What is your favourite song in another language?

Ana Maradun (warning: DARE propaganda) and Daani Shauqun by Mosa Alomairah (couldn’t find English lyrics for the latter, which is a shame because they’re really pretty). This guy in general is really talented, though as with all Arabic acapella the choice of songs can be pretty bad sometimes. This is also his post-reset persona; he also has some bangers from his radical Islamist phase.

It’s not my favorite music, but a friend of mine recently passed away and I can’t get this music out of my head because we played it at his goodbye party when he went to live in another city. It’s in Portuguese and a music about goodbyes: Matanza - Tempo Ruim some rough translation below for those who don’t speak Portuguese:

Raise up your glasses for those about to leave

Long will be the road to follow

Nothing will be like it used to be, nothing will be easy for you

Don’t do the same that your father did

Don’t bring weapons where you’re going

So many I’ve seen paying to see, they didn’t had time to regret it.

Nothing you shouldn’t already know, there’s nothing you can’t have.

I wish the road always comes to you, and that the wind be ever in your favor. I wish you always have a beer on your hand and that you have your great love by your side.

I say goodbye to all of you, many here I will not see again.

Besides the winter and bad weather I don’t know what awaits me

But it doesn’t matter what it might be if some day I have someone to say:

I wish the road always comes to you, and that the wind be ever in your favor. I wish you always have a beer on your hand and that you have your great love by your side.
