Support The Channel: https://www.patreon.com/Feldmarschall_Friedrich Originally published in 1626 during The Eighty Years War, 'Merck Toch Hoe Sterck' has long been a popular choral hymn and patriotic song among the Dutch people. It was originally composed by Adriaen Valerius, and is alternatively known as 'The Siege of Bergen op Zoom' after the 1622 siege of Bergen op Zoom.. Lyrics (INACCURATE English): Merck, how sterck is already in the world, 'That all time' has fought our freedom. See how he slaves, graves and drains by force, To our guts and our bloet and our cities. Listen to the Spaensche drums! Hear Maraens trumpets! See how he comes to check, Mountains to occupy. Berg op Zoom wood you pious, Stut de Spaensche shears; Laet 's Lands boom end' sijn stroom Keeping Trouwlijck safe! The courageous, bloody, rage swaerd Blonck and the klonck, that the sparks of daeru flew. Quenching and livelihood, austerity of the aden, Wonder thunder now under was now upstairs; Through all the mines and the artillery, That one heard daeglijcx, Many a Spaniard in his hut Dirty in his blood. Berg op Zoom wood sich pious, 't Stut de Spaensche scharen; It 's Lands boom end' s current Keeping Trouwlijck safe! That of Oranjen quam Spanjen on board, To ridicule the felling as a hell of the violence; Maer also dra Spinola did not hear, He pulls flux on the leg with all his gentlemen. Cordua soon continues, Sach do not win that, Don Velasco was disturbed: The flax was not to spin Berg op Zoom wood you pious, 't Stut de Spaensche scharen; It 's Lands boom end' s current Keeping Trouwlijck safe! Lyrics (Dutch): Merck toch hoe sterck nu in 't werck sich al steld, Die 't allen tijd' so ons vrijheit heeft bestreden. Siet hoe hij slaeft, graeft en draeft met geweld, Om onse goet en ons bloet en onse steden. Hoort de Spaensche trommels slaen! Hoort Maraens trompetten! Siet hoe komt hij trecken aen, Bergen te bezetten. Berg op Zoom hout u vroom, Stut de Spaensche scharen; Laet 's Lands boom end' sijn stroom Trouwlijck doen bewaren! 't Moedige, bloedige, woedige swaerd Blonck en het klonck, dat de vonken daeruijt vlogen. Beving en leving, opgeving der aerd, Wonder gedonder nu onder was nu boven; Door al 't mijnen en 't geschut, Dat men daeglijcx hoorde, Menig Spanjaert in sijn hut In sijn bloed versmoorde. Berg op Zoom hout sich vroom, 't Stut de Spaensche scharen; 't Heeft 's Lands boom end' sijn stroom Trouwlijck doen bewaren! Die van Oranjen quam Spanjen aen boord, Om uijt het velt als een helt 't geweld te weeren; Maer also dra Spinola 't heeft gehoord, Trekt hij flux heen op de been met al sijn heeren. Cordua kruijd spoedig voort, Sach daer niet te winnen, Don Velasco liep gestoord: 't Vlas was niet te spinnen Berg op Zoom hout u vroom, 't Stut de Spaensche scharen; 't Heeft 's Lands boom end' sijn stroom Trouwlijck doen bewaren!
