Bump :two_hearts:

So, no one will understand a thing but these songs are so beautiful. :pleading_face:

I find it hard to translate the title of this song. It’s about a girl that wants the kind of love you hear about in songs.

Son, you’re drinking

Ohhh… let’s share some Swedish songs here :sweden:

Here’s Sweden’s national anthem. The first video is the traditional version, the other is a cool version that incorporate some of Sweden’s landscape. It’s not a pretty or cool anthem, but I it’s okay. :wink:

So there are two versions of this song. One was an entry for the Eurovision song contest. The other one is a song from the musical Chess about a chess player in Sovjet, both written by one or more people from ABBA (can’t remember).

The group ABBA is Swedish, as many of you know. Most of there songs have an English and a Swedish version so I’m not sharing them here.

We also have Zara Larsson, The Swedish House Maffia and Aviccii, but they mostly have/had songs in English.

If you’re a fan of Eurovision you probably know who Måns Zelmerlöw, some of his entries were probably had a Swedish version.


Sorry if it got a bit lengthy and most of these are pretty old because I’m really behind when it comes to music. Some of the older songs are songs that almost everyone has to sing in school.


This gained some new attention after Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s not in Swedish, it was just fun to see it :laughing:

Time to share some Dutch music. I decided to copy @fraud and start with the anthem :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:


Now, on to some more recent music, when I think Dutch music I think this:

We have quite a lot of folk music, haha! Kinda in that same line we have some music from Brabant like Guus Meeuwis


Now on to some music I personally can actually appreciate, and I had to think about it a lot. There are actually only 3 Dutch songs I am actually a fan of and listen to.

Lastly I wanna give a shout out to some Dutch bands that sing in English and I absolutely love! Sorry I couldn’t choose just one for these

we also have an instrument called a didgeridoo which was built but native australians ( Aboriginals ) traditionally only men can play the didgeridoo

So… I don’t really listen to Greek music. In fact I strongly dislike it (wtf Eliza you’re not writing an essay :woman_facepalming:t3:) Anyway. I guess I can find our anthem :woman_shrugging:t3:
