Why is the Spanish king mentioned in the Dutch national anthem? And what about that mention of German blood?Īs you can see, the Dutch anthem is not free of controversy, and some people even say that it should be changed. However, because of the old nature of the Dutch anthem, not all Dutch know the words or understand the meaning. It’s an anthem of fifteen verses, but mainly the first (and sometimes also the sixth) verse is sung.
Have you ever heard Het Wilhelmus, the Dutch national anthem? It’s one of the oldest anthems in existence, and therefore the lyrics are not always easy to understand, full of old-fashioned words and unusual turns of phrases.
