In the name of Justice and of Freedom, in my King's name I raise the sword.
To Belgium's aid, O Nations!
God save the Czar and Russia, that gave her blood for me!
God save the King and Britain, that shed her blood for me!
Forward, fair France's children! Form your battalions, hasten, hasten!
To Belgium's aid, O Nations!
