About a historic battle where an oppressed minority showed they would rather fight and die than be oppressed to the point of slavery, so they fought and won. The lyrics "leaver dea as slaef" means "rather dead than slave" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Warns

Holland wants us to kneel,
But we're a people that would rather die,
William IV believes in heroism,
In his shield and in his hilt
We as Frisians believe in ourselves,
In freedom and that is our strength
When the time comes we'll stand ready
Threaten our land, and you won't recognise us
We fight like lions, we're as strong as oxen
And when we catch you we never let go
The Frisian unity will never be lost,
It lives in us, and in our children
This is for Fryslân and for our forebears
We would rather be... Dead than slaves
Dead then slaves...
It is 1345, and the water is coloured red by the cliff
Enemies are coming to get us,
But, death, that is the fate of their count
With terror in their bones
They drown in the sludge
Threaten our homeland, and threaten our bread
Threaten our Fryslân, and that, will be your death
That will be your death...
When the time comes we'll stand ready
Threaten our land, and you won't recognise us
We fight like lions, we're as strong as oxen
And when we catch you we never let go
The Frisian unity will never be lost,
It lives in us, and in our children
This is for Fryslân and for our forebears
We would rather be... Dead than slaves
I'm a Hollander, sorry for the invasions
Eines meiner absoluten Favoriten
