ConcepT anthem
Over the years the Anthem of ConcepT has grown to be a full-fledged song of three strophes. The song must be sung loudly on the melody of "The Wild Rover".
On the left, the original Dutch version can be found. On the right, the phonetic version for the people who are not familiar with the Dutch pronunciation. The phonetic version is based on English pronunciation.
On the bottom of the page, an english translation of the Anthem can be found. Please note that the literal translation of ''Beton is geil'' is ''Concrete is horny'', but it is translated to "Concrete is hot'' for the rythm.
Civielers uit Twente, wij zijn geniaal!
Civielers uit Twente met de wijsheid in pacht
Wij vormen de schakel tussen burgers en macht
Ons streven perfectie, dat is hier normaal
Civielers uit Twente, wij zijn geniaal
ConcepT uit Twente (be-ton-is-geil)
Vol techniek en beleid
Zou ik nooit anders willen
Heeft Holland bevrijd!
Sinds 1990 prominent overal
Wij hebben een mening en spuwen ons gal
Bouwen en water, verkeer is ons vak
Dit doen wij al jaren, met heel veel gemak
ConcepT uit Twente (be-ton-is-geil)
Vol techniek en beleid
Zou ik nooit anders willen
Heeft Holland bevrijd!
Beton is een mengsel van water en zand,
Gemengd met cement schept dat samen een band.
Met beton in het hart zijn Civielers vol moed.
Laat ons maar bouwen, dan komt alles goed.
ConcepT uit Twente (be-ton-is-geil)
Vol techniek en beleid
Zou ik nooit anders willen
Heeft Holland bevrijd!
