Text of the Silver fleet song by Johannes Viotta:

Have you heard of the silver fleet?
the silver fleet of Spain?
He had a lot of Spanish mats on board
And apples from Orange!

At that time, Piet Hein did not speak with an eccentric word:
"But little boys from Orange,
Come, climb 'journey to this and that Spanish board
And roll me the mats of Spain "?

Did not climb the boys like cats in the want
And did not they fight like lions?
They terribly scared the Spaniards'
Their screams rang in Spain!

Piet Hein !, Piet Hein !, Piet Hein his name is small,
His actions are great
His actions are great
He has won the silver fleet,
Who won, won the Silver fleet. (bis)

Once there was such a silver fleet,
Would you still be so right?
Or would you be safe and secure?
But stop in your hammock?
Well, Holland blood,
That blood still has courage!
Although we are not big,
though we are not big
We would win the Silver fleet!
We would win, win the Silver fleet!
We would win, win the Silver fleet!
