This rendition of Escuchad El Son Triunfal, the Spanish version of Hark The Herald Angels Sing. I'm trying to learn the song in both languages.

In my head:
- The Time of the Preacher (or whatever it's called), by Willie Nelson, on account of the prominent role it plays in Edge of Darkness
- the score from Edge of Darkness (by Eric Clapton and Michael Kamen)
- the score from Get Carter, on account of being reminded of it by the score from Edge of Darkness
[if you can't guess, i've recently been watching Edge of Darkness. Edge of Darkness is brilliant.]
- an assortment of annoying christmas and fifties music, due to people playing it in the shops incessantly

['Christmas' and 'fifties' seem to be becoming synonymous. Tescos the other day just had Elvis Presley's greatest hits on a continual loop. I'd never previously considered 'Viva Las Vegas' and 'Jailhouse Rock' to be christmas songs...]

Salmoneus wrote:'Christmas' and 'fifties' seem to be becoming synonymous.

宋捷 - 我会想起你

Finally, I've found a song in Mandarin that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out at how fake it sounds/is. Even though they cut off half the song in this vid (you can tell by the fact that it sounds like there's supposed to be more but then the video cuts off), but actually it just repeats the song from the beginning and merging the last 2 verses (or chorus, if you could consider it that)

Well, then, we need a regular "what are you listening to" thread.

We have one, but it's not limited to music.

Apart from the actual Mandarin, whose ugliness makes me want to gouge my eyes out by itself, I like that one. Tanks. Have this one in return.


I got bored for a bit and made a list of things I've been listening to in the last however long: Pârsi, Paśto, Djudezmo, Türkçe, Adyghebze, Lišān Didān, Français.

Calle 13 - Pa'l Norte

Una pierrrna que rrrehpiran
Veneno de serrrpiente
Por el camino del viento
Voy soplando aguarrrdiente

"El día había comenzado entusiasmado y alegre."

--¡Dice! (jajajajaja) ¡Pasapolte!
- ¿Pa' 'onde va para ái, caminario, en esta noche tan fea?
- ¿Usté' no se anima?
- Mire como ehtá el camino: anegaíííto.
- Como hombre, compa. El camino eh lo de meno'. ¡Lo impoltante eh llegar veloz!

Tengo tu antídoto...
Pal' que no tiene identida'
Somos idéntico'...
Pal' que llegó sin avisa'
Vengo tranquílito...
Para loh que ya no ehtán, para loh que ehtán y loh que vienen (x2)

Un nómada sin rumbo
La energía negativa yo la derrumbo
Con mih pezuñad de cordero
Me propus' yo recorrer el continente entero
Sin brújula, sin tiempo, sin agenda
Inspirau por lal leyendah
Por hihtoriah empaquetadah en lata,
Pol los cuentos que la luna relata
Aprendí a caminar sin mapa...

A irme de caminatah, sin comodidades, sin lujoh
Protegido por los santoh y lob brujoh
Aprendí a ehcribil mierdas en mi libreta
Y con un mihmo idioma sacudil todo el planeta
Aprendí que mi pueblo todavía reza
Polque lah putah autoridadeh y la puta realeza (ayarray!)
Todavía se mueven pol debajo 'e la mesa
Aprendí a tragalme la depresión con cerveza
Mi patrono yo lo ehcupo dehde la' montañah
Y con mi propia saliva enveneno su champaña
(pero dilo bajo!)
Enveneno su champaña...

Sigo tomando ron...
Tengo tu antídoto...
Pal' que no tiene identida'
Somos idéntico'...
Pal' que llegó sin avisa'
Vengo tranquílito...
Para loh que ya no ehtán, para los que ehtán y loh que vienen (x2)

En tu sonrisa yo veo una guerrilla,
Una aventura, un movimiento
Tu lenguaje, tu acento
Yo quiero dehcubril lo que ya ehtaba dehcubielto
Ser un emigrante, ese eh mi depolte
"Hoy me voy pa'l norte sin pasapolte, sin transpolte"
A pie, con lah patah
Pero no impolta ehte hombre se hidrata
Con lo que retratan mih pupilah
Cargo con un par de paisajes en mi mochila,
Cargo con vitamina de clorofila,
Cargo con un rosario que me vigila

Sueño con cruzar el meridiano,
Rehbalando por lah cuerdad del cuatro de Aureliano
Y llegarle tempranito temprano a la orilla
Por el desierto con loh pieh a la parrilla
Vamoh pol debajo de la tierra como lah aldillah,
Yo vua cruzar la muralla
Yo soy un intruso con identidad de recluso
Y por eso me convielto en buzo
Y buceo pol debajo de la tierra
Pa' que no me vean log gualdiah
Y loh perroh no me güelan...
Agüela no se preocupe
Que en mi cuello cuelga la vilgen de la Guadalupe

Oye, para todoh loh emigranteh del mundo entero... allá va eso... Calle 13

Tengo tu antídoto...
Pal' que no tiene identida'
Somos idéntico'...
Pal' que llegó sin avisa'
Vengo tranquilito...
Para loh que ya no ehtán, para loh que ehtán y loh que vienen (x3)

Esta producción artístico-cultural -co-cultural, hecha con cariño y con esfuerzo, sea como un llamado de voluntad y esperanza para todos todos, todos todos.

Who sings at the beginning? I want more of her voice.

Another good Mandarin song: 孙楠 - 拯救

And by good I really mean not a sappy love ballad with weird synthesizers and shit.

Seraph, do you really have to write codas like that. It makes me cringe.

sacudil?
lol

She's Ileana Mercedes "PG-13" Cabra Joglar, the half-sister of the two step-brothers in the Calle 13 group, who gets some lines in the songs now and then, plus doing background vocals.

She has in fact produced a single: La Pared.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsdRg1Hq73Y
The song is three minutes long, but the video was mistakenly uploaded consecutively twice on YouTube (without audio the second time).


(En esta noche de boleros, el romanticismo nuevamente se hace presente con una hermosa letra de Don Roberto Anglero. Canta Ileana Mercedes, La Pared.)

Ahí está la pared
Que separa tu vida y la mía
Ahí está la pared
Que no deja que nos acerquemos

Esa maldita pared
Yo la voy a romper algún día
Ya lo verás, mi querer
que volverás a ser mía

No puedo mirarte
No puedo abrazarte
No puedo besarte
Ni sentirte mía
Mía nada más
Mía nada más

Esa maldita pared
Yo la voy a romper algún día
Para que no pueda más
Interrumpir nuestras vidas

No puedo mirarte
No puedo abrazarte
No puedo besarte
Ni sentirte mía
Mía nada más
Mía nada más

Esa maldita pared
Yo la voy a romper algún día
Para que no pueda más
Interrumpir nuestras vidas

Ahí está la pared

Eye dialect is great.

Oh seriously, she's a million times better than the guys. She should sing more!

The most weird and wonderful I have ever heard. It doesn't quite beat the youtube video, that I remember about the two Inuits sing in the igloo. The video that I have sadly lost.

Oidupaa Vladimir Oiun- A Thin Mountain Ash "Oidupaa" apparently being the throat singing style.

I've been on a bit of a Sabaton kick lately. Right now I'm on Ruina Imperii (one of the few songs of theirs I've heard in their native Swedish)

Let It Go (from Frozen) in 25 languages. My youth pastor told me about it after he heard me humming the song, so I had to check it out.

See, it super irritates me that now suddenly everyone's going "Oh wow how amazing a Disney song in 25 languages", when people have been making those on Youtube for absolutely years already. But it is a good song.

Marina Maximilian Blumin - Amok baTal (actually from a poem by Leah Goldberg)

ṭene mālē kōkābīm
rēaḥ dəšēˀīm dōbēbīm
ˁāmōq baṭṭal
pōˁēm ləbābī

hinne paˁămēkā qərēbīm

ˁāmōq baṭṭal
pōˁēm ləbābī

A basket full of stars,
the scent of whispering grasses,
deep in the dew
my heart beats.

Your footsteps drawing near
scatter a thousand droplets,
deep in the dew
my heart beats.

'Le Jour de l'An' by La Bolduc. Not too proud, but it's such an earworm.

C´est dans l´temps du jour de l´an
on s´donne la main, on s´embrasse
C´est l´bon temps d´en profiter
ça arrive rien qu´une fois par année

etc.
