Good songs in other languages?

Yes… I know and I have been busy posting there. But then… That’s limited to one language as well :nerd_face:

This one doesnt fit there for example…

:slightly_smiling_face: I listened to them all… Never heard of any of them … But what can I say: Alceu ValenƧa, wow, that man can sing :slightly_smiling_face:

Lieven I’m playing this one these days on the uke! I promised my old daddy I would bring my uke next time I’ll visit him…so I’m learning it for him :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Sure you don’t need tutorials but you can find it useful to check this one for guitar:

And the next one for fun with the uke :grin:

Maybe a AVideo of me playing it soon :grin:

I love this traditional Irish song covered here by Celtic Thunder. It starts out in Irish (or Celtic?), then switches to English. It’s a fun, lullaby-like song that I’m learning to play fingerstyle to share with my two grandsons.

Ohi ohi…why are are they so angry? :joy: It was a bit weird as the italian song is pretty much about lightness, with just a subtle criticism feeling too of those years’ italian lifestyle, (well at least I read it, might be arguable)

Croatian punk band (Hladno pivo - Cold beer) cover of a cover of ā€œForever youngā€, sung in German. The frontman of the band is university educated professor of both German and English languages. :smiley:

Hmm… Hmm… Well, the metal version is if course an ironic nod to the Finnish Schlager version (not to the Italian original) as well as to the tough guy ice hockey culture… :laughing:

There is a funny video of an Italian guy reacting to the original Italian Schlager…

Since replying to each and everyone separately would probably make this thread almost unreadable, I’m trying to bundle my answers here…

@NicoleKKB Ooh… That’s a very nice song. I think it would suit your voice really well…

@theoldman66 Ian, I have never heard about Rembetika. And what on earth is that microscopically small thing the one guy is playing? :open_mouth:

@mfeeney0110 Hmm… And you are singing those first lines to them in Irish Gaelic then as well? :slightly_smiling_face:

@Boris1565 Thank you so much for sharing. Reading your introduction of the song alone was an utter delight. Well, if that’s not punk, what is :grinning: I will definitely check out that band. And… The German of the singer. Perfect. I could not detect any accent at all.

@GrumpyMac Wow, what a song. There is so much emotion in the singing and playing… I love it. Is that guy known, I mean does he have albums or so?

@Silvia80 I never said you may put just one song onto the list … :grinning: :slightly_smiling_face: :nerd_face:
I know that song…I have heard it many times I just - for the life of me - can’t figure out how I know it. Eurovisions maybe?

No…wait stop. Stop the presses. I’m daft. @Silvia80 It’s this one of course… :laughing:

Ningen Isu, anyone? As one of the comments says, ā€œ8 minutes of metal thunderā€ - and with english subtitles. Contrary to appearances, that’s not Uncle Fester on bass

Apparently it’s a baglamas or baglamadaki. It is a version of the bouzouki and musically is most often found supporting the bouzouki in the rebetiko style. Under the Metaxas dictatorship (1936-41) Rebetiko was banned, due to its uncompromising (i.e. subversive) lyrics, as was playing the bouzouki and baglamas, so the baglamas’ small size made it particularly popular for musicians who needed an instrument small enough to hide under their coat to avoid having it smashed by the police! (It’s amazing the rabbit holes that a google search can lead you down!)

Very big smile :grinning: They are phantastic. All these guys are classically trained and when I saw them live last year at a festival even the sound was fine.

They’ll start their European tour in Helsinki this year - and… oh yes… I will be there :sunglasses:
