Ostend (Dutch: Oostende [oːstˈɛndə]; French: Ostende [ɔstɑ̃d]; German: Ostende [ʔɔstˈʔɛndə]) is a Belgian coasted city and municipality, located in the province of West-Flanders. It comprises the boroughs of Mariakerke, Raversijde, Stene and Zandvoorde, and the city of Ostend proper – the largest on the Belgian coast.
In earlier times, Ostend was a small village built on the east-end (oost-einde) of an island (originally called Testerep) between the North Sea and a beach lake. Although small, the village rose to the status of "town" around 1265 when the inhabitants were allowed to hold a market and to build a market hall.
The major source of income for the inhabitants was fishing. The North Sea coastline has always been rather unstable and in 1395 the inhabitants decided to build a new Ostend behind large dikes and further away from the always-threatening sea.
The strategic position on the North Sea coast had major advantages for Ostend as a harbour but also proved to be a source of trouble. The town was frequently taken, ravaged, ransacked and destroyed by conquering armies. The Dutch rebels, the Gueuzen, took control of the town. The Siege of Ostend, 1601 to 1604, of which it was said that "the Spanish assailed the unassailable and the Dutch defended the indefensible", cost a combined total of more than 80,000 dead or wounded, making it the single bloodiest battle of the Eighty Years' War. This shocking event set in motion negotiations that led to a truce several years later. When the truce broke down, it became a Dunkirker base.
The Ostend is a city district of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is part of the Ortsbezirk Innenstadt IV.
The Frankfurt Zoological Garden, the East Harbor, the former Großmarkthalle and the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management are some of the well-known institutions in the Ostend. Since 2010 the European Central Bank is building their new seat close to the Großmarkthalle at the Main river.
The Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium and the Hoch Conservatory are also located in the Ostend.

PIOLHO
Paulo Malária e Scubi Jenné
Acordei com a cabeça coçando
Tinha um troço em cima dela andando
Futuquei com a unha o cabelo
E aí veio o piolho no pelo.
Piolho, piolho,
É um bicho que perturba a gente
Piolho, piolho,
Já está me deixando doente
Estou nervoso nem sei o que faço
Até benzina no cabelo eu passo
A minha mina perguntou noutro dia
Que uma estranha coceira sentia
Piolho, piolho,
É um bicho que perturba a gente
Piolho, piolho,
Já está me deixando doente
Fui um dia tirar pasaporte
Pois eu queria viajar para o Norte
Me recusaram o salvo conduto
Só por causa do piolho maluco!
Piolho, piolho,
É um bicho que perturba a gente
Piolho, piolho,
