This song has a special story:

Son ar chistr ("The song of the cider" in the Breton language, "Ev Chistr ’ta Laou!" originally) is a traditional song of Brittany, whose words in Breton were written in 1929 by two Morbihan teenagers Jean Bernard and Jean-Marie Prima. The melody became known by the interpretation of the famous Breton singer Alan Stivell in the 1970s and in 1977 by the Dutch band Bots under the name "Zeven dagen lang".

The dutch band "Bots" became very famous in Germany over night after they played this song at a festival against right-wing extremism. It became the hymn of the peace movement in Germany.

So, Maxim and I grew up with this songs while the first green parties entered the parliaments all over Europe and our child rooms became nuclear weapon-free zones.

The english translation of the lyrics:

https://lyricstranslate.com/de/Was-wollen-wir-trinken-Was-wollen-wir-trinken.html

What do we want to drink for seven days long?
What do we want to drink for such a thirst.

There will be enough for everyone!
We drink together, roll the barrel inside here (to roll into a room)
We drink together, not alone!

Then we want to work seven days long.
Then we want to come give a hand.

And it becomes no drudgery!
We work together seven days long.
Yes, work together, not alone!

Now we have to struggle no one knows how long.
Yes, for a life without bondage.

Then the frustration catches us no longer small.
We hold together, no one fights alone!
We go together not alone.

You two sound pretty cool together. I like that strong marching beat behind you too. Nice song. We drink together, work together, and go together struggling for a life without bondage.

Divas, Dudes,

thank you for all of your kind words. Maxim and I had a lot of fun to do this traditional european song. And I think that I can speak for both of us: we like the message of the song. Don't we, Maxim?
