Dao, woo ich geboare bin
Woo m'n awwesjhoes nog steijt
De taal, die ich toch zo gouwd kin
Woo ich haw mien leijf en leijd
Limburg, Limburg allein
Dao geit niks boave
Zo is t'r mer ein.
Es mie awd Limburg,
Limburg allein
Dao geit niks boave
Zo is t'r mer ein.

This song, composed and sung by Jo Erens (1928-1955), first as “Zitterd Allein”, later as “Limburg allein”, written in Limburgian from Sittard, became “the” song of all Limburgians from both countries, Belgium and the Netherlands.
