Hi everyone, BigBong here and today I am with
my Colombian friend Mateo for a very exciting video
How are you?
Well thank you so much for having me here
I'm super excited, hello guys!
By the way, I personally love the Latino culture
And you know that because I've already danced salsa
in one of your concerts, where ou were singing
I remember that, it was a long time ago
But yeah I remember you dancing everywhere
And it was amazing because I really connected
with you on those scenarios
and it's super cool to reconnect today
Absolutely and your voice man!
Your voice is spiritual
Especially when you hold that note very high
I feel something!
If you are following my channel, you probably saw
the video I made with my friend Federico in which
we compared which accents sounds more romantic
between French and Italian
But the funny thing is that a lot of people didn't vote for either
saying that the most romantic language in the world is Spanish
So let's figure it out and battle
The comment section is about to become a war zone
That being said, let's make it a little spicier by asking you
Do you think that Colombian people are romantic?
And if they are more romantic than other Latin American countries
Well, I think we are not just romantic
but we are sexier
For me, romanticism comes with sexiness
Without that, it's nothing
Interesting!
When I did my battle with my Italian friend
A lot of people said: French is more poetic
Like romantic-poetic and Italian is more romantic-sexy
So we would need to define that
But we don't have time to do that today
We are just gonna figure out which one sounds more romantic
sexy or poetic, you guys choose
Alright so let's do this
The rules are pretty simple
Basically, we're gonna be saying roughly the same things
just to make it fair
And you guys are gonna decide, in the comment section
which one sounds more romantic
So for this first round, very basic I would say
basic romantic things to say to your significant other
So in French: "ton amour vaut bien plus qu'un million d'étoiles"
"Tu amor vale mas que un millón de estrellas"
Wow, so romantic!
That meant: "your love is worth more than a million stars"
Ok, next one
We're just warming up
"Je suis tellement heureux de partager chaque instant de ma vie avec toi"
"Estoy muy feliz de compartir cada instante de mi vida a tu lado"
Oh my god, I'm melting!
Because you've gotta be credible
You've gotta be like you're dying for the other
You know, we're really good at that
like everything is too much
"My life without you is nothing"
I feel like we lose in that sense
French people, we lose
Us, we're like everything is like a whole story
It's the major love of your life
And it's too passionate, the words you use
"I would die for you, I love you so much!"
"I love you, you're the only one" exactly
Whereas in France, it's more the nonchalance, I call it
You know, you're indifferent
You're more classy
Yeah exactly, I don't know I think it's more like
you look at the girl, it's not really passionate
It's more like "I love you babe"
"Eres como lo mas más increíble que me ocurre en la vida"
So that was:
"I'm so happy to share each moment of my life by your side"
Alright the next one:
"Cada día te quiero más ... estoy enamorado de ti"
"Chaque jour qui passe j'ai toujours plus envie de toi"
"Je sais pas comment je fais, je suis tellement amoureux"
I think I'm gonna win this one though
So it was "I want you more every day"
"I'm so in love with you"
Now let's see if we can stay romantic
by saying very common and random things
For example:
"Ça me dérange pas de faire la vaisselle, la lessive ou le ménage"
"No me importa hacer el oficio, lavar la ropa y los platos"
So that meant "I don't mind cleaning, doing the dishes or the laundry"
But I think a lot of girls would find that very romantic
So let's choose something more daily
Not boring... But you know, not romantic
"El otro día, estaba jugando videojuegos, estuvo genial"
"L'autre jour, j'ai joué à des jeux vidéos, c'était génial"
So that meant:
"The other day, I was playing video games and it was fun!"
You're having a normal conversation
and in the middle of the conversation
you say something in Spanish that's random
And the person would be like "oh my god"
It works super well!
It works sometimes, you're talking about your daily life
Yesterday, I did that you know we were taking whatever
And they're like oooh...
Ok so now, let's take it to the next level
Actually it's going downwards
Oh going downwards, all right!
Let's see if we can still remain romantic
while saying something disgusting
"La dernière fois que j'ai utilisé les toilettes publiques"
"je suis passé après quelqu'un qui avait la diarrhée"
"je pouvais encore sentir sa sueur sur le bol"
"La otra vez, había alguien que tenía diarrea en los baños públicos"
"Podía sentir el sudor en la tasa"
I mean, if someone doesn't understand the language
Just the music of the language, the sound
Of course, it can sound romantic
Yeah of course, even me with French girls
When they speak like whatever, I'm like oooh...
Oh so you have a sweet spot for the French language?
So it was:
"The other day, someone had diarrhea in the public toilets"
"And I could still feel the sweat on the toilet bowl"
Before we continue, let's learn a little bit more about you
You're a singer and a song writer
And I know you've released half of your album already
So can you tell us a little bit more about that?
Yeah well it's been an amazing project
Because since we launched my first half of the album
"Vengo de Frente" by the way, it's called "Mateo"
"Vengo de Frente"
We won Revelation of Radio-Canada award
Oh wow, congratulations man
Thank you, so we are super excited
because the second half is coming really soon
And I invite everyone to go listen and share
Just take a look and let me know what you think
Especially my Latin people because I wanna have your feedback
Yeah you sing only in Spanish, right?
Yeah just only in Spanish
It's gonna be very romantic
You have a YouTube channel, you're on Spotify
You're on Deezer, iTunes, everywhere
So guys, you know what to do!
Go go go "Mateo, Vengo de Frente"
Now let's have fun and switch a little bit
I'll be speaking in Spanish and you'll have one in French
Be ready, I think I'm gonna beat you though
But hold on, I have the Spanish now
So this one maybe, I'm gonna beat you
"Eres mi todo ... te quiero, te amo, te adoro!"
"Tu es tout pour moi... j'ai envie de toi"
"Je t'aime... je t'adore"
You love the girl so much, you don't have the words
to say that so it's: "you're my everything"
"I want you, I love you... I adore you"
Ok I think we are running out of options
It's pretty clear we love the girl by now
Right now, its 100% exactly
So we gave it all and I think what's missing at this point
is just to ask her to marry you
Yeah I think so
Let's make it a little bit longer this one
"Dès l'instant où je t'ai vue, j'ai tout de suite su que t'étais la bonne"
"Me ferais-tu l'honneur d'être l'homme le plus heureux du monde ?"
"Veux-tu m'épouser ?"
"Desde el momento que te vi… supe que eras única"
"Que eras la mujer de mi vida"
"Que quiero pasar el resto de mis días contigo"
¿Quieres casarte conmigo?
Who would say no?
So in English, it would be:
"Since the moment I first saw you, I knew you were the one"
"Would you make me the happiest man in the world?"
"Would you marry me?"
It doesn't sound that good in English after French and Spanish...
I know, English is like "hello?"
Hold on, if we said it in a British accent
Would you make me the honour of becoming
the happiest man in the world?
Would you marry me?
Damn!
I don't know if English people would say that was convincing
Me, I was ready to do that!
So yeah, she said "yes" of course
Why would she say no? Yeah, I know!
But now it's time!
During the wedding ceremony, you have to dance
of course, with the bride
I'm gonna beat you in dancing
I don't know... What do you dance?
I dance everything but I saw you dancing
on my concerts and I was like
Ok, this guy... you know how to move!
Yeah but still...
At the marriage, you dance and you can sing
Some people sing with the piano or the guitar
♪ BigBong sings "Je l'aime à mourir" by Francis Cabrel ♪
So which song would you pick
And could we have a demonstration?
I would compose a song for her
No way, really?
I would do that!
I gonna play one of my songs
♪ Mateo plays his own song "Náufrago" ♪
I wave the white flag on this one...
So guys, what do you think? We gave it all honestly!
Which one sounds more romantic?
Is it Spanish or is it French?
Let us know in the comments, right now!
