Hey, in the last one I recognize the voice of the Dutch singer (Herman van Veen)!

Herman van Veen Ik ben vandaag zo vrolijk

A few were not available in my country, but it’s great to see some nostalgia from back then. I used to watch Tao Tao in German, I’m not even sure there was a Dutch version …
I never heard of Lady Oscar though …

I noticed the German version of Nils Holgersson has less lyrics than the Dutch one. Where we have a sung verse, the German version is for a large part instrumental. This is the Swedish version:

Swedish introduction to Nils Holgersson (with Lyrics)

And the Finnish version:

Kati - PEUKALOISEN RETKET (1984)

Postman Dutch (pieter post)

Troetelbeertjes - Intro 1 [NL]

Candy Candy in several languages (aber leider kein Deutsch )

Was sind die meisten süß und witzig… Niedlich

[ajumma2]

I didn’t realize they kept the same Candy Candy song in many different languages! The Korean version that’s they sang here isn’t the original version as they changed the lyrics slightly later on.

Here’s the original Korean version.

Freggels Intro Dutch

[frustratedwriter]

[mirjam_465]

Heel goed! ( = Very good!)

[frustratedwriter]

[sonmachinima]

Thank you, I didn’t know that VIKI has it

It’s worth watching even though it is old.

We love the song translations in this household. They add depth to the story in most cases I understand that some feels it gets in the way of the spoken word. Why not put them in the top of the screen when it’s during conversation?

[oriya]

That’s not (yet) possible to do in the subtitle editor. Would be a nice idea though, also for explaining cultural references.

[frustratedwriter]

well I am watching a drama, and with what you said, on every picture a song at the bottom, you are so right!

[jobeer]

I agree that song lyrics can clutter up the screen but personally, I like the lyrics translated as I feel it gives more meaning to the drama or a particular scene.
