Who could ID this song please? Must be Slavic language

Hey there,

this was misnamed as some "Dutch dialect" on another forum (hence not identified since nobody spoke that mysteriously rare "Dutch dialect" ), later, when I listened myself, I was 99% sure it could either be:

- Croatian
- Slovenian
- Polish
or...
- Serbian
- Czech
- Slovak

"Technically", that plethora of "-onje" / "-anje" words as well as "-owie" words let me think of either Slovenian or Polish
Well I can find some myself meanwhile, but not with that lot of background noise as here, since the languages are VERY alike (as e. g. Danish and Norwegian are in Scandinavian languages)

snippet here:

Thanks in advance

edit Both Croatian and Serbian as well as both Bosnian and Macedonian are now ruled out "candidates"! Hence, one of Czech / Slovak might be it. Polish is unlikely as well, but who knows...

I think I heard "život je" (life is), but I think it is not Serbian/Croatian. Maybe it could be Slovenian, Macedonian, Czech, Polish....??
Good luck!

This is not Serbian/Croatian/Macedonian/Bosnian for sure.

It isn't Dutch!

It kind of reminds me of the tv show Friends, when Phoebe was teaching Joey how to speak french.

It isn't Dutch!

I know that well. (Surely that wasn't been my claim whatsoever.) Some other guy wanted to make us believe it's a little known Flemish dialect (?!?) But since Flemish sounds "quite" like Dutch (more "quite" than Afrikaans at least ) I don't think that either.

Good catch!

Yup, so my first hunch was probably right. *.si or *.pl.
(Well I don't think it's Czech or Slovak, though.)

Good luck!

Thanks!
Thanks guys, and thanks to "teh staff" for moving this out of (virtual) former Yugoslavian territory

I hear "startuju" and also "zivot". It sounds like Slovak to me.

thanks for the info

It would be more useful to tell us where you found this clip, the origin of it would tell us a lot. (it's hard to understand words, like it was recorded on cell phone). It seems to be part of some rock concert or part of an episode happening in a club.
I don't know Dutch, but I think this guy speaks "hard" R and "hard" Slavic vowels.

I could recognize something like:
(beginning) ".. sam i držimo ga,..... (music)... Hej, tako, kaži por qué... dva... (maybe he is using foreign words - Spanish or Russian, for example ( "-inje) at the end of the clip to be "cool", who knows.

found it on another site that (from memory) originally was a ridiculously old forum thread, and AFAICS that forum does no longer exist, so that will be no help.

thanks for the lyrics efforts though, very appreciated

I know it's not your claim, I was only confirming it (I speak Dutch).
I don't think it's Flemish either.
It makes me wonder where that guy's from? Hope he's not dutch hahaha.

Anyways since the link is a snippet, do you have the whole audio file?
Might be easier to find out what language it is...

No, from memory, he was French I think.
French guys are normally different: they put up unknown Dutch song snippets and ruefully admit, they can't understand the lyrics because they "can't read German"

Sorry I only have that clip.

I'm sure this is in Czech.

You are a lucky man - I konw this song very well. It is sung by a Czech not singer, but actor!! Sagvan Tofi, the song´s name is Dávej ber (Give and take).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0X7r...eature=related

It is a music from a czech movie called Kamarád do deště (Friend into rain) from 1988, where the actors in the leading role were Sagvan Tofi and Lukáš Vaculík (he sung the vocals to the song).

Wow! Well, handsome actor.....

You are a lucky man

Yes, because my ears hardly ever fail me.
I was 100% sure that it must be a Slavic language, since I knew how these sound (even though I might not be able to name the actual language used, but once you got the right direction, things get a lot easier)

THIS IS FANTASTIC!! *jumps*

Love ya Chobot!
Someone else is gonna be very happy too now

** SOLVED **

*@moderator* I suggest to have this moved to Czech/Slovak sub-forum now.

It's a Czech song.....Davej ber by Sagvan Tofi
Až doteďka jsi byl jen samá bota,
teď dostáváš se sám už do života,
pojď, otevřem a jdem do jeho dveří,
tak vystartuj a vlítnem tam!

Už neváhej, tak pojď a zmáčkni kliku
a v životě my dva jsme v okamžiku,
tak zabouchej jen víc, tak zakřič na něj:
Ten za dveřma jsem já, jsem já!

Dávej, ber, dávej, co máš, co můžeš,
dávej, ber, třeba se svlíkni z kůže,
dávej, ber, nedělej fóry,
no tak dávej, tak dávej!

Na ten život už dýl ve frontě stojíš,
jsi nabitej, tak co, tak co se bojíš,
vem za kliku a vstup a zakřič na něj:
Ten za dveřma jsem já, jsem já!

Dávej, ber, dávej, co máš, co můžeš,
dávej, ber, třeba se svlíkni z kůže,
dávej, ber, nedělej fóry,
no tak dávej, tak dávej!

Dávej, ber, dávej, co máš, co můžeš,
dávej, ber, třeba se svlíkni z kůže,
dávej, ber, nedělej fóry,
no tak dávej, tak dávej!

Dávej, ber, dávej, co máš, co můžeš,
dávej, ber, třeba se svlíkni z kůže,
dávej, ber, nedělej fóry,
no tak dávej, tak dávej!
