Interesting enough, for a non-english (e.g. I and my wife) speaker, my wife thought I was listening to Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall! At first I couldn't connect the two, but then I "changed" my mind to my native language and I can see a lot of similarities in the lyrics too. This was a really weird moment... :) [this video]
