Now, this is totally amazing but also really unexpected. I loved "Frankfurt Oder" when it came out here in Germany and thought the lyrics and song where just genius. A few years later, I heard the version by Bløf accidentally on Dutch radio while I was driving. The concept of the garden pavilion had been transformed to a beach house and Frankfurt Oder became Zoutelande. Really clever because it wasn't a simple 1:1 translation of the words but instead the whole melancholic idea and meaning had been carried over into Dutch. I would have never ever expected to hear this very European song from a US band. Congrats to discovering this gem! Wow, can't believe I'm now following this song through 3 different languages over the years.

BEAUTIFUL version produced by Pomplamoose. In reference to lyrics to this English translation of Zoutelande as shown in video description, here are the original lyrics (song by BLØF).
There's nothing better than braving the cold with you
There are people who emigrate to warm countries
But we have no money in our cold hands
So let's go to your parents in Zoutelande
In Zoutelande
And then we are here in the old beach house
What you say keeps me sober and warm
Above my head I see the gray clouds
I'm glad you're here, glad you're here
We are here in the rickety beach house
I never cared where we were anyway
We're drowning ourselves in your father's drink
I'm glad you're here, glad you're here
Nothing is more beautiful than crossing the country with you
In gloomy places to have you with me
And to see that it's right, see that we're fizzing
And with vodka and with bucking between life belts
And then we are here in the old beach house
What you say keeps me sober and warm
Above my head I see the gray clouds
I'm glad you're here, glad you're here
We are here in the rickety beach house
I never cared where we were anyway
We're drowning ourselves in your father's drink
I'm glad you're here, glad you're here
I'm glad you're here
I'm glad you're here
I'm glad you're here
I'm glad you're here
And then we are here in the old beach house
What you say keeps me sober and warm
Above my head I see the gray clouds
I'm glad you're here, glad you're here
I'm glad you're here
I'm glad you're here
I'm glad you're here
We are here in the rickety beach house
I never cared where we were anyway
We're drowning ourselves in your father's drink
I'm glad you're here, glad you're here
In Zoutelande
