Volkslied

hallo,
ik heb eens zitten surfen op het internet.
en heb dit gevonden!
het volkslied van Sint Maarten!!


Where over the world, say where:
You find an island there,
So lovely small with nations free,
With people French and Dutch,
Though talking English much,
As the Sint Maarten in the sea?

Refrein:
O, sweet Sint Maarten's Land
So bright by beach and strand
With sailors on the sea and harbours free;
Where the chains of mountains green
Variously in sunlight sheen;
O, I love my paradise,

Nature's beauty very nice! (twice)
How pretty between all green
Flamboyants beaming gleam
Of flowers red by sunlight set!
Thy cows and sheep and goats
In meadows or on roads,
Thy donkeys keen can't I forget

Refrein

Sint Maarten, I love thy name,
In which Columbus fame,
And memories of old are closed.
For me a great delight:
Thy Southern Cross by night.
May God the Lord protect thy coast!

Refrein
