Falalalan

[Fantaisie]

Not seriously. But yes. The same way we like Trololo guy.

I like it, seriously.

 

[Jolt]

This should be in Europa Universalis IV. It is simply the most popular Europa Universalis of all of the games. It needs to be back in.

 

[Mrdie]

Scientific studies link the presence of Falalalan to greater sales, better determination to play EU, and an increased sex drive.

Unfortunately said studies originate from the Workers' Party of Korea, but we can't all be perfect.

Oh look, it's THIS thread again. About as funny as the "is this CK2" one... :wacko:

That said, with the way Paradox games handle music, I wouldn't actually care if this was in... But that's because I know individual tracks can be deleted. I'd expect quite a few "wtf is this crap" threads after release if it got in.

 

[CaptRobau]

Andreas Waldetoft should make his own version of this.

Happy to see far more people are in favor of Falalalan then not knowing that they secretly love Falalalan. I think we should post some lyrics:

Falalalan, falalalera,
De la guerda riera

Quando yo me uengo
De guardar ganado
Todos me lo dizen
Pedro el desposado.
A la he, si soy,
Con la hija de nostramo,
Questa sortiguela
Ella me la diera.

Falalalan, falalalera,
De la guerda riera

Alla rriba, rriba
En ual de roncales,
Tengo yo mi esca
Y mis pedernales
Y mi curroncito
De cieruos cieruales,
Hago yo mi lumbre
Sientome doquiera.

Falalalan, falalalera,
De la guerda riera

Viene la quaresma,
Yo no como nada,
Ni como sardina,
Ni cosa salada,
De quanto yo quiero
No se haze nada,
Migas con azeyte,
Hazenme dentera

Falalalan, falalalera,
De la guerda riera

 

[Buladelu]

Let's hear what Google Translate says on the matter.

Falalalan, falalalera,
From Guerda laugh

I Quando uengo
From save livestock
All they say to me
Pedro the bridegroom.
For I, if I am,
Nostromo's daughter,
Questa sortiguela
She gave it to me.

Falalalan, falalalera,
From Guerda laugh

Alla rriba, rriba
In Roncales ual,
I have my scale I
And my flints
And my curroncito
From cieruos cieruales,
I do my fire
Sientome everywhere.

Falalalan, falalalera,
From Guerda laugh

Come quaresma,
I do not eat anything,
Not like sardines,
Neither salt thing,
From quanto I want
No haze anything,
Migas with azeyte,
Hazenme dentera

Falalalan, falalalera,
From Guerda laugh

That is... Creepy. Sounds like some mad elder gods cultist talking about our inevitable doom.

There's a thread that has an English translation.

It's also where I got the original lyrics.

 

[Wallain]

Andreas Waldetoft should make his own version of this.

Andreas should personally sing it.

 

[verdantfang]

Sweet mother of god I'm speechless. First time I heard this was when my dad played EU2 when I was roughly 4 and I would watch him and distinctly remember this song even at the age of 14.
MUST PUT IN GAME I DEMAND IT!

 

[rossBurglar]

I think each country should have their own version of Falalalan.

+several

Hearing this song again makes me want to re-buy EU2. Seriously.

 

[Stauffenberg13]

The most awesome piece of music in Europa Universalis, by far!!!

 

[Stauffenberg13]

Of course it should be in EUIV, it should be in all Paradox games.
In fact, in should be in all games. Just imagine the awesomeness that would be a FPS with Falalalan as its main battle theme.

Yes, yes, and a thousand times yes!

 

[Fawr]

IMO they couldn't call it a continuation of the EU series if they did away with falalalan

 

[unmerged(463347)]

What a refreshing idea

 

[dublish]

This thread should be pollified.

 

[TankHunter]

EU4 would not be complete without it. Bring back the classics!

 

[GrafKeks]

Carmina Burana isn't dramatic when you're a latin speaking monk and can understand the silly lyrics.

What are you talking about you can´t compare them. Carmina Burana is epic, if you know Latin or not. Whereas Falalalan is quite weird translated.

Either way,

I support this motion

 

[Julius 85]

OK, there is something to the song. And btw I actually played EU2 when I was like 12 (lol), but I didn't remember this.
