FLANDERS UP!

"Where there is mussel and fries

Where there is chicken on a spit

Where the church is in the middle

Where the purple heather blooms

And money flows in black

Where people hardly speak Dutch

Where a diploma is of no use

And the king has no child

Where the sparkling wine queen parades

Where the people are cheerful

And a fist is without strength

Where people fail and explain at the bar

Flanders above

Where one can still praise the Lord

Where people are important

And bellies are large

Flanders outside

Where the birds sing

Flanders my country

At the North Sea beach... etc..."

 

VLAANDEREN BOVEN (FLANDERS UP) A song of Raymond van het Groenewoud, 1978 (translated)
