I love Dutch anthem. Melody is beautiful. Music and lyrics are full of good emotions and hope. Words are deep, patriotic, God-praising, extoling freedom over tyrrany and loyality to homeland at the same time. Greetings from Poland.
Hello my Polish friend! Thank you for the kind words and I absolutely agree with you! The Wilhelmus has to be one of the most beautiful and enticing national anthems in the entire world 😎 But as a Dutchman I absolutely do want to say the following: If it were not for the 1st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade my beloved country might have never been liberated at all. We owe Major General Sosabowski and his brave Polish soldiers the utmost respect and eternal gratitude for their efforts! ❤🤍💙
The tune for the Dutch national anthem is one of my favorites: its hymnlike quality is reminiscent of the Lutheran chorales (though I know the Dutch are mostly Calvinist), which makes sense given its sixteenth-century origins. I'd like to suggest the Finnish and Swedish anthems for future coverage. Both have lovely and inspiring melodies, especially the Finnish, which is so simple yet hauntingly beautiful.
The sixth couplet like are written for us Tatars. 6. Mijn schild ende betrouwen zijt Gij, o God mijn Heer, op U zo wil ik bouwen, verlaat mij nimmermeer. Dat ik doch vroom mag blijven, uw dienaar t’aller stond, de tirannie verdrijven die mij mijn hart doorwondt. 6. Qalqanım, ruxi terägem, Qödrätle, ğäziz Allam. Ğäciz itmä mine, Täñrem, Siña ğına tayanam. Xaq tarafıñda bulırmın Mäñge Sineñ qolıñ: Betsen yörägemne, xalqımnı Telgälägän zolım.
Canada has a National Anthem and a Royal Anthem. Interestingly, there is (as far as I know) no official French version of the Royal Anthem, even though Canada has two official national languages. Perhaps some enterprising Canadian could write lyrics for a French version of “God Save the King”?
The text was written from the point of view of William of Orange, who had always been loyal to the King of Spain when the Netherlands were under Spanish rule. However, the song showed his dilemma between supporting the Dutch people or remaining loyal to the King. The last line is his conclusion, he had always honoured him, but that’s in the past and he chose his people.
I want to add the following: Aanleiding van het verzet tegen Philips II was de wrede vervolging van protestanten in de Lage Landen. Verschillende malen is door Nederlandse edelen, waaronder Willem van Oranje, geprobeerd om Philips milder te stemmen en ook godsdienstvrijheid toe te staan voor protestanten, maar hij was onvermurwbaar. Het katholieke geloof moest het staatsgeloof blijven. Vanwege deze bloedige vervolgingen zijn de edelen (en Willem van Oranje) in opstand gekomen. Op 26 juli 1581 werd het zogenaamde ‘Plakkaat van Verlatinghe’ ondertekend door de Staten Generaal van de Verenigde Nederlanden. Filips II werd hierin afgezworen als koning van de Nederlanden omdat hij zich als een tiran gedroeg.
@ Helmann9265 With a little history knowledge you would find the lyrics not funny, rather tragic. Wilhelm is torn between the loyalty to the King of Spain and the fact that this king is controlling the land that should be Wilhelm's.....
@@JohnBlahuta-bb2iy Dank u! Soms lijkt het alsof niemand doorheeft dat het Wilhelmus een protestlied is, maar het lezen van uw reactie bewijst gelukkig dat er nog een paar mensen zijn die dit contrafact op waarde weten te schatten! ❤🤍💙

@@patrickmcgrath5048 I’m only getting started! I’ve got Portugal up next. But making these videos is new for me, so I have to figure a lot out. Besides, I need to manage school.
If there’s any National Anthem you’d like to see on the channel, please suggest it in the comments!
God save the king

6. Mijn schild ende betrouwen

op U zo wil ik bouwen,
verlaat mij nimmermeer.
Dat ik doch vroom mag blijven,

de tirannie verdrijven
die mij mijn hart doorwondt.

The french lyrics exist but no one uses it. There is a very short clip of the french being sung but that's it.
any enlightment why King of Spain mentioned there, thank you berforehand
