Forward, forward, across the seas!
Forward, forward, Nehalennia!
Forward, forward, across the seas!
Forward, forward, Nehalennia
The day is done, the mist lifts
The harbor fades from sight
We sail to places never seen before
The journey and our fate unknown
Seeking battle, women and beer
Seeking eternal glory
Here to the lady of life and death
Protect us on the open sea!
Forward, forward, across the seas!
Forward, forward, Nehalennia!
Forward, forward, across the seas!
Forward, forward, Nehalennia
The sails are full in southwesterly wind
No current too strong, nor waves too high
Braving the greatest storm!
An offering made on the Zeeland shore at the goddess's altar
Bringer of wealth, trade and light
Far from land, across the sea
The North Star leads the way
Far from land, across the sea
The North Star leads the way
Far from land, across the sea
The North Star leads the way
Far from land, across the sea
The North Star leads the way
Forward, forward, across the seas!
Forward, forward, Nehalennia!
Forward, forward, across the seas!
Forward, forward, Nehalennia
