Were di

Schoon is de jeugd, die zelf zich eert,
sterk als gedegen staal.
Vredig van aard, maar die zich weert.
Vecht voor heur ideaal.

Were di, kameraad.
Were di, kameraad.
Eerst te woord, dan ter daad.
Were di, kameraad.
Were di, waar ge zijt.
Were di, sta bereid.
Were di, waar het lot u ook leidt,
Were di!

Flink is de jeugd, die durft en wil,
wat heur behoort in recht.
Nooit zich vergooit voor vreemde gril.
Taai om heur waarden vecht. Kameraad.

Were di, kameraad.
Were di, kameraad.
Eerst te woord, dan ter daad.
Were di, kameraad.
Were di, waar ge zijt.
Were di, sta bereid.
Were di. Were di.
Were di!

Rijk is de jeugd, die denkt en strijdt,
om wat nog komen moet.
Kloek en beraden zich bereidt.
Harten en zielen hoedt.

Were di, kameraad.
Were di, kameraad.
Eerst te woord, dan ter daad.
Were di, kameraad.
Were di, waar ge zijt.
Were di, sta bereid.
Were di. Were di.
Were di!
