Hello everyone!

Me and my sister-in-law are making a Spotify playlist and trying to put 1 song from each country in the world. I’m starting with european countries (aside from the ones I already knew), and would really appreciate your help!

**What are we looking for?**

Preferably a song not in English, and that really captures the feeling of your country’s music.

Also, I invite everyone to list my country (Brazil) song! I’m the one who chose it, it’s called [Águas de Março – Tom Jobim](https://open.spotify.com/track/1y7OxO5i6sfrHXAmUM77YG?si=4895e1f47e00497a)

**What countries are already in the playlist?**

So far we have:

* Brazil

* Finland

* Sweden

* Denmark

* Belgium

* Germany

* Switzerland

* Austria

* Italy

* France

* Luxembourg

* Portugal

* Slovakia

* Ireland

* Poland

* Czech Republic

* Slovenia

* Hungary

* Romania

* Serbia

* Croatia

* Montenegro

* Bosnia and Herzegovina

* Greece

* Macedonia

* Bulgaria

* Albania

* Faroe Islands*

* Japan*

* Mexico*

* Norway*

* Pakistan*

* San marino*

(ps. The ones with * we put there before starting asking here on reddit, and will probably change once we ask the proper community.)

Thank you and we hope you can contribute to this project 🙂

  1. Hi, I would say Līvi – Dzimtā valodā, if you are looking for a patriotic song. If you are looking for something that latvians like to sing and dance to, then Līvi – Zīlīte or Metronoms – Nāk Nakts.

    Edit: Also maybe something by Pērkons or Prāta Vētra

  4. Prāta Vētra – Mana dziesma
    Fēliks Ķiģelis – Vējā

    Edit: the other suggestions are great too!

  10. Līvi – Dzimtā valoda

    **English translation**

    Mother tongue

    ​

    In one language all the people cry,

    In one language, in one language they laugh

    Only the mother tongue erases pain

    Gives happy songs, gives them to the world

    ​

    Our mother is in our mother tongue

    Wine is even sweeter in our mother tongue

    Laugh to yourself in your mother tongue

    ​

    When you shall no longer be able to sing or to cry

    When you shall no longer be able to do anything

    With the sky and the earth you shall be silent

    That silence will be in your mother tongue

    ​

    Our mother is in our mother tongue

    Wine is even sweeter in our mother tongue

    Laugh to yourself in your mother tongue
