So last week I was super jealous and wanted post something myself, so here we have a translated Guilty Pleasure Dutch song! This song is by Bloem and is called Even aan mijn moeder vragenwhich translates into something like I will ask my mom.

I will ask my mom

Blonde hair, blue eyes,
Crawled from a fairy tale.
She stood in front go my window,
“A ticket for five gulden,
For the movie of tonight,”
I asked her,
“Why don’t you go with me?”
And this is what she said

“I will ask my mom,”
I swear she said that,
She wasn’t even smiling.
“I will ask my mom,”
That’s so outdated, girl
You can ask me things too.

She looked at me,
And it was done,
As of then,
Everything for a kiss.

You don’t run into that often,
A girl like that deserves everything.
I thought it was extinct,
but I have a date for tomorrow.
She has to be home before twelve,
But I don’t care,
Annemarie.

She only drinks lemonade,
Which I have to get for her.
She doesn’t like cigarette,
She doesn’t appreciate pop music,
Every door, I keep open for her.
I even walk her dog.
Annemarie.

I hope y'all will enjoy this as much as I do. Good luck!

Good luck with this week! I won't participating though because the very very few songs there are on this topic in Greek are very sad and not just silly sad :(

Very sad works! I think hehe

It actually happens to be my mother's 60. birthday today, so of course I have to fulfill the Italian cliché here and submit my cover of this classic cheesy Italian 80's rock hit "Viva La Mamma" by Edoardo Bennato.

good post :)

You're making it hard for me but will join this week. I used to love that song. So happy

Haa, I am looking forward to it!!

Yeah, was just searching for songs and all of them are so damn melodramatic. Now I found one that mentions mother twice...is that good enough for ya @sjennon? :)

Haha definitely! And melodramatic is good too. The more dramatic, silly or funny, the better!

Ok, I know what to do...NO!!! I don't! Jeez...what are you putting me through? lol

Ok I will find some romanian guilty mother's if needed :))

Wohoo!

Anne Marie may only drink lemonade but she's one hell of a sax player 😎

Muwhaha, or really underaged..

I asked her,
“Why don’t you go with me?”
And this is what she said
“I will ask my mom,”
I swear she said that,
She wasn’t even smiling.
“I will ask my mom,”
That’s so outdated, girl
You can ask me things too.

Right she can...
I'm worried about Anne-Marie. Did anyone ever check up on her?

She has to be home before twelve,
But I don’t care,

Uhhhhh....

Love this challenge! I will have something for you soon @sjennon!

Aa, I hope so! Looking forward to your entry!

@sjennon, is it okay that my native language is English? Or am I disqualified for that?

As long as the song is in a different language and you translated it, then it's fine.

No idea yet how to include English speakers to the challenge though. If you have any suggestion, please share! I am all ears :D

Unfortunately, I will have to bow out of this challenge since translating is perhaps impossible for me. I'm not sure how to include English speakers as well.

If I think of something, I will let you know!
Great initiative by the way!

Thanks! Would love to include English speakers, just don't know how :(

Cheers <3

I need to join!!! :)

yesss! Looking forward to your entry!
