      @@DAnce-wp5ct De tekst van het lied is in de mond gelegd van Willem van Oranje, alsof hij die zelf uitgesproken heeft. De tekst weerspiegelt Willem van Oranjes tweestrijd inzake de opstand in de Nederlanden: enerzijds probeert hij als vertegenwoordiger van het staatsgezag trouw te zijn aan de Spaanse koning, anderzijds volgt hij zijn geweten dat hem voorschrijft in de eerste plaats God en het Nederlandse volk te dienen. Willem van Oranje geeft aan van Duits bloed te zijn. Dit heeft betrekking op de gebieden van het Heilige Roomse Rijk te zijn, waar in de 16e eeuw de gebieden van het huidige Duitsland en de Nederlanden onder vielen. Het is dus pertinent onjuist te beweren dat de tekst zo moet worden uitgelegd dat “wij” thans zingen van Duits bloed te zijn.

    My brother and I were hitch-hiking through the Netherlands (we wore our Scout rucksacks on which was the word Canada and our flag)............as we came to a city centre where a great crowd was assembled without knowing that they were celebrating Dutch freedom from the Nazis.......as we hiked along.....the crowd went suddenly silent and then parted to let us through......then someone spotted our flags and the word Canada and the crowd went nuts......people rushed toward us clapping and singing.....and we were literally swept up by the crowd and propelled along as the centre of attraction.......we were hugged and kissed and welcomed by everyone......it turned out that a Canadian regiment had freed the city during the war and everyone thought we were young soldier wearing Scout military pattern rucksacks......what a reception we were given.....!

      You must understand that the winter of '45 was really horrible for the still occupied parts beyond the rivers. The USA didn't really care to liberate us, they were after the war industry of Germany to get their grubby hands on the advancements made by the Germans in several technologies. If it weren't for the Canadians liberating us, we would have suffered even more because the USA would have taken their sweet time with Germany first.

      There's totally nothing special about that XD Find a country where they don't stand for the anthem and show respect for the flag. I mean, just really, that's not a Dutch nor German nor Swedish nor Polish nor Russian nor American thing, that's just completely normal guys. In Poland we stand for the national anthem, for Rota, for Boże coś Polskę, for Z dawna Polski Tyś Królową, for Gaude Mater Polonia and for Bogurodzica. We even stand for a Christmas carol called Bóg się rodzi. And as far as I know the Brits also stand for Jerusalem, Land of Hope and Glory, I Vow to Thee My Country etc. That's quite a common practice everywhere. Btw Wilhelmus is a very specific anthem when it comes to the lyrics, but its music is epic.

      To be historically accurate it's actually some delightfully brazen propaganda for William of Orange who was a very wiley politician and - despite what we like to think today-initially didn't want independance from Spain. Only when it became politically expedient for him did he become the great leader of the Dutch revolt.
      Still a beautiful anthem!

      Me too. I'm Dutch, I love the melody but the lyrics are as beautiful. The anthem sings of William of Orange, who led the uprising against the Spanish king who then cruelly oppressed it. This war would last 80 years and William wouldn't see its end. But the fire he started never went out, his sons followed in his footsteps and after a long war, the Dutch were finally free.

    As a US Air Force officer while serving in Europe, my wife and I stood in the main square in Amsterdam as people gathered to celebrate Liberation Day. I remember the queen coming out of the her building and walking right past where I stood. She was followed by WWII veterans of the British and American armies who liberated the Netherlands. She gave a moving speech. But the thing I recall the most is the playing of the Dutch National Anthem. I was moved by its beauty. I turned to a stranger next to me who was Dutch and told him I thought the Dutch anthem was very beautiful. His face lit up and he smiled from ear to ear and thanked me for my kindness. He was very proud at that moment.

    One of the best anthem. It's so unique and the lyrics are amazing. It's in William The Silent's perspective, and how he has felt loyalty to his land and his people, and even though he has been loyal to the King of Spain, but because of the persecution and rights not given to the Dutch people, he then turns against them. From the royal's favourite to an enemy. The anthem has a very emotional message and tune resonating to a deep wound or a yearning to one's fatherland, and God - in which William of Nassau wants to rely on and all he ever wanted to do.

    I am Indonesian. But my father was a dutch naval officer. After Indonesian independence he chose to be integrated in the Indonesian navy because his family resided in Indonesia at the time. His family was of the local nobility, that is the reason he could become a dutch naval officer. The grave of his grandfather still mentions that he , the grand father, is a Regent, meaning a local baron accepted by the dutch colonial government to run their business. Upon independence because of the knowledge of my father regarding dutch naval business, he was appointed to run Indonesian naval business building on his knowledge regarding dutch technique My father was stationed in The Netherlands therefor and I was sent to a dutch school. and just mingled with my dutch schoolmates. In school I was taught the dutch national anthem. I must say I liked the melody. I knew just only the dutch national anthem and still until this day I am emotional when the dutch national anthem is played. I have some kind of chemistry I think. If you want to rationalize this, the dutch recognized they could dominate the population in the Indies only if they dominated the nobility on the many Indonesian isles. This they did and to their advantage. Anyway, although am Indonesian I still like to hear the Dutch national anthem. It brings back many memories.The Indonesian national anthem is nice too however, and I like to hear it, but for me personally it has less emotion because of what I mentioned before.Anyway I respect both Indonesia and The Netherlands. Indonesia has the right to be independent, but the Dutch need not be ashamed. They did bad things but according to the time spirit. Any way my great grand fathers accepted the rule so who I am to judge they were wrong?
