"The Song of the Walloons" (Walloon: Li tchant des Walons; French: Le Chant des Wallons) is the regional anthem of Wallonia in Belgium. The original lyrics were written by Théophile Bovy in 1900 in the Walloon language. A year later, it was set to music composed by Louis Hillier. Performed for the first time in the city of Liège, the song quickly spread to other parts of French-speaking Belgium and established itself like a "national" anthem for Wallonia.[1][2]
It was approved on 15 July 1998 by the Parliament of Wallonia, along with the region's coat of arms and flag.[3]
