No but guys. I'm Dutch and I was just listening to mother mother while trying to fall asleep and all of a sudden I hear someone speaking Dutch and I was so scared it sounded like someone was behind me and it took me a while to realize it was the song...
I'm German but omg I got so confused! The dialect spoken in the area where my family is from is very close to Dutch which is why I can understand it quite well though I can't speak it myself but yeah I got so confused when the Dutch part came on and only realized it's the song after a few seconds xD
The Dutch Poem At The End Means: "When all around you are already lost deem and you just keep the head still above water, when thou mayest expect no more trust and builds only on yourself as upon a rock, if you are patient and emergency and envy can leave If you lied and you will not liegend revenge, if you accept the hate, without self-hating, You do not boast of wisdom, nor of your virtues speak "
"If you accept hate, without self-hating, you do not boast of wisdom, nor of your virtues speak" That's beautiful. Feels very Blake to me. Love it so much.
The Dutch at the end is the first stanza of the poem Als... (If...) by Rudyard Kipling. The translation from the wikipedia page is as follows: If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: As such, the lyrics in the poem seem to reflect the message in the song lyrics quite well, in that both revere taking a skeptical, objective approach to life. Questioning the virtues of the path most taken, while also questioning the virtues of the path you've chosen.
Lyrics :) I stare at the populous in prayer, I look at 'em talking to the air I sing for 'em, they don't seem to hear, I cry for 'em Are they in outer space on a populous parade? Are they in some kind of race that I do not have the legs for? I'm not one to kill joy, but I'm just digging pro-choice Let the mamas run, am I wrong? I saw my mama's inheritance, stone wall unilateral descent Vultures and a piggy in a pen, I cry for 'em Are they all out of touch? Are they touching it too much? Are they on some kind of drug that I haven't done enough of? I'm not one to judge, I just like to make fun of Everybody and their dog, am I wrong? I cry for 'em, I try for 'em, speak my mind for 'em, at the cry forum Are they all out of turn? Are they ever going to learn About the fires that might burn, about the feelings that might hurt me? I'm not one to turn green, but I think I feel envy for the stony ones "Als allen om you heen zich reeds verloren achten En gij alleen de kop nog boven water houdt Als gij van niemand meer vertrouwen moogt verwachten En enkel op Uzelf als op een rotssteen bouwt Als gij geduldig zijt en spoed en nijd kunt laten Als gij belogen wordt en you niet liegend wreekt Als gij de haat aanvaardt, dit zonder zelf te haten U niet op wijsheid roemt, noch van uw deugden spreekt"
omg, it's Dutch... I was listening to this song and then realized that the weird language in the end was my mother language. I think that they should come to the Netherlands to perfom. I bet it would make a lot of people happy! :D
I love the semi-dissonant chords in the beginning, it sounds so good, and really matches the rest of the song. This, No Culture, and The Sticks are probably all my favorites by Mother Mother.
I love the fact that you guys post your own songs online on youtube. This makes me very happy. I will definitely be purchasing your album, and with any luck I'll find someone to go with me to see you guys when you come to Calgary in December. Saw you at Stampede and it was AMAZING. You guys rock. :)
I had part of this stuck in my head and I couldn't remember the song so I went through so many lyrics just to find this. I went through the album Touch Up, Oh My Heart, Very Good Bad Thing, No Culture, & most of The Sticks. I'm so glad I found it ;w;
"When everyone around you already considers themselves lost And you alone are keeping your head above water When you can no longer expect trust from anyone And can only build upon your own foundation... If you are stagnant, and you let go of haste and envy If you are lied to, and do not avenge your own lies. If you accept hatred, without hating yourself You do not boast of wisdom, nor speak of your virtues."
Actually it's Dutch! I was sooo surprised! Thought an add had come up or so.. It kinda sounds like he has a Belgian accent though.. Mother Mother! Hugs from Holland!
Google translate- If all around you are already lost And thou shalt keep the head still above water, If you expect no more trust from anyone And only on yourself as on a Walter Rock Stone builds, If ye are patient and can leave haste and envy, If ye are lied and you are not lying avenges, If ye accept the hatred, without hating yourselves, You do not boast of wisdom, nor speak of your virtues
if everyone around you thinks thinks themselves lost and you're the only one holding your head above the water and you can't expect trust from anyone anymore if you can only build opon yourself like a rockstone if you're patient and can leave emergency and hate behind you. if you're lied to and you do not lie back in revenge if you accept the hatred without hating as well. you do not boast in wisdom nor do you talk about what you did well. thats the last part's translation
"als gij geduldig zijt en spoed en nijd kunt laten," If you can be patient and avoid hurry and envy, "Als gij belogen wordt en U niet liegend wreekt," If you don't avenge being lied to by lying, "als gij de haat aanvaardt, dit zonder zelf te haten," If you accept hate without hating yourself, "U niet op wijsheid roemt, noch van uw deugden spreekt" If you don't prais your wisdom, nor speak of your virtues
ngl i thought the poem at the end was norwegian and then realized i couldnt undestand it, the 1st time i heard this song lol. also its refreshing to see a song criticizing religion openly and unabashedly, never heard an "atheist" song before i found mother mother literally like 8-9 years ago.
"Als allen om U heen zich reeds verloren achten" If everybody around you considers himself lost, "en gij alleen de kop nog boven water houdt," And you are the only one to keep your head above the water, "als gij van niemand meer vertrouwen moogt verwachten" If you can expect nobody to trust you, "en enkel op Uzelf als op een rotssteen bouwt," and build solely on yourself like a rock Think I translated the first part correct? :')
It's about taking a stance against religious bigots while being hurt by the unfairness of their beliefs, I think. The POV character still tries to understand bigoted people while being outraged by their hurtful opinions and envies people who can stay calm in the face of the world's unfairness.
this comment is almost a decade old but ima reply anyway- its cristsing religion and how people will follow it blindly, and use those unsubstantiated beliefs to support bigoted and harmful opinions (ie: the pro-choice line)
@@Rein377 the song is not necessarily about religion, there's all kinds of blinded ideologies out there, it could be talking about egocentric people in general
English translation for the curious: "If all around You are already lost and you only keep the head above water, if you can not expect more confidence from anybody and build only on yourself as on a rock, if you are patient and can leave rush and envy, As you are lied to and do not avenge You lying, if you accept the hatred, this without hating yourself, You do not praise Wisdom, nor speak of your virtues "[by Rudyard Kipling]

same happened to me haha
that happened to me with a panic at the disco song, when the song ends there are some guys talking ... I thought there was someone in my house ;_;
It's weird there's someone talking Dutch at the end...
I'm German but omg I got so confused!

@@SillyConure OMJ and I thought I was the only German knowing this Band- ...so ur from Lower Saxony or so..?
This whole album was basically Mother Mother’s emo phase

And I live for it
The Dutch Poem At The End Means:
"When all around you are already lost deem

beautiful
this english is even to hard for me lol
I'm Dutch ahaha this got me really confused but so happy lol
"If you accept hate, without self-hating, you do not boast of wisdom, nor of your virtues speak"
That's beautiful. Feels very Blake to me. Love it so much.
Do you know what the poem is called?
Just so everyone knows Ryan and Molly are Dutch, and it's why he can speak it.
Kyle James I thought they were Canadian?
@thepastalovers333
they come from the Netherlands, they live in Canada
or so i assume
EMAP Arts | Ethereamoon Cool!
That’s their dad reading the poem
@@chimera-empirearts684 they are Canadian but their dad is Dutch.
This is honestly my favorite Mother Mother song, especially the line “are they on some kind of drug, that I haven’t done enough offfff”
I was listening this song for the first time and when I read this coment the video was playing the same part!!!!

Lyrics :)

Are they in outer space on a populous parade?
Are they in some kind of race that I do not have the legs for?
I'm not one to kill joy, but I'm just digging pro-choice
Let the mamas run, am I wrong?
I saw my mama's inheritance, stone wall unilateral descent
Vultures and a piggy in a pen, I cry for 'em
Are they all out of touch? Are they touching it too much?
Are they on some kind of drug that I haven't done enough of?
I'm not one to judge, I just like to make fun of
Everybody and their dog, am I wrong?
I cry for 'em, I try for 'em, speak my mind for 'em, at the cry forum
Are they all out of turn? Are they ever going to learn
About the fires that might burn, about the feelings that might hurt me?
I'm not one to turn green, but I think I feel envy for the stony ones
"Als allen om you heen zich reeds verloren achten

I am in love with Mother Mother, I really hope they come to the UK, I really want to see them live.
7 years later and i agree, they should come to the uk
@@bugboy69 they are. They're doing two shows in London and one in Glasgow I think.

It's Dutch, I'm Dutch myself and I was kind of shocked when I suddenly heard my native language.

The dutch scared me a bit.
i thought the dutch sounded creepy when i suddenly heard it
i was listening to this with my dad, and we looked at eachother like, THATS OUR LANGUAGE!!! we were so confused lmaoo
This band just keeps getting better and better! Absolutely amazing song writing!!
"When everyone around you already considers themselves lost
And you alone are keeping your head above water
When you can no longer expect trust from anyone

i absolutely love this song
Aaaaahh, man this song absolutely ROCKS
idk, the vocals, the drums, the way everything is put together, omg! I get goosebumps for real
i like this band.
Damn seeing comments from 7/6 years ago is odd but this song is such a fucking bop I love it great song guys!
It doesn't seem weird to me because I watch slenderverse old comments :d
This is defentely my fav MM song. It's so amazing and I don't understand why it's so underrated compared to many other songs y'all made

I WAS LISTENING TO THIS WHEN I SUDDENLY HEARD DUTCH 😭
I LOVE UR SONGS MOTHER MOTHER PLS NOTICE ME ❤️
Dutch, I believe. It's a translation of Rudyard Kipling's poem "If"
if everyone around you thinks thinks themselves lost
and you're the only one holding your head above the water
and you can't expect trust from anyone anymore
if you can only build opon yourself like a rockstone
if you're patient and can leave emergency and hate behind you.
if you're lied to and you do not lie back in revenge
if you accept the hatred without hating as well.
you do not boast in wisdom nor do you talk about what you did well.
thats the last part's translation
I'm here just to say that I love this song and its lyrics. It means a lot to me
Esta canción es muy antigua, es muy encantadora
"als gij geduldig zijt en spoed en nijd kunt laten,"
If you can be patient and avoid hurry and envy,
"Als gij belogen wordt en U niet liegend wreekt,"
If you don't avenge being lied to by lying,
"als gij de haat aanvaardt, dit zonder zelf te haten,"
If you accept hate without hating yourself,
"U niet op wijsheid roemt, noch van uw deugden spreekt"
If you don't prais your wisdom, nor speak of your virtues

i originally found u on earshot charts and i never left u follow u from oh ana..u re a great band
I think I've listened to this song at least 5 times today. Definitely my most favorite band of all time
Having that kind of day where I frantically go from mother mother song to mother mother song
come to nanaimo
"Als allen om U heen zich reeds verloren achten"
If everybody around you considers himself lost,
"en gij alleen de kop nog boven water houdt,"
And you are the only one to keep your head above the water,
"als gij van niemand meer vertrouwen moogt verwachten"
If you can expect nobody to trust you,
"en enkel op Uzelf als op een rotssteen bouwt,"
and build solely on yourself like a rock
Think I translated the first part correct? :')
I found that the spoken dutch at the end comes from the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling. Really good shit. All of it. So good.
Shit this is good.
:) I love this one.
I love mother mother and this song so much ❤️
