God zij met ons Suriname

God zij met ons Suriname is the national anthem of Suriname.

The words in Dutch:

God zij met ons Suriname
Hij verheffe ons heerlijk land
Hoe wij hier ook samen kwamen
Aan zijn land zijn wij verpand
Werkend houden we in gedachten
Recht en waarheid maken vrij
Al wat goed is te betrachten
Dat geeft aan ons land waardij.

The words in English:

Rise country men, rise
The soil of Suriname is calling you.
Where ever our ancestors came from
We should take care of our country.
We are not afraid to fight
God is our leader
Our whole life until our death,
We will fight for Surinam.

Note that the words in English and Dutch are not literal translations of each other. A more literal translation of the Dutch to English would be:

God be with us Suriname
He elevated our lovely land
However we came together here
We are dedicated to his land
Working we keep in mind
justice and truth make free
All that's good we should do
That gives value to our land
