Flanders (Dutch: Vlaanderen; French: Flandre; German: Flandern) is the Dutch-speaking community and region of Belgium.
De Vlaamse Leeuw ("The Flemish Lion") is the official anthem of Flanders. The words of this anthem were written in 1847 by Hippoliet Van Peene . The music, by Karel Miry, is apparently influenced by Robert Schumann's Sonntags am Rhein.

Refrein: (Dutch Lyrics / Songteksten)
Zij zullen hem niet temmen, zolang een Vlaming leeft,
Zolang de Leeuw kan klauwen, zolang hij tanden heeft.
Zolang de Leeuw kan klauwen, zolang hij tanden heeft.

Chorus: (English Lyrics / Translation)
They will never tame him, as long as one Fleming lives.
As long as the Lion can claw, as long as he has teeth.
As long as the Lion can claw, as long as he has teeth.
