Now and then, there's a reunion of old men who fought in war
They march by in wheelchairs and with sticks in their hands
You might laugh about them because they look silly and old
But keep in mind they did the job in war
Chorus (2x):
See the old veterans marching by
With a Dutch flag raised high in the sky
We won't forget what they did during the war
A generation starving out, so pay attention and show some respect
Listen to their tales, you might learn something useful
This might be the last time that we can see our heroes alive
These are the men to which I pay respect
Chorus (2x)
We salute our heroes of the past
See our flag waving in the sky
May this moment last forever
Hail the veterans ... (3x)
... Their spirit never dies
Chorus (2x)
