[QUOTE="bates, post: 217360"] Ours is the Brabaconne. But as my country has three languages groupes we also have 3 anthems for each languages groupes. As I'm Flemish, our is called the Vlaamse Leeuw ( Flemish Lion) reffering to a battle in 1302 where we beated the **** out of the French, most of us forget that later those Frenchies had a serious payback. The stories also mentions a knight in a golden harnas who led the Flemish people to victory. Nowadays the Flemish Lion is used during meeting of the more right wing orientated political parties who are proud of their roots but for offical sportgames we sing the Brabaconne. As I had been teached it in primary school and owning to travelling aroun dthe world I don't know the txt by heart any longer, this is just a copy, past action. [i]O dierbaar België, o heilig land der vaad'ren, Onze ziel en ons hart zijn U gewijd, Aanvaard ons kracht en het bloed van ons aad'ren,Wees ons doel in arbeid en in strijd, Bloei, o land, in eendracht niet te breken, Wees immer u zelf, en ongeknecht, Het woord getrouw dat g' onbevreesd moogt spreken. Voor Vorst, voor Vrijheid en voor Recht. Het woord getrouw dat g' onbevreesd moogt spreken. Voor Vorst, voor Vrijheid en voor Recht, Voor Vorst, voor Vrijheid en voor Recht. [/i] [/QUOTE]
