Song and Chant page

What are we without songs and chants. You can find the chants on the left. The song below is the translation of City-anthem of Breda.

Te midden van de paarse heide
Waar samenstroomt de Mark en Aa
Daar ligt de roem van alle tijden
Onze eigen stad, ons eigen fier Breda
Breda, vooruit
De klokken luiden
Breda vooruit
De parel van het zuiden

In the middle of the purple heather
Were stream together the Mark* and Aa*
there lay the glory of all times
Our City, our proud Breda
Breda go on
the bells are ringing
Breda go on
the pearl of the south

* Mark and Aa are rivers. Thanks to the river Aa that's gives us the name of our city: city on the Broad Aa (breede Aa) that is now called: Breda

The Aa got now an other name: Aa of Weerijs.
