Swedish: Horgalåten, here sung by Helen Sjöholm, actually a folk song and it exists with differnt lyrics, this here is lyrics-wise not the most exiting one, but my absolutely favourite musical arrangement of it.
Hungarian: Bródy János: Ha én rózsa volnék(a classic and a wonderful song, not just for teaching the conjunctive) Italian: Nek: Laura non c'è French: Juliette Noureddine et Guillaume Depardieu: [/URL]La lettre oubliée(because it's a song that breaks my heart every single time) German (more towards Austrian German that is): Pirron und Knapp: Blitzo Right now I cannot think of anything in Czech or Spanish, maybe I'll add something later. Languages I never studied but still can't refrain from sharing songs in them, that would want to make me study the language: Finnish: Loituma: Ievan polkka Faroese:Tyr: Ormurin langi Icelandic: Krummi(I guess a traditional song as well ...) Serbian: Marija Šerifović: Molitva(which won the Eurovision Soncontest in 2007, as the Soncontest is always a source for songs in languages I never thought of learning and then ....) That's all I can think of right now ... (and 5 Minutes after finishing this post I had to edit because I remembered that I absolutly forgot "Molitva" and edited for user-friendliness too) Edited by Lapislazuli on 30 November 2012 at 11:50am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This is one of my favorite Latvian songs and it’s very suitable for language learning. It’s an example of the underground music of the 80s, an interesting time that one felt nostalgic for almost immediately after it ended :) The band is called Dzeltenie Pastnieki or The Yellow Postmen. It’s possible to confuse „pastnieki” with „pastalnieki” or wearers of soft leather sandals, an item of traditional Latvian dress. In those days we always looked for that kind of subtext...
This translation is quite literal, to better reflect the language of the original. Tev ir ļoti skaistas kājas Nevar redzēt tavas kājas Nāc ārā no ūdens Lai var redzēt tavas kājas Kreiso kāju labo kāju Nāc ārā no ūdens Citādi tas slikti beigsies Ūdens līdējs ieraudzīs Ieraudzīs un pielīdīs Nāc ārā no ūdens Ūdens līdējs vienmēr lien Tur, kur skaistas kājas brien Tur, kur kājas jūrā brien Nāc ārā no ūdens You have very pretty legs Your legs can’t be seen Come out of the water So that your legs can be seen The left leg the right leg Come out of the water Otherwise it will end badly The water crawler will see Will see and will crawl over Come out of the water The water crawler always crawls There, where pretty legs wade There, where legs wade in the sea Come out of the water Dzeltenie Pastnieki 1 person has voted this message useful |
