
Or flee with me to the higher North
Come with me, defend with me,
The place where we ever lived
