Wallonia is simply defined as the southern, French-speaking half of Belgium which comes under the administration of the Walloon government, in contrast to Flanders in the north of Belgium where they speak Flemish. Belgium has four distinct linguistic areas - Flanders (the majority of the north), Wallonia (the majority of the south), the two German speaking cantons on the eastern border between Wallonia and Germany, and the officially bilingual area surrounding and including the capital city of Brussels.

The Fagne mountains/hills (?)
Perhaps a Belgian could help more, but hey, I'm awake at 1am GMT, I'm a Poulenc fan, and I was curious... a Google search on 'fagnes' reveals that the 'Hautes Fagnes' is a range of hills which includes the highest point in Belgium. At 650m or so above sea level, I doubt they count as 'proper' mountains. Presumably there is a 'Basses Fagnes' as well.
As 'Wallonie' is the French-speaking area in S Belgium, this would make sense. Does the song convey the idea of hills?
