==== First version (August 1830) ==== {{Verse translation|lang=fr| Dignes enfants de la Belgique Qu'un beau délire a soulevé, À votre élan patriotique De grand succès sont réservés. Restons armés que rien ne change ! Gardons la même volonté, Et nous verrons refleurir l'Orange Sur l'arbre de la Liberté. Aux cris de meurtre et de pillage, Des méchants s'étaient rassemblés, Mais votre énergique courage Loin de vous les a refoulés. Maintenant, purs de cette fange Qui flétrissait votre cité, Amis, il faut greffer l'Orange Sur l'arbre de la Liberté. Et toi, dans qui ton peuple espère, Nassau, consacre enfin nos droits ; Des Belges en restant le père Tu seras l'exemple des rois. Abjure un ministre étrange, Rejette un nom trop détesté, Et tu verras mûrir l'Orange Sur l'arbre de la Liberté. Mais malheur, si, de l'arbitraire Protégeant les affreux projets, Sur nous du canon sanguinaire, Tu venais lancer les boulets ! Alors tout est fini, tout change, Plus de pacte, plus de traité, Et tu verras tomber l'Orange De l'arbre de la Liberté.| Worthy children of the [[Low Countries]]{{Efn|The [[Belgian Revolution]] was not originally separatist, but was a movement for further liberalization of the Netherlands and more rights for French language. The name of "Belgium/Belgia/Belgique" at this time is poetic Latin name of [[United Kingdom of the Netherlands|Netherlands]] and official name of Netherlands in French language.}} Whom a fine passion has aroused, To your patriotic fervour Great successes lie in store. Remain under arms, so that naught shall change! Let us keep to the same will, And we shall see [[House of Orange|Orange]] bloom anew Upon the tree of Liberty.{{Efn|At this time was popular symbol of the [[French Revolution]].}} To cries of murder and pillage, The wicked had rallied around, But your forceful courage Has pushed them far away. Now, pure of this filth That was soiling your city, Friends, we must graft Orange Onto the tree of Liberty. And you, in whom your people place their hopes, Nassau, set firm our rights at last; Remaining the father of the Belgians, You'll be the example of kings. Forswear a foreign minister, Reject a too hated name, And you will see Orange ripen Upon the tree of Liberty. But woe to you if, wilfully, Pursuing dreadful plans, You turn on us The bloody cannon's fire! Then all is over, all is changing; No more pact, no more treaty, And you shall see Orange fall From the tree of Liberty.}}
