its a song for his parents,his dad past away when joost was12,one year later his mom past away. he used to watch eurovision with his parents and dreamed to be on stage one day ,now he made it .the end says everythingabout the whole song.😊

Last night Joost explained on tv that this is a letter to his dad Seen all kinds of reactions what the song is about. In Dutch we say Europa. But it's about his dad, we say papa in Dutch to our dads. It's a letter to his dad, who taught him human made boundaries, but there are no bounderies. In the lyrics you can hear him searching for his father throughout Europe, but he can't find him, he wants help but no one helps him. He referes to Stromea's song Papaoutuai whichs means Dad where are you? When Joost was 12 his 'father died of cancer, tragically his mother passed a way a year later of a heartattack. He was an orphan at 13 years old. Very traumatising for anyone! So figurlarly his house burned down when they passed away. He was raised by his brother and he hopes this song is a goodbye to the pain and grief he still feels for his parents.

In dutch europa means europe. And papa means dad. His dad past away and he always said that europe has no borders and this song is a road through different european countries.

Love ❤this song. 12 points for The Netherlands. Its happy and sad at the same time. ❤

In the lyrics, you can hear him say when he talks german. He say Iam in Deutsland but im so lonely. Like he says he mis his father. Then he says in italian. Im in italy But its still hurts referring that his father that coudnt be there. Its a deep song.Srry for my bad Englisch

Joost Klein dedicated this song to his father, who died when he was 12 years old due to cancer. His dad taught him that the world has no actual boundaries. His mother died a year later, when he was 13, due to cardiac arrest. Before his dad passed, Joost was already writing all kinds of stuff and promised one day he was going to go to Eurovision. He has gone through so many challenges in life, and it is a true inspiration to see how he deals with them. michael jackson feels like a thriller song

The story is about his father’s that past away when he was 12 and a year later his mom and it’s about the advice his father gave him and to make him proud and that he misses them

Pappa means dad in Dutch❤ so Euro-pappa

Joost is known for his happy sounding songs, but with some great emotional lyrisch. He made a song called wachtmuziek, which sounds super catchy and dance music. But he is really singing about the problem you have with reachting out for help when you have mental problems. How youre put on a waiting list, and how you dont get the help you needed

12 point to the netherlands🇳🇱🔥🎉

If you really listen to the lyrics, it is clearly an ode to his parents who passed away when he was a child and talking about him running away from his pain without success. Europapa means 'Euro daddy' of course, but also: 'fortunately I don't need a visa to be with you' 'I've lost everything except time' 'I'm in Germany but I'm so alone' (in German) 'I'm in Italy but it still hurts' 'I'm running from myself, crying for help all day long. I even give money to people but there is no one to help me' 'Turn on the radio, hear Stromae with Papaoutai ( which means Daddy, where are you? in French) 'My father once told me: it is a world without borders. I miss you every day is what I secretly whisper. See, dad, I listened to you' So basically: wherever he goes, the sadness goes with him. And then that burning house at the end symbolizes the message to oneself of having to let go of that sadness and old memories in order to move on

Papa is dad in the Netherlands

Dutch children are singing this day and night... making parents totally crazy ... haha....

Check out the live version from Tilburg ❤

JOOST KLEIN 1983!!!

J00ST KLEIN DR00M GR00T!

(Background story of the song) This is what Joost Klein wants to convey with this song: “'Europapa' is a tribute to my father. The song is a letter I wrote to my father, who died when I was a teenager." 'Europapa' is about an orphan who travels throughout Europe (and surrounding areas) to find himself and tell his story. My father gave me a broad view of the world. Boundaries are made by people, but my father told me that you can also set boundaries yourself by thinking out of the box. At first people didn't know me, but I continue to take every opportunity to show myself. When people see my act, the first response should be, “What's going on here?” and then at the end it touches people and makes them think. 'Europapa' initially seems like a very cheerful act, but once behind that lies a deeper message. (Background info from Joost Klein) Joost Klein (26) comes from the province of Fryslân in the Netherlands. Joost, is a Dutch musician, rapper, singer and former KZfaqr. He is primarily a hip-hop artist and his songs and performances often include influences from electronic music, such as drum 'n' bass, hardstyle and gabber. Joost also writes poetry At the age of twelve he lost his father to cancer. A year later, in 2011, his mother died of cardiac arrest. After the death of his parents, Joost was cared for by his older brother and sister {Sorry, this is being translated using Google Translate}

He is Frsian like me...papa means dad

The clip has english subtitles that will help a lot!

{Ne pare rău, l-am tradus cu Google Translate} (Povestea de fundal a melodiei) Iată ce vrea să transmită Joost Klein cu această melodie: „'Europapa' este un tribut adus tatălui meu. Cântecul este o scrisoare pe care i-am scris-o tatălui meu, care a murit când eram adolescent”. „Europapa” este despre un orfan care călătorește prin Europa (și zonele învecinate) pentru a se regăsi și a-și spune povestea. Tatăl meu mi-a oferit o viziune largă asupra lumii. Granițele sunt făcute de oameni, dar tatăl meu mi-a spus că și tu poți să-ți stabilești limite, gândindu-te din cutie. La început oamenii nu mă cunoșteau, dar continui să profit de fiecare ocazie pentru a mă arăta. Când oamenii văd fapta mea, primul răspuns ar trebui să fie „Ce se întâmplă aici?” și apoi la final îi atinge pe oameni și îi pune pe gânduri. „Europapa” pare inițial un act foarte vesel, dar o dată în spatele asta se află un mesaj mai profund. (Informații de fundal de la Joost Klein) Joost Klein (26 de ani) provine din provincia Fryslân din Olanda. Joost este un muzician, rapper, cântăreț și fost KZfaqr olandez. El este în primul rând un artist hip-hop, iar cântecele și spectacolele sale includ adesea influențe din muzica electronică, precum drum 'n' bass, hardstyle și gabber. Joost scrie și poezie La vârsta de doisprezece ani și-a pierdut tatăl din cauza cancerului. Un an mai târziu, în 2011, mama lui a murit din cauza unui stop cardiac. După moartea părinților săi, Joost a fost îngrijit de fratele și sora lui mai mare {Ne pare rău, l-am tradus cu Google Translate}

The disconnect between rhythm/vibe and lyrics/meaning of the song is real, and typical for his songs. The lyrics could be put on a very sad [almost depressing] ballade, still the vibe is happy (hardcore) with so many references to Europe [Europa in Dutch] and Netherlands. This ode to his father [papa] (who died at young age, followed by his mom a year later) is the upkeep of a promise he made to them to one time perform at ESF.

euro pa pa in romanian means europe goodbye

Winner 2024!

The longer outro is even more impressive, they had to shorten it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ot-EddKLvKnWfYU.html

Say Joost like in TOAST

Bad audio 😢

is so horrible song

Dutchie here and have to be honest: SO embarrassing this song... " YEah but you are old" " Yeah you just don't get it!" Embarrassing not because of my age (54 and counting) or that I just don't 'get' it but this belongs in the late 80-ies and perhaps early 90-ies when this was 'all the rage' and we were dancing to this, but it is 2024, we have moved on, it is SO old and done before and not original...

Heartfelt message for sure. But the song is dreadfully bad

[Edited copy from @wiqu2346] The translation of the song: Europe, let's come together It's now or never I love you all Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Visit my friends in France Or take a walk to Vienna I want to leave the Netherlands but my passport is gone Fortunately don't need a visa to be with you So take the bus to Poland or the train to Berlin I have no money for Paris So i use my fantasy Do you have a euro please? Say 'Merci' and 'alsjeblieft' ('please' in French and Dutch) I really lost everything Except time So i am travelling every day, because the world is mine Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa (hey) Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Eu-ro-pa (hey) Ich bin in Deutschland (I am in Germany) Aber ich bin so allein (But i am so alone) Io Sono in Italia (I am in Italy) But it still hurts I am running from myself Calling for help all day long Yes i even give people money but there is no one to help me I don't need es-car-gots (A French dish) Don't need fish 'n chipt (An English dish) Don't need paella (A Spanish dish) No, i don't even really know what that is Turn on the radio I hear Stromae with 'Papaoutai' I won't stop until they say: "Yes yes, he does that very well ey!" Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Welcome to Europe Stay here until i die Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Euro-pa-pa-pa (hey) Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Eu-ro-pa (hey) Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa..... WELCOME TO EUROPE BOYY!! ... Eu-ro-pa! At he end of the day, we are all human beings My father once told me, this is a world without borders I miss you every day, is what i secretly whisper You see dad... I listened to you. (The end is a tribute to his parents, especially his father, whom he lost at a young age)
