|
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 |
