[QUOTE="bates, post: 217394"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (DonBilly @ Sep 10 2008, 09:49 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=347021']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> I guess this is the same anthem as the Brabançonne, as known in French? Is it sung in both languages when played in sporting events? By the way what do the german speaking minority sing? [/b][/quote] Basically, this is the Flemish or Dutch translation of it. The Wallonian song is called le chant des Wallons. The Germanspeaking part of the country is part of Wallonië but geographically is called the Ostkantons. They sing the Brabaconne in German which looks like this: O liebes Land, o Belgiens Erde dir unser Herz, dir unsere Hand dir unser Blut, dem Heimatherde wir schwören's dir, o Vaterland So blühe froh in voller Schöne zu der die Freiheit dich erzog und fortan singen deine Söhne: Gesetz und König und die Freiheit hoch! Genau! The name of the German speaking song I don't know, I forwarded this question to the Tourism department of the Ostkantons and I'm waiting offer an anwser. Will give you the data later. [/QUOTE]
