Batavian	Translated in Common Tongue
O prachtig Batavië Kroon der natiën Uw bergen en dalen Mooier kan het niet zijn Uw rivier’ en beken Schoon en fris zijn zij Burgers wees er trots op Uw land is zo schoon Burgers wees er trots op Uw land Batavië!	O beautiful Batavia Crown of the nations Your mountains and valleys It can't be more beautiful Your rivers and streams They are clean and fresh Citizens be proud of it Your country is so clean Citizens be proud of it Your country Batavia!

An alternative anthem, which was introduced during the Fourth Kingdom, was the song "Risen from Ruins" (Batavian: Oprijzen uit de ruïnen). In addition, other songs have been used for parts of Batavia, read more about these songs.
