This song is performed in my language: DUTCH.
Everybody, in Belgium talked about this song, and me? well, I knew that this song was "the talk of the town", it was in the ULTRA HIT PARADE for about 36 weeks.
As far as I listened it for the first time, only a few weeks ago, on the radio in my car, yep, Arkady, a lot of things in my life changed since I stopped working, before stopping, I listened at least to 10 CD's in my car, driving 400 miles a week, I have still the same CD's as 4 months ago. I also hate to change them because the position to change them (bending a little bit, only for 3-4 minutes), gives me too much pain, so I heard that song only once, and trying to find more, well I detected a few songs on youtube.
My opinion: THIS SONG could be a huge hit, with English lyrics. It is a mix of a few styles, ballad, some kind of "rap"... and if you just listen to the song and forget about the lyrics, it is for me one of the best songs I heard for years. It should be very interesting to try and get the rights to use the music using English lyrics.
That's why this topic is called listen please.
We have some fantastic artists here. Another option for us, here in Belgium is starting to use FRENCH lyrics. This country is a REAL JOKE, we went to vote (IT IS not a right here, but a law that every person older than 18 has to vote) in juin 2007, and the big problem is we have 2 languages here (60% Flemish = dutch, 40% French, and I forgot the third language : GERMAN).
So for a "federal government" if a dutch political party is elected, the French "sister party" has to be in the federal government too, how small she is. It took almost 7 months to have an INTERIM government. THIS IS BELGIUM. Probably JACQUES BREL rings a little bell, he is Flemish, but started singing in French, resulting in the fact that France consider him as a French artist.
I am really glad and happy that you listened to that song. I hope that a lot more chordians will do this. It brings me even on an idea, to create a topic where you can use a link to listen to songs in another language, like Irish, Scottish, and other songs. This idea is 50% based on our conversation, so we try to do this one together, like Arkady+Gitaardocphil are interested in..

I took what I could get from the translation and tried to stay with the original feel for the song. I'll be posting it on youtube when I complete it. I'll be sure to send you a link! " Festival Yeaaa..." Peace!
