Flanders (UK: /ˈflɑːndərz/, US: /ˈflæn-/; 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. (English Lyrics / Translation) They will never tame him, the proud Flemish Lion, Even if they threaten his freedom with fetters, and with shouts. They will never tame him, as long as one Fleming lives. As long As the Lion can claw, as long as he has teeth. Chorus: 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. Time devours cities, no thrones, will ever last, However, may go under, but a people, never dies. The enemy comes marching in; surrounded by mortal danger and We laugh at his anger: "the Flemish Lion was there! Chorus:
