@wallhackio For a different song from Korea, look here: youtube.com/watch?v=zR0RjTnkuSA

It's a song from the Squirrel & Hedgehog cartoon, Hedgehog just sacrificed herself to blow up the enemy's military base, the song is dedicated to her

I can try to translate if you'd like

(Note to self: fix my video watching setup and get back to watching Squirrel & Hedgehog)

@wallhackio Some more songs from Squirrel & Hedgehog:

- Let's fortify our hill like an iron wall: youtube.com/watch?v=mg2C2BvDZHk
- The road that I went on myself: youtube.com/watch?v=3d14dfeHD6k
- youtube.com/watch?v=MyF-QPef3ys (English title is inaccurate, literally is "We are little scouts", they're not "boy scouts" (as far as I know what that is?), they're scouts in the military sense, doing reconnoisance and such)

(Wow, English is such an awkward language to translate things into...)

@wallhackio Another Chinese song, plus a cool performance for the 90th anniversary of ... something. I can't read Chinese :blobcatverysad: I definitely should learn to, at some point.

youtube.com/watch?v=cbfo4p9bdU0

Here's another version, without a cool performance, but with English subtitles: youtube.com/watch?v=6UPXGfyp7XE

@wallhackio At this point you're probably tired of military/-adjacent songs, so here's just a nice song about a city so far north that it's beyond the polar circle

@wallhackio "Evening song", about Leningrad (a different city, also relatively far up north, but not that far), by the singer Mark Bernes

@wallhackio Not sure, have you heard this song yet? Con el alma llena de banderas, by Quilapayún, from Chile.

@wallhackio If you haven't heard of Quilapayún, here's them singing about nationalizing the copper: youtube.com/watch?v=oktSWkfcRQs

They also performed this classic, which you probably have heard: youtube.com/watch?v=-_qQj25KaUE

I can't send you a cool song from Yemen, because, as I said, YouTube took the channel down :blobcatsadreach:

@wallhackio A song from the Palestinian resistance (unfortunately I basically don't know Arabic, so I can't translate...): youtube.com/watch?v=SFCdt3xjYJ4

@wallhackio Also Arabic, unfortunately I don't know whose song or the translation of the lyrics... I wish I did, I really like the melody...

@wallhackio It wouldn't be Vaporeon :vaporeon: music thread if I didn't add at least one Pokémon melody: youtube.com/watch?v=85t-XbzRzTA

@wallhackio "At the call of comrade Lenin", which is basically a translation of the famous communist song По долинам и по взгорьям to English & Hindi

youtube.com/watch?v=HGROl-oe9kU

@wallhackio Utho meri duniya, performed by Laal, from Pakistan

The video has English subtitles: youtube.com/watch?v=owHGL8ZG0WI

@wallhackio Here's a catchy Soviet song about the youth flying to the taiga for construction projects: youtube.com/watch?v=cCou_BWKg1A

Modern performance of a song about the mountaineers who fought in the mountains during World War 2: youtube.com/watch?v=uY56sQr8NvA

@wallhackio Iran

🎵
The enemy shall know that we are the roaring wave
We are born of the sea, sons of the storm

(Also a lot of other lyrics, but you know that Vaporeon sees lyrics about the sea and goes "🫵 water")

youtube.com/watch?v=bVfFIUYoosM

@wallhackio Death to America, by Hamed Zamani: youtube.com/watch?v=LXaYxS4IqkI

Another song by the same singer, "What if Khamenei gave orders of jihad?": youtube.com/watch?v=9FkUbetIYd0

@wallhackio I suppose that's enough for now

But if you want more suggestions, just ask, I have a lot more, there are 45 gigabytes in my music directory

@wallhackio Georgian folk song გაფრინდი შავო მერცხალო youtube.com/watch?v=RBahtSW34ak

I do not know Georgian at all, but I found this PDF with a translation on the 2nd page: people.brandeis.edu/~burt/gapr

@wallhackio "I will forever be your son", by the Korean People's Army State Merited Chorus, youtube.com/watch?v=nAcYD2PC0wk

(Let me know if I need to stop sending you music, at this point I'm just sending you what I'm listening to at that moment, I am having fun sharing it with someone, but I have no idea whether you're even still interested)

@wallhackio Understood, will keep them coming :cat_salute:

Here's the song 노들강변 ("Nodul Riverside"), this video has both a performance by Moranbong Band from the north of Korea, and also by Song So Hee from the south: youtube.com/watch?v=7GKh08VbGDc

And here's a much older recording of the same song: youtube.com/watch?v=10s3IUGjMr4

@wallhackio If you're OK with pop music, there's this, "City girl comes to village to get married", youtube.com/watch?v=4VjeuthVOI8

(But also, if you haven't done so yet, do listen to the "Nodul Riverside" song, I think it's really nice)

@wallhackio Another Korean pop song, the song itself is whatever, but the video has some really weird CGI :blobcatmlem:
youtube.com/watch?v=RriEmnNVj88

@wallhackio Here's a song from a film
이 내 마음 나라를 지켜 / My heart, defending the country
youtube.com/watch?v=xaxuqftHQgo

If I had a lot more artistic skills, I would draw the two people from the video as Umbreon & Espeon

@wallhackio Some songs from south Korea, for a change:

반미반전가 / Song against America, against war
youtube.com/watch?v=0dr2G1UeuKo

들어라 양키야 / Listen, Yankee
youtube.com/watch?v=0ZJZFdjpmDA

@wallhackio Here's a song about peasants taking revenge on their landlord, performed by the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble: youtube.com/watch?v=ms87gWtI9Y4

@wallhackio Have you heard this one yet? Might be a well-known song, I'm not sure, but sending it just in case

Tiến Về Sài Gòn / Onward to Saigon

Here's a version with English subtitles: youtube.com/watch?v=LOtdu1on2aI
Here's another (more recent?) performance that I like: youtube.com/watch?v=pR06brbzXoA

@wallhackio There are also these:

Giải phóng Miền Nam / Liberate the South: youtube.com/watch?v=A870-v6ujbI

Mỗi Bước Ta Đi / Every step we take: youtube.com/watch?v=fRZUoaJR5ns

@wallhackio For something completely different, here's a traditional (or at least traditional-style?) music from Mongolia:
The Camel, by Khusugtun, youtube.com/watch?v=Pjqszdpy3BY

Follow

@vaporeon_ three videos recommended here have been removed from YouTube for "violating community guidelines" 💀💀💀

@wallhackio 💀

YouTube hates good music, I guess

Which ones? I maybe can try downscaling them to fit into the (50? 25? not sure) megabytes limit and then sending them to you...

@vaporeon_ i don't remember i'll have to crawl through the thread again
