1. We are proud of our Wallonia.
The whole world admires its children.
In the front row shines its industry
And in the arts it is appreciated as much.
Although small, our country surpasses
By its scholars larger nations.
And we want freedoms en masse: that’s
why we are proud to be Walloons!
2. Between Walloons, we always fraternize.
In misfortune, we like to help each other:
We do good without ever saying it,
By striving to keep it hidden.
Charity visiting the cottage
Take it in the evening with a hundred precautions:
We give little, but it is from a sincere heart:
This is why we are proud to be Walloons!
3. Small country, it is for your greatness of soul
That we love you, without proclaiming it too much.
Our eyes are clouded as soon as you are blamed
And our heart is ready to break.
Never fear the blows of the adversary.
Your children’s arms will defend you
We must not brave our anger:
This is why we are proud to be Walloons!
