the appropriate place


Just in time for the Romanian elections, "Guess Who" has released the single ("anu' 2000/ year 2000" aka "locul potrivit/the appropriate place") and I adore it. I love the lyrics, the beat, the kids' voices in the beginning (reminiscent of the cartoons of my childhood). Well done!

Wow, I really enjoyed that. =)

I am glad you did!

It's actually quite satirical, because Romania is in the middle of elections right now. Also, the song sampled in the beginning is an old communist propagandistic song...

Very good! Love the sound of the language, romanian sounds beautiful. Pitty I don't understand the satirical lyrics, I like satirical lyrics a lot.

He says "we weren't born in the appropriate place"/"We were born in the wrong place".
