Due to the recent political news.
For anyone who feels fear, insecurity, uncertainty about the future.

Alai Oli - Искры (sparks)

Spoiler: "original lyrics" • show

Видела тут Кенни Аркану в клубе,
Она не из тех, кто сверкает частями тела,
В зале много тех, кто ищет глазами,
Но ей нужен тот, кто любит за дело.
Намотала мокрый шарф от пыли и дыма,
Кеды помнят короткие пути,
Если придется бежать – район ее спрячет
От серой живой лавины.

Жги!
Ведь у тебя есть право, свобода слова,
И прежде, чем забрать этот голос
Огромная машина - государство
Сломается об твою чистую совесть.
Жги!
Ведь у тебя есть право, свобода слова,
И прежде, чем забрать этот голос
Огромная машина - государство
Сломается об твою чистую совесть

Молодые и злые, я видела искры
Над Москвой и Минском,
В этих глазах вопрос :
"Я хочу справедливости, права выбирать,
Но от них не дождешься чистой игры!"
Асфальт уже плавится под подошвами,
Темные годы когда-нибудь останутся в прошлом –
Никто не заберет моей свободы.

Жги!
Ведь у тебя есть право, свобода слова,
И прежде, чем забрать этот голос
Огромная машина - государство
Сломается об твою чистую совесть.
Жги!

В этих глазах вопрос :
"Я хочу справедливости, права выбирать,
Но от них не дождешься чистой игры!"
Асфальт уже плавится под подошвами,
Темные годы когда-нибудь останутся в прошлом –
Никто не заберет моей свободы.

I saw here Kenny Arkan in the club,
She's not one of those who likes to show their bodies,
In the hall a lot of people who are looking for eyes,
But she needs someone who'll love for actions.
Reeled up a wet scarf to be protected from dust and smoke,
Sneakers remember a short ways,
If it's necessary to run and hide - the neighborhood will hide you
From a gray and live avalanche.

Burn!
Because you have the right of freedom voting,
And before usurp this vote
The huge machine - government -
Will break on your clean conscience.
Burn!
Because you have the right of freedom voting,
And before usurp this vote
The huge machine - government -
Will break on your clean conscience.

Young and angry, I saw sparks
Over Moscow and Minsk,
I see a question in these eyes:
"I want justice, the right of choice,
But you won't wait a clear game from them!"
Asphalt has melted under soles,
Someday dark times will be left in the past -
Nobody will be able to take away my freedom.

Burn!
Because you have the right of freedom voting,
And before usurp this vote
The huge machine - government -
Will break on your clean conscience.

Here is a recent Polish song of which I am really fond. Sung by two well-known singers, it's about the current political situation (the artists' kind of protest against xenophoby and being impervious to others' suffering, as I understand it). It's also rather unique, since despite its serious, unpleasant subject, it is sung like a lullaby, and called a carol (as it was published a few days before Christmas).
 

One of the reasons why I like it so much, is the way it's sung. And I love how it's full of Polish sounds („Gdzie się Bóg nie trwoży trwogą / Bo cóż trwogi Bogom mogą” at 1:39 is simply great). And because I agree with its word, of course.

Hej!
about Russian music here already said, but I will say some more
In General, it is difficult to identify any contemporary music that could show Russia and which would be listened to and knew everything. We have popular music, but in my opinion, she's horrible, and the rest of the music has a small audience, but it is much better than popular.

Also popular songs from old movies and war songs (sometimes combined)

This song is from the film about the war, but they sing about love

/>
This song is from the Christmas movie, it is that the world is always young, because he is the same age as you

/>
I listen to mostly folk-rock or dream-folk. Russian and Ukrainian.

I have a favorite band. She sings in English, but its founders came from Ukraine. A soloist performed at several festivals in the UK and said that after this song to her at the bar, people came up and shook hands. It is also about love. This song is about a magician who has protected their home and the bride from evil with magic circle and now goes home. He asks his bride to stay inside the circle because the circle will protect her.

/>
in comparison with Russia, Ukraine has a very good pop music and sometimes it is mixed with folk-inspired melodies. For example, the song "Rime"

/>
Sorry so much, I don't know how to hide it

So for french music :

Alain Bashung - La nuit Je mens. The song has very cryptic lyrics, but apprently it's about the Resistance during WW2 for the last theories I've heard/

Dionysos - L'Homme sans trucage (feat Jean Rochefort  :'( ). The whole album La Mécanique du Coeur is really good, and tell the story of a kid named Jack who is born with a frozen heart, working with a clockwork system. The whole album is about his life. It's very funny and in the same time tragic.

Giédré - Titre. Fan of very dark humor and sometimes quite trash topic, Giédré is for you. This one is a soft one :3.

Bigflo & Oli - Je suis. A very nice exemple of rap, and the lyrics are just making shiver because it's taking you to the feeeeeeeels.

Enjoy :D

One of my favourite Swedish-language albums this year is Pelle Ossler's Evig himmelsk fullkomning (Eternal Heavenly Perfection). Dark, distorted and sad. This song, "Helsingborg", is about his hometown - previously a busy port before they built the (familiar to everyone here) Öresund bridge.

Jag såg dig där vid järnvägsspåren bakom färjestation
Diesel, järn, hav och tång
Det var långt innan de byggde och sen stängde bron

I saw you there by the railroad tracks behind the ferry station
Diesel, iron, ocean and seaweed
It was many years before they built and then closed the bridge

Oh wow, this thread is just perfect for me! Folk music is my favourite, and I also have a few songs in my language up my sleeve. If there's something Polish people are good at, it's definitely indie and folk.

/>
Mikromusic - Matka Teresa
In my opinion this song shows very well the Polish language, and also makes it sound beautiful. I really love the sound of the chorus:

"Dolej mi wiśniówki,
Sercu daj wykrwawić,
A ja cię przytulę,
Dolej, dolej, dolej"

Aside from this song, my second favourite from this band is most definitely "Piękny Chłop":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c22iAopaFIM

Mikromusic, The Dumplings and Bitamina are some of my favourite contemporary artists. They're not very popular, but in my opinion definitely worth a listen. Many artists nowadays like to put a folk-ish vibe to their songs, which I'm personally very happy about.

Now onto the folk stuff, my favourite are definitely the CDs of my mom's folk dance and sing group (she even taught me some of the songs!), they're sung in the classical, very accurate way. Sadly, they were not uploaded to youtube. But we have Laboratorium Pieśni - a group of Polish women who sing traditional songs from various slavic countries, such as Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Serbia, or even Bosnia. Goosebumps guaranteed:
/>
"Koło mego ogródecka"

Here's a song from Bosnia called "Rosna livada". Definitely one of the most emotional experiences.
/>

They also did a splendid cover of the Finnish song "Käppee"
/>
Apart from them, I can also recommend groups like Panivalkova (marvellous Ukrainian trio), Werchowyna, Żywiołak, Othalan, Joryj Kłoc and TULIA - the girls responsible for this fantastic folk cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the silence":

In the Northeastern region of Brazil we have our own folk songs, and no other comes close to being as important as Asa Branca, composed by the late Luiz Gonzaga together with Humberto Teixeira.
To this day you will find people covering the song, and I doubt that there's any Northeasterner alive that doesn't know about this song or Luiz Gonzaga himself. Our folk music is actually its own genre still going (despite not as beatiful as once was) and still a big piece in Northeasterner culture.
Brazil is quite weird, since its so big, most regions have their own cultural backgrounds, folklore and even dialects.

woah lmao well i don't really know, but i like to translate the Song "Imagine" by John Lennon into Filipino (which is my language by the way) it's just the song is so meaningful and i hope i can get the same "meaningful" effect when i translate it.

and honestly, take a look at the lyrics.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

And this is my favorite part  :D

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

so yeah, lmao

One of my favorite movies of all time is Song of the Sea, so here's a song from that film, Amhrán Na Farraige (with the Irish and an English translation):
