~ Songs about your Country ~

[Commando Jordovski]

I have recently had some songs given to me by Erwin about his country and they are great, I would be interested in downloading some songs from some other countries about everyone's countries or anything to do with your country :D . Or at least your favourites and the ones you highly recommend.

My high recommendations for the best well known songs about Australia are the following, download them its worth it.

Icehouse - great southern land
Men at work - I come from a land downunder ( land downunder)
Gangajang - Sounds Of Then (This Is Australia)
christine anu - my island home
Goanna - solid rock
John Williamson - Waltzing Matilda
John Williamson - Home Among The Gum Trees

[Man of Stoat]

I see your XXXX-drinking aussie pop music and raise you the following:

Pomp and Circumstance (Land of Hope and Glory)
Rule Brittania

and the all-time classic, the opening bars of which are guaranteed to make the belly tingle: Jerusalem

[Firefly]

Ill see your land of hope and glory and raise it with Flower of Jockland!

[Topor]

I know many songs about countries other than my own - none of them usable in polite company :twisted: :wink:

NATIONAL HYMN-HIMNO NACIONAL ARGENTINO

¡Oíd, mortales, el grito sagrado
libertad, libertad, libertad!
Oíd el ruido de rotas cadenas
ved el trono a la noble igualdad.

Ya su trono dignísimo abrieron
las Provincias Unidas del Sur.
Y los libres del mundo responden:
Al gran Pueblo Argentino, salud...

Y los libres del mundo responden:
Al gran Pueblo Argentino, salud...
Y los libres del mundo responden:
¡Al gran Pueblo Argentino, salud!

Sean eternos los laureles
que supimos conseguir,
que supimos conseguir:
coronados de gloria vivamos,
o juremos con gloria morir!

--------------------------------

Hear mortals, the holy shout:
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom!.
Hear the noise of broken chains
See the throne with noble equality

Now it worthy throne is opened
the United Provinces of the south.
And the freeman of the world answer:
To the great Argentine nation, Health!

And the freeman of the world answer:
To the great Argentine nation, Health!
And the freeman of the world answer:
To the great Argentine nation, Health!

Will be eternal the laurels
that we knew how obtain...
crowned with glory we'll live,
or we'll swear, with glory, die!!!

MARCHA POR LAS ISLAS MALVINAS-MALVINAS ISLANDS MARCH

Tras su manto de neblinas,
no las hemos de olvidar.
"¡Las Malvinas, Argentinas!",
clama el viento y ruge el mar.

Ni de aquellos horizontes
nuestra enseña han de arrancar,
pues su blanco está en los montes
y en su azul se tiñe el mar.

¡Por ausente, por vencido
bajo extraño pabellón,
ningún suelo más querido;
de la patria en la extensión!

¿Quién nos habla aquí de olvido,
de renuncia, de perdón? ...
¡Ningún suelo más querido,
de la patria en la extensión.

¡Rompa el manto de neblinas,
como un sol, nuestro ideal:
"Las Malvinas, Argentinas
en dominio ya inmortal"!

Y ante el sol de nuestro emblema,
pura, nítida y triunfal,
brille ¡oh Patria!, en tu diadema
la perdida perla austral.

¡Para honor de nuestro emblema
para orgullo nacional,
brille ¡oh Patria!, en tu diadema
la pérdida perla austral.

-------------------------

Behind her cloak of mist
We won't forget them
"The Argentine Malvinas!"
cry out the wind, and roar the sea

From that horizons
They won't pull up our flag,
because the white is over the hills
and with the blue the sea is dyed.

By absent? By losing?
By strange country ruling?
Never a territory more loved
by the mother country in its extension!

Who is talking here of forgetfulnes?
of resignation or forgivenes?
Never a territory more loved
by the mother country in its extension!

Brake the cloak of mist
like a sun our history:
"The Argentine Malvinas
in inmortal domine!!"

And with the sun of our emblem
purity, spotlessnes and triumphal,
let's shine mother country, in your diadem,
the lost austral pearl!

For the honour of our emblem,
for the national pride
let's shine, mother country, in your diadem,
the lost austral pearl!

Septiembre de (2005), Buenos Aires, Argentina. :cry:
Querido amigo:
Recibí tu carta de Italia y me alegra mucho saber que todo está bien.
Aquí la cosa sigue igual, no es tan transparente. La crisis se pasea por las calles y la tristeza del pueblo es como un barco que no llega a destino.
¡No sé que pasó! ¡No sé cómo fue! Pero no te vuelvas, te diré por qué:

Si vieras que triste que está la Argentina,
tiene la mirada de los caminantes que ya no caminan.
Se muere de pena por tanta mentira,
de tanta promesa por nadie cumplida.
Si vieras sus calles que tanto reían
ya no son las mismas.

Si vieras que triste que está la Argentina,
tiene la nostalgia de aquellos amantes que nunca se olvidan.
La hicieron de goma, parece mentira.
La gente se escapa pero no hay salida.
Y hasta los gorriones, de tanta tristeza,
se fueron de gira.



Septiembre de (2005), Buenos Aires, Argentina. :D
Querido amigo:
Se me acaba de volcar el mate sobre la carta que te iba mandar, por eso te vuelvo a escribir. Me alegra mucho saber que te va bien. Aquí la cosa sigue igual, pero, de una manera u otra, vamos a salir adelante. Hay algo que no se debe perder nunca, y es la esperanza.

Si vieras que linda que está la Argentina,
tiene la mirada de la primer novia que nunca se olvida.
Desde los balcones llueven las glicinas
y a pesar de todo, camina y camina.
Si vieras de nuevo que linda y que grande que está mi Argentina.

Buenos Aires sigue llena de gorriones,
hay nuevos poetas que escriben sus tangos
y hay nuevos cantores.
Y sigue teniendo la vieja locura
que al doblar la esquina haya una aventura.
Ya ves: sigue viva y, a pesar de todo, llena de ternura.

Si acaso te encuentras con otro emigrante
decile que vuelva, que pronto seremos mejores que antes.
Que todo fue culpa de cuatro atorrantes,
que sólo lograran que el pueblo no cante
Volvé cuando quieras que juntos podremos salir adelante


--------------------------------------------------

September, (2005). Buenos Aires, Argentina :cry:
Dear friend:
I've received your letter from Italy, and I am glad to know that it's all right. Here, all is the same... Is too dark. The crisis walks around the streets, and the sadness of the people is like a ship that it can't arrive to destiny. I don't know what happened, I don't know how happened... but don't come back, I'll tell you why:

If you look how sad is Argentina
She has the look of that walkers who can't walk anymore.
She's dying of sorrow for so many lyings
so many promises by nobody realized
If you look her streets, that so many they laugh,
they are not the same

If you look how sad is Argentina
She have the nostalgia from that lovers who never are forgotten
She is destroyed, it seems a lie,
the people try to escape, but there is not an exit
Until the sparrows, for so much sadnes...
went out for trip!



September (2005), Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA! :D
Dear friend:
I've dump my tea over the letter which I was going to send you, that's because I restart writing. I am glad to know that is all right. Here, is all the same, but I am sure that we'll go an advance. There is something that never should be lost, and is the Hope.

If you look how BEAUTY is now Argentina
she has the look of the first girlfriend, who never is forgotten
from the balconies rain the glycines
and though she still walking and walking
If you look again how beauty and how big is my Argentina!

Buenos Aires is still full of sparrows,
We have new poets who write their tangos,
and we have new singers.
And she has the same madness
that in all the corners there is a new adventure,
You see, she is alive, and full of tenderness!

If you meet, another emigrant
Tell him that come back, that soon we'll be better than before.
That all was fault of four indecents
which only won the nation don't sing
Come back whenever you want, that togheter we'll go and advance!!!

(CACHO CASTAÑA)

[Eagle]

Eagle, your second song is about someone elses country.

What are you talking about??

Are you trying to say that these songs aren't argentine?

[Sturmtruppen]

Eagle, your second song is about someone elses country.

What are you talking about??

Are you trying to say that these songs aren't argentine?

It is pure argentinian,the song,the topic,the photos,ALL.

Eagle is posting all argentinian things here.

and btw,why that unnecesary post King_Nothing?

[King_Nothing]

1. Thread is called songs about your country
2. Song is about Falkland Islands
3. Falkland Islands aren't your country or part of your country
4. Ergo you’re posting an irrelevant song, which doesn't fit with the context of the thread

Rest my case.

1.True
2.They are called Malvinas Islands
3.Yes they are,and im afraid you are using a wrong name again.
4.Fake,have you seen this other 3 points?,also it is a part of argentina,watch an argentine map,it has flag (blue and white with the islands shadow in the center) and anthem (the song here)
and it is argentinian.

Instead of wasting our time,post something relevant.

[Commando Jordovski]

People, we are here to post our favourite songs about whoms country...NOT HAVE ARUGUEMENTS!!

[Commando Jordovski]

Hey if anyone is looking for a funny Australian song download and listen to this...
Artist :Chris Franklin
Title : Bloke

Its a real funny song taking the piss out of a another song. :)

[Crab_to_be]

The next post about the Malvinas / Falklands will cause flurry of post deleting activity. Bicker in another thread.
mr mod,why you deleted my post?,if you do,you also had to delete bdl's post.

why you did that?

i claim a fair reply and i want my post BACK here.

I have deleted no posts on this thread yet. But the warning given above still stands. :wink:

[student-scaley]

How about this to stir the martial zeal?

Men of Harlech (Zulu Version)

Men of Harlech stop your dreaming
Can't you see their spear points gleaming
See their warrior's pennants streaming
To this battle field

Men of Harlech stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Stand and never yield

Form the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding

Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Cambria (Welshmen never) will not yield


This version is taken from the film zulu based on the original song. It's been argued that the lyrics are bout the welsh defence of Harlech castle in 1428 against the English. However some have also argued that other versions support the English in earlier and later conflicts, as Harlech was in fact an English town with the vast majoirty of inhabitants being english colonists. Whatever the case Royalist soldiers were the last to hold the castle, when it fell as the last seige of the English civil war

[Sturmtruppen]

I have deleted no posts on this thread yet. But the warning given above still stands. :wink:
sweet!,i've seen a lot of laughs since that "wink" :wink: .

why we received agressions after the song of our country? (a part of it).

Hour to use the Greatest Hit of an old pal (???): Bullhockey

[Man of Stoat]

Okay, so it's not my country, but I live there:

This is one of the most popular Dutch-language songs (actually, it's rap) of 2005, and is surprisingly nationalistic. There are some interesting truisms in there. Personally, I don't like the song.

It is reproduced here in Dutch, and in translation (anything in parentheses is explanation):

I come from the country of Pim Fortuyn (right wing openly gay politician) and Volkert van der G. (left-wing environmental extremist who murdered Fortuyn)
The country of Theo van Gogh (murdered by an Islamic extremist) and Mohammed B (the Islamic extremist who murdered van Gogh)
Come from the country of croquettes, frikadellen (popular Dutch snacks of indeterminate origin)
That you can order up to the Spanish coast
come from the country where index (no idea) is never out of fashion
where they break you at the moment when you can make it big
come from the country of red white blue and the golden lion
Plunder the world and call it the Golden Century
Come from the country of marijuana plantations and bicycle celebration days
The country where you can ask a junkie for a bicycle
The country that became champion in ‘88
The country of herring snacks, Dykes and canals
Come from the country of, the country of lange Fransie (one of the rappers)
this is the country where I come home to after holidays

Come from the country where I was born in 1982
Where I lost the guilders for the Euro
The country that joint the war in Iraq
For round Bush has Balkenende (the Dutch Prime Minister) in his pocket
the country were being stingy really does not matter
The Baas B (the other rapper) will surely come again from South Diemen (means doomed)
The country of riots between Ajax and Feyenoord (football teams)
Only when Oranje (pet name for the national football team) plays does everybody hear it
The country of Johan Kruijf and Aben Lenstra (no idea)
The legion does not permit the lion on its shirt
the country where we hope every day for better weather
I don't trust that Piet Paulusma (a weather presenter) a single meter more
The country that is free since ‘45
The country where I remain, I find it it delightful
Honest

I come from the country which you can drive through in three short hours
with a different dialect every 10 minutes
come from the country where on paper there is room for everyone
and XTC is export number one
Come from the country where Andre Hazes (a crooner, particularly loved by old people) will still be the boss in every cafe 100 year

Come from the country where Peter Gert-Jan Raymond and Jutten
Frans Bart and Ali run the show
Come from the country where hiphop is a child of 30
And you may fill in yourself how phat that is
the country where you hand in so much if you become rich
and think to yourself, how much sense does that have?
The country where prostitution and marijuana are permitted
the country of Sinterklaas (a very Catholic version of Father Christmas, who is celebrated around the fifth of December) and the Queen's birthday
This is the country where I am lost and deceived
come from the country where I was born and raised

Come from the country with the most cultures per square meter
but one is scared to go eat with the neighbours
and integration is a brilliant word
but shít is fucking bítter when no one hears it
I share my country with Turks and Moroccans, Antillians, Moluccans and Surinamers
the country where we bottle up far too much together
and are represented worldwide by Harry Potter
the country where apartheid is the best known word from the Dutch language internationally
come from the country which takes like a timebomb
the country that eats at six o'clock and also comes again on time
this is the country which I will win over in the end
until you sing along to this at the Amsterdam Arena
and until that time I shall appear to have pledged my heart
this is for the Netherlands, Baas B Lange Frans


Ik kom uit het land van Pim Fortuin en Volkert van de G.
Het land van Theo van Gogh en Mohammed B
Kom uit het land van kroketten, frikadellen
Die je tot aan de Spaanse kust kunt bestellen
Kom uit het land waar index nooit uit de mode raken
waar ze je kraken op het moment dat je het groot gaat maken
Kom uit het land van rood wit blauw en de gouden leeuw
Plunderen de wereld noemen het de gouden eeuw
Kom uit het land van wietplantages en fietsvierdaagses
Het land waar je een junkie om een fiets kan vragen
Het land dat kampioen werd in ‘88
Het land van haring happen,dijken en grachten
Kom uit het land van, het land van lange Fransie
Dit is het land waar ik thuis kom na vakantie

Kom uit het land waar ik in 1982 geboren ben
Waar ik de guldens aan de euro verloren ben
Het land dat meedoet aan de oorlog in Irak
Want ome Bush heeft Balkenende in zijn zak
Het land van gierig zijn maakt gewoon helemaal niet uit
De Baas B komt toch wel weer uit Diemen zuid
Het land van rellen tussen Ajax en Feyenoord
Maar wanneer Oranje speelt iedereen er bij hoort
Het land van Johan Kruijf en Aben Lenstra
Het legioen laat de leeuw niet in zijn hemd staan Het land waar we elke dag hopen op wat beter weer
Die Piet Paulusma vertrouw ik voor geen meter meer
Het land dat vrij is sinds ‘45
Het land waar ik blijf, ik vind het er heerlijk
Eerlijk

Ik kom uit het land waar je door heen rijdt in 3 uurtjes
Met een ander dialect elke 10 minuutjes
Kom uit het land waar op papier een plek voor iedereen is
En XTC, export nummer 1 is
Kom uit het land waar Andre Hazes over 100 jaar in elk café nog steeds de baas is

Kom uit het land waar Peter Gert-Jan Raymond en Jutten
Frans Bart en Ali de game runnen
Kom uit het land waar hiphop een kind van 30 is
En je mag zelf weer gaan vullen hoe vet dat is
Het land waar als je rijk wordt je zoveel inlevert
En dat je bij jezelf denkt, hoeveel zin heeft het?
Het land waar prostitutie en blowen mag
Het land van sinterklaas en koninginnedag
Dit is het land waar ik verloren en bedrogen ben
Kom uit het land waar ik geboren en getogen ben

Kom uit het land met de meeste culturen per vierkante meter
Maar men is bang om bij de buren te gaan eten
En integratie is een schitterend woord
Maar shit is fucking bitter wanneer niemand het hoort
Ik deel mijn land met Turken en Marokanen, Antilianen, Molukkers en Surinamers
Het land waar we samen veels te veel opkroppen
En wereldwijd gerepresent zijn door Harry Potter
Het land waar apartheid, internationaal
het meest bekende woord is uit de Nederlandse taal
Kom uit het land wat tikt als een tijdbom
Het land dat eet om zes uur en ook nog eens op tijd komt
Dit is het land waar ik zal overwinnen aan het einde
Totdat je deze meezingt aan de ArenAlijnen
En tot die tijd zal ik schijnen ik heb mijn hart verpand
Dit is voor Nederland, Baas B Lange Frans

What about "me no like you British Soldier"?

[Gutkowski]

British Soldier's Discharge Song

When the fighting was at its fiercest
And everything looked black,
This was the promise that cheered us on:
'You'll get your old job back!'

We were not professional soldiers,
Fighting was not our game.
We were only peaceful citizens
Who fought hard just the same.

We sacrificed our wives and kids
And homes to do our bit.
But now the door is closed to us.
It seems hard, we admit.

For I can't get the old job,
And can't get a new,
Can't carry on as I used to do
I look around me, and what do I see?

Thousands and thousands of fellows
A lot worse off than me.
In Piccadilly, friends pass me by.
I'm absolutely stranded in the Strand.

And I confess I was contented, more or less,
When I was stony broke in No Man's Land.

Calm down C_C. It's no biggy. They are trying to get a rise out of Erwin. Maybe Eagle.

Serously though, when did you return to Argentina before the Brits landed or after? If after was it on the Canberra or the QE2? Or were any other ships used?
