Leiden (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈlɛi̯.də(n)]; in English and archaic Dutch also Leyden) is a city and municipality in the Dutch province of South Holland. The municipality of Leiden has a population of 122,000, but the city forms one densely connected agglomeration with its suburbs Oegstgeest, Leiderdorp, Voorschoten and Zoeterwoude with around 190,000 inhabitants. Leiden is located on the Old Rhine, at a distance of some 20 kilometres (12 miles) from The Hague to its south and some 40 kilometres (25 miles) from Amsterdam to its north. The recreational area of the Kaag Lakes (Kagerplassen) lies just to the northeast of Leiden.
A university city since 1575, Leiden houses Leiden University, the oldest university of the Netherlands, and Leiden University Medical Center. It is twinned with Oxford, the location of England's oldest university.
Leiden was formed on an artificial hill (today called the Burcht van Leiden) at the confluence of the rivers Oude and Nieuwe Rijn (Old and New Rhine). In the oldest reference to this, from circa 860, the settlement was called Leithon. The name is said to be from Germanic *leitha- "canal".

Leyden, from Dutch: Leidse kaas, is a semi-hard, cumin and caraway seed flavoured cheese made in the Netherlands from cow's milk. It is made both in factories and on farms, historically in the Leiden area.
Leidse kaas is the most common type of komijnekaas, cheese including cumin as an ingredient, in the Netherlands. The cheese is round and flat like Gouda however it is made with sharp edges on one side and less roundness to its side. It has a fat percentage of 30% to 40%, and can weigh between 3 kg (6.6 lb) and 9 kg (20 lb).
On the farms, about 5% of buttermilk may be added to the milk, and it is set with rennet at a temperature of 28 °C (82 °F) to 30 °C (86 °F). About 30 minutes later, the curd is cut with a harp, stirred, and warmed to about 33 °C (91 °F) by pouring in hot whey. The curd is dipped with a cloth and kneaded. Cumin seeds are added to a portion of the curd, and the curd is then put into cloth-lined hoops in three layers, with the spiced curd as the middle layer. The cheese is pressed for about three hours, then it is redressed, inverted, and again pressed overnight. It may be salted with dry salt, or it may be immersed in a brine bath. It is cured in a cool, moist cellar. If the rind becomes too hard, it is washed with whey or salty water.
Me estoy portando mal
No debo obrar así
Yo sé que no es feliz
Pero tiene su hogar
Porque la conocí y la llegué a querer
Si hoy puedo enloquecer si no la veo más
Ella empezó a notar lo que siente mi amor
Se aleja más y más como a la tarde el sol
Soy joven ya lo sé, ella un poco mayor
Pero mi corazón no quiere comprender
Y gritaré tu nombre, mujer, tu nombre
Mi amor no sabes que a mi edad
También se puede amar
Me estoy portando mal
No debo obrar así
Yo se que no es feliz
Pero tiene su hogar
Porque la conocí y la llegué a querer
Si hoy puedo enloquecer si no la veo más
Y gritaré tu nombre, mujer, tu nombre
Mi amor no sabes que a mi edad
