Barbantia Lyrics - Ancient Rites

Bravery displayed by each side 

None seeked shelter, none did hide 

Their faces directed towards foe 

Causing wounds with every blow 

Neither then or before 

Was heard of such a man 

The duke of Brabant brave in war 

Chivalry still treasured then 

Een standaard van goud en zwart 

Schitterend in de namiddagzon 

Men streed met leeuwenhart 

Bij Woeringen waar de hertog won 

A bannar of black and gold 

Rising above the battlefield 

For friend and foe to behold 

At Woeringen their fate was sealed 

"All of thee stay at my side, 

Don't withdraw, cover my flanks 

Frontal assaults I will fight 

But kill me if I break our ranks" 

Noch doen, noch eer en wert vernomen 

Riddere en geen, noch oec gesien, 

Soe condichlike ten wige wert tien, 

Alse die hertoge, alse die hertoge
