    Default NORWEGIAN members, please listen :) Orig: Song in unknown European language

    Hi everyone,
    I am searching for a song I once recorded from Medium Wave/AM Radio in Germany.
    It wasn't a German radio station, but probably one from the East or South East of Europe with a language I do not understand. So it's not a Western European language like German, Englisch, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch etc. During nights it is possible to receive radio stations from countries like Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia and so on - therefore there's a large amount of languages this could be.

    Even if no one knows the song I would be happy to know what language this is.
    Here's a sample of the song and also some talking from the radio presenter, so that someone is possibly able to identify the language a bit better.

    Song is directly streamed - You can listen to it without downloading anything.

    Any help appreciated.

    That's Swedish.
    I will copy your thread now to Nordic Languages subforum, as there are your chances much better, to get answered.
    So, if anyone knows this song, please contribute.

    Oh, really... Swedish?
    I listen to a couple of Swedish bands singing English and during and after concerts of them I regulary heard them talk in their native language and I though it sounded different to this. Therefore I didn't shortlist that one.
    But I remember that Radio Sweden was sometimes receivable here by that time.

    Thanks a lot.

    I could always be wrong, but the words there, like "mamma", "och", pappa", "som", "brista" etc sound swedish for me.

    This is actually Norwegian. I've never heard this song before, but it seems to be a childrens song. It's about a zebra called Line, and she has lost her stripes... I tried to find information about this song on Norwegian sites, but unfortunately without any luck...

    Ok, I tried to write down the llyrics for the song, but there are some words I can't figure out because of the bad quality..

    Jeg skulle bar dukke ned å hente meg en sebra-sokk
    Men da jeg åpnet kisten forsvant de som besatt.
    Hundre tusen gull.... (?) som jeg skulle bli rik av,
    og selge til skogens King Kong katt

    Ref.(x2)
    Å oj, oj, oj, oj, oj, oj, oj
    Grine og pine
    Hvor har det blitt av stripene mine?

    å hulk, å hulk, å hulk, hulk, hulk

    Kanskje et troll med en kjempelang tunge
    har sebrastriper til middag i dag.
    Kanskje en heks som bor ned i vannet,
    har tryllet meg dit som et kjøleskap.

    Ref. (x2)

    Å hulk, å hulk, å hulk, hulk, hulk

    Hvor har det blitt av mammaen min?
    Og hvor har det blitt av pappaen min?
    Og hvor har det blitt av broren min?
    Og hvor har det blitt av meg?
    Hvor har det blitt av stripene mine
    som mangler (?) nedover kroppen min?

    Og hvor har det blitt av?
    Og hvor har det blitt av?
    Å huff og huffa meg.

    Hey lja055, thank you very much.
    Thumbs up for writing down the lyrics.


    By the way... does Line get her stripes back in the end?
