How pretty is this story
of a brave man called Martin
A good soul worthy of fame
for what he did with his cloak

How pretty is this story…
A so called discovery
By a passing-by sail boat
On the birthday of Martin

How pretty is this story
Signing on top concordia
a treaty we must accept
As a part of our past

How pretty is this story
That Martin shared at his risk
And Sin maaten too has shared
Endangering its being

How pretty is this story
A story that was then made…
Can’t we be the makers, now ?
Taking it from here to there

How pretty is this story
A name that became legend
A legend that became real
Whatever took place back then

How pretty is this story…
And please allow me to dream
That two pieces of one coat
Become once again one coat,

One people !
