I have no idea. If I had to guess it probably means something completely different in Japanese, Sweden has exported light pop and Schlager to Japan for decades and they rarely care about the original meaning of the lyrics.

One famous example is 'Carameldansen' (literally 'The Caramel Dance') that sounds like 'Yummy, Nice Dance' or 'Yummy Horse Dance' in Japanese.

They further misinterpreted the lyrics "Dance with us, clap your hands" as "I don't want any Balsamic vinegar after all".

I know three very excited girls who are over the moon to be given such highbrow treatment in a Melfest thread

THREE HOURS LEFT

 

[Penelope]

is everyone else still feeling young

 

[Lucille]

I feel 100 years old.

 

[Penelope]

I feel 100 years old.

We'll be reporting live from Lucille later to see how much younger he feels after hearing the clip of 'Still Young'! Back to you in the studio Suomi

 

[Penelope]

Hearing live reports that there AIN'T no protocol in lower Stockholm and select parts of the United Kingdom (60 DEAD)

 

[Penelope]

TWO HOURS!

 

[Alla]

It's going to be a long morning

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

"simple and effective pop for rural Sweden" ie MUSIC FOR PEASANTS!

 

[Penelope]

Ninety minutes

 

[Penelope]

Does everyone remember the first time they heard Hero

 

[Suomi]

Does everyone remember the first time they heard Hero

yes i distinctly remember the one minute preview because my brother was sat behind me playing a game and hadn’t reacted to the other 7 songs and when it came to Hero he just casually muttered “that’s the winner”

Of course I didn’t really register it as I lay shaking

 

[ButterTart]

Does everyone remember the first time they heard Hero

I remember the firework display Suomi held to celebrate it, because it was in my living room and I was pleading with him to stop.

 

[ButterTart]

65 minutes

If you’re not sure how long away that is, just imagine listening to Charlotte Perrelli’s ‘Still Young’ 21 and a half times.

I was 16 and on a train from King's Cross to Darlington in late March and I had only heard a couple of the songs that year before that point. I started playing the songs of Eurovision 2008 and took my seat. I enjoyed Qele Qele and thought "yes, this feels like the song that might win". O julissi na jalini happened and I was amused, taken by its whimsy ("look at these Belgians still wasting money on flights to only take part in the semi finals!"). DJ Take Me Away played and I suddenly had a vision of my future life, older, in the club, rejecting suitors while I danced chicly with elegance to the Bulgarian Eurovision entry that year (I later managed to recreate this scene in Lisbon to Sofi Marinova - Love Unlimited).

Then Charlotte Perrelli - Hero started playing and I was caught, rapt by the urgency of the intro and the verses. The chorus began and I (no word of a lie) began gasping at how good it was. The Serbian man sat next to me asked if everything was alright (I knew he was Serbian because he had been speaking Serbian). I said it was but I really meant it was not. My life had just been changed - forever more it would be divided into BC (Before Charlotte) and AD (After Charlotte (sp?)). I went to the train toilet and listened to the song on repeat for the next hour until the ticket conductor made me come out because he thought I was trying to hide and didn't have a ticket. When I got back to my seat the Serbian man began to flirt with me and then we went to the toilet and had sex and then got married

 

[Penelope]

Anyway that's how Charlotte Perrelli - Hero changed my life

 

[Suomi]

Yeah I was 16 too

 

[Penelope]

Yeah I was 16 too

And even now I'm still young!

 

[Lucille]

#stillhung

 

[Penelope]

ONE HOUR LEFT UNTIL I GO FAST

 

[Alla]

Oh Penny hold my hand babe

 

[ButterTart]

65 minutes

If you’re not sure how long away that is, just imagine listening to Charlotte Perrelli’s ‘Still Young’ 21 and a half times.

It’s been SIX HOURS since I posted this and somehow there are still 35 minutes to go.

 

[rhythmbandit]

I'm on the edge of my seat!

 

[Penelope]

In what ways does everyone think their lives will change when the clip is out in 23 minutes

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I think I will attain enlightenment and no longer require the need for physical form.

 

[Alla]

In what ways does everyone think their lives will change when the clip is out in 23 minutes

I'm going back to school with Soldi. #stillyoung

 

[Lucille]

I’m going to regress to the age of 16, with a spanking tight hole, no interest in drugs, and a LUST FOR LIVING.

 

[Lucille]

I can already feel/hear my hole tightening and shedding hair.

 

[Alla]

I already wrote BETTER THAN EUPHORIA and I can't wait to press POST REPLY.

 

[Lucille]

Loreen found shaking and this time it’s not because she’s withdrawing from drugs.

 

[COB]

[RJN]

When can we hear this? I don't want to accidentally get old first

 

[ZenGiraffe]

10 minutes!

 

[Lucille]

Me in 10 minutes.

 

[ButterTart]

In what ways does everyone think their lives will change when the clip is out in 23 minutes

I’m going to feel a bit sad and toast the memory of my many good gay friends on Moopy who died of massive euphoria strokes 30 seconds into the clip.

 

[Penelope]

I feel like shit Penelope

In just ten minutes we'll be turning this wizened old baked potato into a young fresh grape! Stick with us after the break and we'll show you how

 

[Penelope]

Actually should I make myself a gin and tonic now
