Don't forget he also mentioned the hit from Stromae "papa où t'es" what also means "dad, where are you".
This is is not only music, this is art. So many double messages. It makes me happy, gives me energy and makes me sad as wel. How is that posible. Respect
This song has a deeper meaning. 'Papa' is translated 'dad' in dutch. Joost lost his dad to cancer when he was 12 and his mom a year later because of a cardiac arrest. When he was younger he watched the Eurovision with his parents and said “I’m gonna sing at Eurovision one day”. Joost sings that no matter where he goes or what he eats, he can not escape the pain of this loss. In the end he says goodbye to the pain of his loss by burning the photo, without losing the memory. This song is also an ode to Europe. His dad told him that it’s a world without borders, because borders are invented by humans. And that you can create your own world. The dance break is happy hardcore - a music style that was invented in the Netherlands, also called gabber music. Bringing a personal loss, the feeling of Europe and the dutch culture together; that is art.
The lyrics have a lot of layers:
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 long 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 use my imagination
Do you have a euro please
Say "merci" and "please"
I lost everything
Except time
So am travelling every day
For 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
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!
Ich bin in Deutschland
Aber Ich bin so allein
Io sono in Italia
but still I feel pain
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
Don't need fish 'n chips
Don't need paella, no
I don't even really know what that is
Turn on the radio
I hear Stromae with "Papaoutai"
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
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa….
Welcome in Europe boy!
At the end of the day
We are all human beings
My father once told me
It's a world without borders
I miss you every day
Is what I secretly whisper
You see dad
I listened to you
Is what I secretly whisper
You see dad
I listened to you
Very well said.
I am with you!.This is an art. Genius!
Im from Belgium, and my 6year old just loves this. She knows all the lyrics beginning to end. 😂
12 points to the Netherlands ❤
Belgium loves Joost Klein ❤ and Dj Paul Elstak 12 points , a perfect mix of 90’s Eurodance and Happy hardcore or like de dutch call it Gabber music , work hard and rave hard 🎉 🎉🎉 just let yourself go … 🎉🎉🎉
The ending is real Dutch hardcore... Gabber music! from the 90's.
The song seems very happy (until the end) but it's actually him running away from himself and his pain because he lost both his parents within a year of each other when he was around 12. In the context of the EU, he literally was able to run to many places even without a passport. Lyrics like "I lost everything except time" and "am running from myself calling for help all day long" are definite clues to there being something else going on but it's so contradictory to the music that people just ignore those.
Growing up his family always watched Eurovision and Joost said to his dad that he wanted to be on Eurovision as well. His dad said that he should go for it if that's what he wanted and that the world is a world without borders/limits cause borders are manmade. Joost describes this song as a letter to his dad in particular but it's dedicated to both his parents as you can see at the end. The fire at the end represents him letting go of the pain of the past which he has carried around for too long.
a video reaction to Joost coming soon
The song is a letter to his parents who died when Joost was still young. His father told him that since humans invented the borders, he could invent the world, his own world. And so he did! The end with the burning picture and house means that it's time to stop grieving about his parents and step into a new phase in his life.
Oh i love it, what a brave young man
Dat heb je mooi samengevat 👍
Another bot copying pasting this story everywhere.
Another bot like being annoying and rude.😂@rodysummertje
I am from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
LOVE Your COMMENT 💙💙❤️GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱🇳🇱💚💚
Cheers mate xx
The only one who can stand up to Europapa is Canadad.
Canadaddy? Just a thought :)
👏
The dark ending is because he dedicated the song to his parents. Who he lost when he was young.
Hello Aussie Tash, Australia is always welcome on the Eurovision!
Love ❤this song. Its getting better every day. Almost 10 million vieuws on CZcams. 12 points for The Netherlands. ❤
12 points to The Netherlands. The winner of the Eurovision Songcontest 2024. Nostalgia from the 90's.
9 millions views in 8 days, no1 trending on CZcams, loved from Asia to South America. No1 on Spotify. A hit on TikTok.
Joost said that he will bring a huge surprise on stage in the finals that will shock the world.
This is a masterpiece. Euro papa= Euro dad, because papa is dad in Dutch. A sad song with lyrics with a meaning, with a message, in a happy hardcore melody. A letter to his father who died when he was a 12 year old child. His mother past away a year later. He promised his father that he will be someday on the Eurovision Songcontest stage. His father told him that it is possible because there are no borders between the countries, and no limits to follow his dream. Borders and limitations are made by human. In every country he went, he felt the pain and grief of no having his parents. The fire symbolise letting go of the grief and pain, and the start of a new chapter in his live.
Little bit of background on Joost. He was creative from a very young age and also a bit different. His father said that there are no boundaries and he should follow his dreams. They always watched the Eurovision Songfestival together so as a kid he replied that his dream would be to go to the Eurovision Songfestival. Then his dad passed away when he was 12 and his mother when he was 13. For inspiration and acceptance of the loss of his parents he travelled trough Europe. Therefore he sings that the pain and emptiness stayed with him no matter where he went. He paid for mental help but it did not work for him. Still he managed to be a very positive and joyful person as reflected in this song. He sings about the song Papaoutai from Stromae that is also about missing his father. In all of this he managed to combine lot's of cultural aspects of different European countries and the Netherlands. There is even a Max Verstappen reference in the build-up. Without the layer of his personal life you will notice that a lot of elements can directly be related to the European countries. The young boy and the old man represent him and his father struggling trough life and his father being an example for him. The windmill is near where he spend his youth so also a trip trough memory lane to him. The final emotional scene represents him as a kid and his father when it all ended, the burning of the family photo and the building represents that you need to move on in life and not be stuck in the past. In the end he tells that he listened to his father (there are no borders for your dreams) and refers to him going to the Eurovision Songfestival. So winning would be optional, his goal was participation. It is a bit similar to the style of Little Big, a band that never participated and still has the most views on the Eurovision channel by a landslide.
Malmo is gonna explode after hearing this song, for sure he's going to win 💯
Yeah
He might get the televote, but the juries wont vote for him. Like with kaarija last year
Joost Klein will be the winner this year. 100 percent!!❤❤❤
Cheers for watching and being with us this morning xx
Hi Tash that was really great to watch. Very catchy for sure! I see from some comments it was for his parents very sad but well done! Enjoyed watching, take care🫶
I totally agree!
Masterpiece by Joost!!!
Thank you for taking this emotionl rollercoaster. Here is my recap You can travel freely in a Europe w/o borders but the pain of the loss of loved ones travels with you. Follow your dreams and make the ones you love proud. Carry the memories with you but also their lessons. Joost is no joke he is a survivor right through the pain to party on the eurovision stage.
Love this explanation. Also people need to know PA= dad, and PAPA = also dad. eu-ro-PA (europe)
Greetz from Assen, Netherlands. Come On Joost Klein in Schweden ❤❤❤
Remember the song from E.L.O. "Can't get it out of my head" ? That's what happened to me. It's very catchy. Old school Dutch Happy Hardcore! By the way, i am a metal head.
It's been in my head since the day it was released. But still loving it😊
If you search the personal history of Joost and then put this song and video together, with his story, you will find and understand all the layers:
- both his parents died in the '90's ( the age of the hardcore etc)
- he was just a child when that happened ( in an interview about this song and clip he told to never want to loose his inner child, that makes it funny, maybe weird for a lot)
- his father said the world is without boundaries, but people create boundaries, so you can create the world
- when he was young, every year he watched the eurovision song festival with his parents and shared his dream with his parents. Which was to also wanted to be there on stage, performing and representing the Netherlands
- still every where he goes ( in Europe) it doesn't take away the loss and pain
- the sudden end: from happy hardcore, dancing, smiling, hard!! To....a really abrupt silence, burning his fundament, his family, his house, his home and where he comes from....i think this represents how it was for him to suddenly loose his father...and a year later his mother...from partying and no worries at all....to : wtf...what is happening...a total silence...disbelief and destruction
If you KNOW, you KNOW,. This song (lyrics + videoclip) is pure ART.
So many depth and double meanings, Joost is a genius !
After Ducan Laurence, Joost Klein is our new nr 1 for The Netherlands 🥳🇪🇺🇳🇱, greetz from Amsterdam!!!

Europa = Europe (in Dutch)
papa = dady
This song is a tribute to his father Who died when Joost was 12 years old.
Yes official. I wonder how they going to preform this on stage!
Always nice to see an Aussie reaction!
in his song he reference to Stromae. the song called papaoutai. Stromae was 9 years old when his father died. The song papaoutai is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
love it!!!!!!🥰
Congratulations that this video will be in the archives in museum Sound and Vision comes in the Netherlands
G'Day Tash! This song is a look back, eh? lol Very energetic and catchy. 🎵🎶😘
glad you love this. the section after "welcome to europe boy", the dancing on hard core beats, it;s "hakken", part of the quite Dutch "Gabber"- culture, very the "in" thing in the 90's and now revived !! btw, I still love last year's OZ-entry by Voyager!!! They deserved more points for sure!!! greets from Amsterdam
love this song so much its and banger my country netherlands slaying
Dank u wel.
The Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will take place in the Malmö Arena on Saturday 11 May with Semi-Finals on Tuesday 7 and Thursday 9 May.
Great review! Thank you! 😘
we might watch it live in Australia on the Netherlands channel
Feel the energy...Great upload..
His father died of cancer when he was 12, his mother a year later of cardiac arrest. That explains the sad ending and some of the lyrics.
Oh my gosh, he is a stong young man xx
Love the T-shirt (Canadian here)!

Love it! ❤❤❤❤❤
Ciaaaooo!!! From Italy!!!
Australia 2023 was 🔥
"We have an official EUROvision contestant from AUSTRALIA every year!"
Something in that sentence doesn't seem right...
I was also wondering since when is australia a part of europe, because its called EUROvision is it not
Belgium 🇧🇪 here! I hope Netherlands 🇳🇱 wins
I love the song and Joost! I believe in him!! ❤
Great reaction vid Tash, thanks! Look The Kransky Sisters❤ from Australia are in the clip 😂 3:59. Wouldn’t it be lovely if they make a cover?
Australië en Nederland lijken op elkaar.
Gewoon super relaxed.
We gaan wel dit jaar voor Joost.
Hij is een kunstenaar.
Het is liefde en een soort van gedicht en dat vertaald in even een stukje muziek.
Ik hoop echt dat hij wint.
Niet omdat we Nederland zijn,maar om hem het gevoel te geven dat zijn ouders trots zijn.
Ik in ieder geval trots.
We zijn trouwens geen europa alleen.
We zijn 1 wereld.
super reaction video ❤ have something from the translator about the song below.
(This is the story behind Joost Klein and the meaning of 'Europapa')
This is what Joost said about his 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 through Europe to find himself and tell his story."
“My father taught me that the world actually has no borders.
He said: 'the borders were invented by people, so you can also imagine the world'.
So go for the causes you believe in.”
Europapa's video clip shows a house on fire. (What does that stand for)
"When people see my act,
the first response should be, “What's going on here?”
Ultimately, I hope to touch people and make them think.
'Europapa' initially seems like a very cheerful act,
but behind that lies a deeper message.
Sometimes you have to say goodbye to the things that are most dear to you.
And where one door closes, sometimes 30,000 open.
And most of all, I learned that sometimes you perpetuate your own pain.
So actually that letter is also a kind of closure, I dare say.
I want to tell them, 'hey, mom and dad, you will always be there for me, but I can't carry this pain with me forever'.”
(Background What did that have to do with, information from Joost Klein)
Joost Klein (26) is from the Netherlands.
Joost, is a Dutch musician, rapper, singer and former CZcamsr.
He is primarily a hip hop artist and his songs and performances often incorporate influences from electronic music,
such as drum 'n' bass, hardstyle, Happy hardcore 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, for errors in your language, I translated this using Google Translate}
One of my favourites this year. Took me a couple of listenings but Im sold now❤ btw I love the Aussie entry this year as well (except for video sorry)
Love from 🇳🇱 ♥
The burning part means that sometimes you have to leave the past behind to get further in life. Not to forget but moving foreward.
They are called scootmobiles, thumbs up!
The white scooter is an angel, the red scooter the devil
Dam Im should've won in 2016! One of the best vocalists Eurovision has had in a long time, maybe ever. Voyager was amazing too and Sheldon Riley's voice was incredible! Australia has done so well, they only didn't make it to the finals one time and originally were allowed to participate untill 2023 starting from 2016, but I am so glad they were allowed to come back!
Cheers
Ik vind van wel
miss Aussie Tash, thanks for the Dutch reactions.
The bookmakers still don’t get it, how come this song is not listed as number one? Europapa nr 1 😊
Hello there; watch out, Joost could be the new winner 2024 ❤❤❤
I love how every non-dutch is scared of the hardcore hardcore at first 😂
The bikes are mobile scooters, specially made for people with mobility issues, the state gives them for free so disabled people are free to go wherever they want. They called scootmobiel.
Me as a dutchy is always wondering how people react from the moment the Happy hardcore kicks in :)
HELLO FROM AMSTERDAM..geat channel
Nederland 🇳🇱 jaaaaaaaa
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welkom in Nederland
Next to the story of Joost, even the scooters are a dutch product of a company named "Life and Mobility". And Yes, Voyager with Danny and Simone should have won :D
Those arn’t motorbikes but motorised carts for disabled people.
Yeah! You guys have been great! But still, if you would win, you still would have to find a European country to host it. You are very welcome guests! You were invited for a jubilea and stuck after that and we love you! But if you would win, which is not a stretch, it would still be have to be held somewhere in Europe, because of timezones. 🤷🏼♀️😊
Deutschland und Österreich Auch. !!!!!! Alles Gute Euch
Here its called scootmobile...lol
The word papa means dad
For reference:
Europa = Europe
Pa = Dad
Papa = Dad/Daddy
Hence sometimes he says "Eu-ro-pa" and sometimes "Europa-pa" and sometimes "Eu-ro-pa-pa"
If you look closey the guy on the bikes started with a parody vid of mario bros racing ;-)
❤ Joost ❤
Great song 12 points🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ty man
❤
❤❤❤
The new winner of 2024, at the end 😢😰 12 points
This is what people do when they hold on to emotional stress or grief. They burn pictures or stuff from the bad times
Love to Brisbane!
They are mobile scooters for elderly abd People who have walk issues
Not a popular opinion maybe, but I always felt like Australia and New Zealand should be part of European events like ESF and the Euro tournaments, you lot are basically family and having Aussies and Kiwis around is always a pleasure and a guarantee for a joyfull atmosphere.
I totally agree. Welcome aboard!
Joost rules!!!!

Even though it's possible for Australia to win the competition, they can't actually host it.
