This translation is a little dodgy...

I strongly object to the removal of both lyrics and translations by Dbenbenn. The Dutch lyrics were retreived from Songteksten.net (without any copyright notice) and corrected. These lyrics are in the public domain in the Netherlands as they are considered to be a new kind of national antham. The lyrics are to be found on many (hundreds of) Dutch sites and are distributed freely. I also wrote to the management of Lange Frans & Baas B to make them aware of this article and the use of the lyrics. They didn't object to using the lyrics. The translations are original and made from scratch by myself. — Switisweti 00:26, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is definitely the sort of action that belongs on a discussion page before implementation. Switisweti did the English translation himself. The article represents a good deal of work and a bit of national pride. These are matters to treat with respect. Durova 03:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
