La Brabançonne
Af Sumal Aan ku faraxsanahay, Belgium, dhul quduus ah oo awowayaashiin ah -
- Nolosheenna iyo qalbigayaga ayaa lagugu soo koobay!
- Dhiirrigelinta dhiiggaaga, adiga, Waalidiinta!
- Waxaan ku dhaaranaynaa hal qaylo - Waxaad ku noolaan doontaa!
- Sidaa daraadeed si farxad leh ayuu ubaxu ugu qurxoon yahay,
- Xoriyad noocee ah ayaad ku baratay inaad noqoto,
- Oo weligayba waxay ammaan ku gabyi doonaan wiilashaada,
- Boqorka, Sharciga, Liberty!
- Waad ku kalsoon tahay erayada aad ku hadli karto geesinimo,
- Boqorka, Xorriyadda iyo Sharciga!
- Sharciga iyo Boqorka iyo Xorriyadda
- Boqorka, Sharciga, Liberty!
