JingLe Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 This song is called Fairy Tale by Micheal Wong but this guy made a cover and sings it in 5 languages. While i think the original sounds better, 5 languages is very impressive so thought i'd share it here. Also, i think he switches language every 40-55 secs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0k_SGV1SMs&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLBSqFWuYEqvKHpRHtAmgX0x-CRjlOnSl7 Link to post Share on other sites
Moon Ace Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Classic video by Finnish one-man band Keuhkot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ArnsN67qjY ^_^ Talking about Finnish, this is pretty funny. I like it: The lyrics are on the site, and so is the translation. This is one of my favourite ones these days. Even though it's about something very sad, but I really like it. (Not sure if others will...) http://youtu.be/P-pi93YGd10 Crucan na bpaiste Is briste mo chroí, is uaigneach mo shlí Is mo stóirín in a luí is mé cráite; ‘S é deireadh mo shaol, is mo chailín beag rua Sínte i gCrucán na bPáiste Ni fheicfidh sí arís an drúcht ar an bhféar Nó an sneachta i ngleannta Mhaamtrasna Gan ghrian ar a h-aghaidh, gan ceol binn na n-éan Ach an chré fuar i gCrucán na bPáiste Chorus: In ainm an Athair is in ainm an Mhic Is a Mháithrín atá lán de ghrásta; In ainm an Spioraid Naomh ná fág me beo Is mo mháinlín i gCrucán bPáiste Is buartha na sléibhte, is tá mairg ar an Mask Is olc mise gan i bheith sábháilte; Is an fhad a bhéas mé beo ní sheasfaidh mé ar fhód Na hÉireann nó i gCrucán na bPáiste. Repeat chorus: Broken my heart, lonely my life With my darling child lying here and me tormented It is the end of my world, my little red-haired girl Laid out in Crucán na bPáiste She will not see again the dew on the grass Nor the snow in the glens of Maamtrasna No sun on her face, no sweet song of the birds Only the cold earth of Crucán na bPáiste Chorus: In the name of the Father and in the name of the Son And Mother Mary full of grace; In the name of the Holy Spirit, don’t leave me alive With my little angel in Crucán na bPáiste There is sadness on the mountains, anger on the Mask But much worse am I that didn’t save her And for the time I am alive never more will I stand In Ireland or in Crucán na bPáiste. Repeat Chorus Link to post Share on other sites

A name is required Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 hebrew and english are my native language, but i'm enchanted by yiddish (a eastern-european jewish language) i wish i would know more of it (unfortunately the yiddish language is dying now, because few and few people understand it) . i will add to songs here on yiddish two of them are very different . one is a sad one of Longing to the old jewish towns in eastern europe (the שטאטעל) the other song represent more happy yiddish, as it is written "in the new world" (america) and is way more funny (like the yiddish language itself, which is the most funny language out there) it's a play song, which is one of the most funny that i know (i'm sorry but my yiddish is not so good so i can translate the entire thing) Link to post Share on other sites
