Germanic blood would be a better translation desu

Why do you honour Spains king?

He was literally an ethnic German from Germany, don't be in denial.

And their motto is "Je maintiendrai" but that's cool in my book, doesn't mean they are cucked
Landon Thomas
This was written at the beginning of the revolt. If you read the entire anthem, it was sort of a formal deceleration of war. He respects the Spanish king, but not the Spanish rulers, and values God and the Dutch people above all else.
There was no """Deutschland"""" to refer to at that time
Diets/duits meant own people in Middle Dutch. That's also why we're called Dutch in the English language.
Ethan Gray
>There was no """Deutschland"""" to refer to at that time
The term was used in Germany already at the time

>tfw your country is so cucked the anthem doesn't have lyrics
Jaxon Carter
any lyrics would trigger someone most likely
Lucas Thomas
A country that is about to die does not need a lyric for its anthem.

Why are g*Rmans so fucking autistic? You don't even exist as an ethnicity. You're made up from: Poles, Dutch, French and Danes.

Our national anthem reflects our national history. We were never some isolated nation nor do we have weird delusions of grandeur.
Isaac Wright
It is because the Dutch royal family inherited a French kingdom of whatever of which ‘je maintiendrai’ was the motto.
It’s a bad national motto but a good one for the royal family as it is meant as a pledge that they will upkeep order and all that
Jeremiah Thompson
Faggot germ thinks hes right. Duits or was still used to refer to us dutch people until 100 or 200 years ago. Germany is not even 150 years old, so how else.
Julian Campbell
>Theodiscusis aMedieval Latinterm literally meaning "popular" or "of the people". InMedievalWestern Europenon-native Latin was the language of science, church and administration, hencetheodiscus was used as anantonymof Latin, to refer to the "native language spoken by the general populace". The term was subsequently used in theFrankish Empireto denote the nativeGermanicvernaculars. As such, it was no longer used as antonym of Latin, but ofwalhisk, a language descendent from Latin, but nevertheless the speech of the general populace as well.[1]In doing sotheodiscuseffectively obtained the meaning of "Germanic", or more specifically one of its local varieties – resulting in the EnglishexonymDutch, the GermanendonymDeutsch, and the Dutch exonymDuits, all of which are allcognatesoftheodiscus.
German tribes already called themselves " deutsch" a thousand years ago when the were speaking to Romans and referring to their common language. The dutch "duits" stems from the same theodiscus but has other than that nothing to do with the german "deutsch"
Benjamin Hall
the unified centralized german state didn't exist until 150 years ago but germany as a region and an idea is at least as old as the holy roman empire
also the icelandic cognate þýskur only refers to Germans not swamp Germans

Je maintiendrai de mon nom la haultesse.
Je maintiendrai l'honneur, la foy, la loy

You are right. The official name of the HRE literally was "Heiliges Römisches Reich DEUTSCHER Nation".
David Parker
Dunning-Kruger is a real thing
Somehow the unwashed masses on Sup Forums seem to assume that every single German became a literal retard in 2015
Ethan Thomas
So our national motto in English would be:
I shall maintain the virtue and nobility
I shall maintain the highness of my name
I shall maintain the honour, the faith and the law
Of God, the King, my friends and me
Levi Jackson
holland are definitely cucked, just look what our brave working class english lads did there last week

If you understand Dutch history it makes sence. Btw its the oldest anthem in the world.
Camden Hughes
If you actually read the text you see that
'I have always respected the Spanish king' continues to:
In god's fear to live, I have always done faithfully
That's why I was driven from my land
But god will rule me, as a good instrument
So I will return in my regiment.
It basically means 'I used to respect the spanish but they fucked with my religion and drove me away, i'm coming back to fuck them up'
BASICALLY the song says; "I USED to honour the Spanish king', as in 'we do no longer'.
Angel Hill
>The oldest national anthem, defined as "a song, as of praise, devotion, or patriotism" by Dictionary.com,[1] is the Polish national anthem "Bogurodzica", "Mother of God". The hymn was created somewhere between the 10th and 13th centuries. Although, it was not the national anthem de jure. The second oldest is the Dutch national anthem "Het Wilhelmus",[trans 2] which was written between 1568 and 1572, but not then given any official status.[2] The first anthem to be officially proclaimed as such was "God Save The Queen", adopted by Great Britain in 1745.[3] "Het Wilhelmus" was declared the national anthem of the Netherlands in 1932;

'German blood'
'Diets' or 'Duits' in the anthem means 'the people's', or you know, basically...
'Dutch'
Cameron Watson
our anthem says that Austria has lost everything (the eagle of Austria has lost its feathers) and that poles are our brothers. It predicted the fate of Austria-Hungary pretty well
Brody Hughes
>Cucked countries by national anthems
Actually, a lot of "national" anthems were composed, or written, by a foreigner for which the anthem was used. For example even though the lyrics of the Mexican Anthem were written by a Mexican, the music was written by a Spaniard.
