Lyrics:
Skin as rich as a starlit night
Your rhythm is rebellion
Deep currents running in the rivers of your eyes
Your rhythm is rebellion
They spat on your crown
And they poisoned your ground
Your rhythm is rebellion
They burned your heroes at the stake
But your voice will echo all their names
This ain’t the end, no!
It’s the birth of a new age
YU NO MAN BROKO MI (You can’t break me)
Soul blazing like a hurricane
Your rhythm is rebellion
Spirit roaring wild like untamed flames
Your rhythm is rebellion
They buried your gods
They imprisoned your thoughts
Your rhythm is rebellion
They tried to drain you of your faith
But you are the rage that melts the chains
This ain’t the end, no!
It’s the birth of a new age
We are the fruit
Adorning the legacy
Of every forgotten revolutionary
Born in resilience
Proud like a lion
We are the birth of a new age
YU NO MAN BROKO MI (You can’t break me)
MI NA AFU SENSI (I’m half a cent)

@@meowpoosaymeow @nerd01!,same here awful Bad Song i’m Dutch but i don’t like this Song at al!!
🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦
Truly awesome & brilliantly stunning...!!! The Netherlands did it again...!!!
Unpopular opinion: Europe wasn’t ready to be confronted with the truth of this masterpiece.
This is the Eurovision song I can't get out of my head. If you'd asked me to make a list of top 3, I wouldn't have picked this one as the ear-worm, but the "they poisoned your ground" and "your rhythm is rebellion" will NOT leave my brain. It probably helps that the lyrics on this one are quality. Song on repeat!
He sings in Sranantongo. One of the many languages in Suriname (and the Netherlands). Wether this is the reason why Macrooy had such a low score, I don't know. Personally I like the song and it shows that Suriname and the Netherlands are actually pretty close countries. (About ⅔ of all Surinamers live in the Netherlands because back in the day, most Surinamers didn't want independence.)
What a beautiful song, very sad that I did not get the recognition it deserved. Beautiful text, beautiful voice, beautiful instrumentalisation, great meaning!
Mind fixing that typo?
He sang in Sranan Tongo (the Broko Mi part) which sounds like "You know my broccoli) and Sranan Tongo is the second language of Suriname🇸🇷
Even more, the only people in this videos are Surinamers. This video must represent my country. And while I dont have a problem with Surinamers, its not really The Netherlands anymore. More so, we Dutch hear "You know my broccoli"
Yes very beautiful. You don't know my broccoli. You don't know my broccoli.
I cannot believe this got 0 points in the finale, this song is incredible art.
Misschien moet je je gehoorapparaat eens aanzetten dan snap je het wel.
@@PA8N You are my broccoli, you are my broccoli. You are my BROCCO BROCCOLI. :D
@@cobyvandrongelen331 precies dit! :D altijd die boomers weer die niet open zijn tegen de racisme aanpak campagne en graag racisme verheerlijken :D
@@clintonsuw Heeft niks te maken met rasisme, het lied was gewoon meh
from the public*
To whoever's wondering: he's singing in English and Sranan Tongo, the language of Suriname. He's saying yu no man broko mi, which is Surinamese for you can't break me.
Thanks! I thought it was Dutch
Can't fool us, broccoli
Thanks, I thought he didn't pronounce well "break me"
@@Alex-fhsjfuuf Dutch sounds completly different 😂😂
Greetings from Germany
I prefer the broccoli meaning :)
This song is so underrated especially when you listen it more then once. With spectacular staging it will be a perfect song
As a third generation Dutch Surinamese, it brings a smile to my face to hear Sranan Tongo on the Eurovision stage 🇸🇷🇳🇱❤️ lobi
I am ashamed of my country for sending in this crap
Nee deze muziek is echt gay
Dit Moet Nederland representeren niet Afrika
@@baskremers2999 Suriname ligt niet in afrika...
@@baskremers2999 nee, dat ben jij! Prachtig nummer. Suriname ligt in het mooie Zuid-Amerika, gekkie :)
Can't believe this got 0 points from the televote. This is a really good song and I loved it.

i think it's very powerful how jeangu has chosen to take a risk twice with his songs. i feel that both grow and this song are very personal and express hope and optimism. they're very different from each other, but i actually like them both p much equally. they just have their own unique vibes. perhaps too unique for eurovision, but that's all right! host countries rarely win twice in a row, so taking the chance to put out something close to your heart is a great way to make use of that certified spot in the finals
This video and the message for Suriname and all people struggling in the world right now is pure beauty. Well done!!
This was this year's winner for me, the most beautiful and powerful lyrics and rhythm of the whole contest! And the live performance was just as lively and even more intense than the music video, so beautiful! 😍
This is just too good for Eurovision. Stunning song. It cuts right to the heart. I love the poetry of the lyrics and the deep velvet vocals.
I totally agree...this song is soo good. I m Surinamese myself.
They were not ready for this.
This song didn t get the recognition it should have
The visual side of this video is pure masterpiece.
It's called a cultural appropriation, baby.
@@tetsuo964 how can someone appropriate their own culture 🧐
@@tetsuo964 HAHAHA watch Belarus Braids thats cultural appropriation baby. its his own culture
Agreed!! The symbolism is amazing!! As a Surinamese it made me feel proud to see my culture represented in such an artful way!!
😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
IT'S THE WHOLE SONG FOR ME. WELL DONE JEANGU🇸🇷💪🏾🤲🏾👊🏾❤🇸🇷
I'll NEVER NEVER NEVER understand and accept the result of this song.
NE
VER
Just listen what he REALLY has to say!! This song is so beautifull! 👌🌹
Great voice!! Good luck The Netherlands... From Portugal 🇵🇹❤️
Thank you and you know what I am in love with the song of Portugal Love is on my side, beautiful, also a quality song and he has a great voice also . Good luck Portugal from The Netherlands !
This song gives me such good vibes. At least we can hear something different, original and so inspirational. Thanks The Netherlands from PT. 🇵🇹
Vote na Valéria! 🙏🏼😍
Thanks to Jeangu!
You can have him.
This is the best example of music that heals. Thanks Netherlands! I cannot hear this without getting emotional. You might not have won the contest but you guys won our hearts! God Bless You ♥️♥️♥️
😌❤
What do you mean with heal the netherlands?
@@hecker2133 I mean that this song is healing, it is very powerful.
@@pog1212 ok
@@hecker2133 first healing needed is that gutteral cough you have when you speak "the best language" (Netherlands 2nd =)
This song gives me the lion king vibes is Disney could put this song in a future movie. Perfect
Same (:!
YES
I would like to see a Disney movie set in Suriname during the colonial era. That would be cool.
Same
I’ve seen a few people make this mistake so I just wanted to say that Suriname is in South America not Africa. It’s north of Brazil 😊
Thanks for saying it
😂😂😂
Thank you. I live in Suriname and it's a chore explaining this to people. We're multicultural, not just black people.
@@TheReviewDesk suriname is a really curious place demogeographicaly talking, is the only place on south america where a germanic language is the mayoritary
@@W.Gaster And we drive on the left!
i love how message and visuals are very strong but song is upbeat. sounds like hope
This is so powerful... But it's not just that: it's also very truthful and optimistic, wish the best of luck to The Netherlands and Mr. Macrooy, he deserves the best! Good luck from 🇧🇷
YU NO MAN BROKOMI !
MI NA AFU SENSI 😍❤️😍💖
The song is a MASTERPIECE ❤️ Thank you Jeangu for giving to us this art. 👌🏼
This I read today: The sentence is derived from an old Surinamese saying: "mi na afu sensi, no wan man e broko mi", literally translated "I am half a cent, you cannot break me". At the time, the half cent was the smallest means of payment in Suriname and therefore literally unbreakable.
Thanks i was looking for the translation of the first part 👍🏻 powerful song
I love the symbolism of this, being the smallest amount, so being unbreakable
Well no, gran tani mi sisah 😊👏🏾🙋🏽♀️
Broccoli
Still funny that it sounds like: "you are my broccoli"
I think it's the wrong crowd for this song. Put this in a movie as a 'peak moment song' and you have a hit!
like a musical
This song is MAJESTIC. My mom loves it too, she said it kinda gives her Peter Gabriel vibes. It was meant to be on the left side of the scoreboard.
Goodness knows I'm no good at picking Eurovision winners, but I love this as a song. It just feels right for 2021.
Mi lob ing valijk, ey waka! Jeangu, no wan sma mang broko yu. We zijn trots op jou! 🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷 succes! You got this
Broccoli
Jeanu i really wanna thank u for this song
Really liked this song and performance. Greetings from Estonia
Hello
First of all as a Surinamese and fan since Between Towers, I am very proud to see you make it this far. Further, knowing that Jeangu prefers singing in English I was pleasantly surprised to hear the inclusion of our mother language.
The song is very catchy and just sticks in your head.
As for the video: AMAZING SYMBOLYSM!!!😍😍😍👏👏👏
Jo i got goosebumps when I saw the ladies in our traditional wear and seeing them pour the herbal water over him.
You are my winner!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love Surinamese culture and I am happy this is representing the Netherlands. I also hope to see cultural elements in the live show!
The music video is just gorgeous, most probably one of the best MVs that I've seen for a Eurovision song. Honestly.
And then the song is super interesting, it's extremely authentic, I love the lyrics and the truth they tell, the message they carry.
And don't even get me started on Jeangu's incredible voice.
Way to go, Netherlands. I'll definitely be voting for this in May.
Much love from Romania ❤️
Broccoli
What a beautiful comment.
Best comment of the day on the internet. Thank you so much, my dear Mateea and Romania. We're excited for Romania ✨🌈 And Romania's entry and representative too. Much love from Netherlands, Europe.
Couldn’t have said it better!
My favourite song this year! It has soul (don't understand why wasn't appreciated by others)
Because it sounds he says broccoli
Playing it once again just before the premiere of S10's song. It was so underrated, still one of my biggest favourites of 2021 - amazing song
It's so unpopular mostly because it represents Suriname rather then the Netherlands. I like the song too tho, except that it's not fit for a Eurovision for the Netherlands 🇳🇱. So Suriname 🇸🇷 de facto has a song on the Eurovision.
I am absolutly in love with this song
Love from Germany
Tysm love from Netherlands
I really liked his song at Euro 2020, but I also liked this one the first time. Jeangu makes quality music. Greetings from Ukraine.
Tyssmmmmm
I saw a comment on a reaction video of this song that is so painfully true. It's like Eurovision fans say 'we want more ethnic stuff' and when this song dropped you'd think it'd be welcomed with open arms, but everyone is like 'Don't care lmao, let's spam broccoli emojis because it sounds like he says that a lot' ad infinitum.
it's because it's celebrating black pride.
@@evanthorn408 So what ? Black pride deserves respect. Black Lives Matter ! Or is there any problem for you ?
@@DanTony68 no i love the song and i am saying that the reason why many people dislike it is because they cannot relate to it (which i think is bs). i am sorry if my original comment sent the wrong message.
@@evanthorn408 bs ? Sorry, I'm French and my english level is quite low. That's why I can sometimes misunderstand comments.
@@DanTony68 it's all fine, you're surely better in english than i am in french! bs stands for bullsh*t by the way
His voice is so beautiful! And such a wonderful message. How did this not get more votes?!?
This sounds waaay better than that live version from yesterday. The more I hear this song, the more I actually start to like it.
but it's a songcontest so let's hope he can manage to bring it to the stage
Your rhythm is rebellion is such a beautiful and powerful line tho.
The Netherlands get my 12 points too...Lots of love from Belgium
Jamman lekkere brocolie
After reading the lyrics and the translation for the non English parts, I’m so shocked that they didn’t get a high score.
So precious. So deep. So positive. So meaningful. So down to Earth. This has a transcending vibe. Instrumentals and vocals. Pure music. 💎
l love this so much! From Portugal ❤️
Você tem bom gosto!
the song sounded like my soul, thank u very much😍 from Azerbaijan🇦🇿❤
Such a beautiful song! It grew on me after Eurovision's grand final. This song didn't deserve 0 points. Unfortunately, the competition was hard as hell because this year had many amazing songs including the 4 countries that received 0 points from the public.
Gorgeous people, Amazing dances, Beautiful colors and clothes 🌷🙏🏻🇳🇱 And the best song we've ever had!!
Its 🇸🇷 not 🇳🇱
Ok this sounds nothing like the live track yesterday. This sounds sooooo much better! I really like this one! This will be a great moment on the night.
Well if the performance doesn't change it will be the same thing we saw yesterday..
@@mrmr4622 oh no, it seemed so tinny and bland, this has more oomph too it.
@@kornstar1988 well lets hope it will be better on the night of Eurovision
@@mrmr4622 he can only have 6 on stages so most of the choir will not be there
@@mrmr4622 no it will not, cause there won’t be a live band
At first I was like 'Psshh, broccoli lol, no way this stands a chance!'
Then I started listening, and I mean really listening. Looked up the lyrics and the sranantongo bit, listened again.. Man, this is one powerful song!!
Too bad it's not a very good song.
@@krijgwat469 you're right, it's not a good song.. It's a great song!! 😂

"Yu no man broko mi" but I thought the same when I heard it for the first time 🤣
it’s Yu no mang brokko mi.
@@calebj5188 I wrote it just like it has been written on the big screen during their performance. And it said "Yu no man broko mi" on the big screen
Yu no mang brokko mi. It means you can't break me in Sranangtongo
@@purpledancer8255 I didn’t reply to you.
The fact that some people heard a language that isnt european and their first thought was to make fun of it, show respect and educate yourself. Anyways I’m very proud that this is our entry this year
Yeah we make fun of other European languages too so chill....especially Dutch
@@jenster29 I guess you're English, and don't understand another language because 'Everyone speaks English'. Well there is a reason for that, you're too blunt to learn another language.
@@xXTheoLinuxXx you guessed wrong. On all counts. Do you need some ointment ?
@@jenster29 no I don't need that, but since your firstname (at least on youtube) is English and your content is English (at least the language) related, so what should people think?
At least I'm not pretending to be something else. I'm Theo and from Buunermond (sometimes spelled as Bunermond), it is dialect for Nieuw Buinen. I could easily pretend that I'm something else by speaking a different language, but that is beneath my level. I don't feel the need to adapt a fake a posh kind of attitude.
@Adrianos Rines ok
This is strong and beautiful! Good luck from Sweden!
I don't even like this style of music but this was my #1 favourite song!

My first reaction: I don't like it, I don't understand it.
But now, after the release of the video, I really like it, especially since I searched for the verse in the chorus and now I understand what it says. The message of the song is very good and the song does not have to be modern to catch on. I really like it!
Congratulations The Netherlands!
Something similar happened to me with some entries.
This is so far by far my favorit entry this year. Great song and an even greater message!
Been obsessed with this song ever since the final, this is so goddamn good and underrated and deserves so much more love.
P. S. Your rhythm is rebellion is such a powerful line
Such lovely, velvety vocals. As a sometimes-disgruntled Catholic woman, my heart is gladdened by that sequence of him getting baptized by women.
Yesterday I was a bit disappointed, because I loved Grow so much. But the more I listen to this song the better it sounds. It's really growing on me. Absolutely love the message. A message of unity, hope and love. The birth of a new age... And love the dancers. Hope that they will be on stage
Met maar 6 personen op het podium, ben ik echt nieuwsgierig naar de uitvoering in mei. Ook het koor moet er zeker bij en ook de dansers...
I can’t stop listening to this song, I think I’m a bit obsessed! 😍 I love all the cultural elements, it’s so powerful 🙌🇳🇱
For its uniqueness, its story and the wholesome singing, this song would definetely deserve the win. I do not think it will reach the first place but Eurovision can actually be quite surprising... so let's see!
Zo benieuwd naar zijn optreden. Kan wel eens voor een surprise gaan zorgen. Zoals met Ilsen en Waylon. Ik hoop t zo.
Staat 32ste in de peilingen, kansloos dus
@@MrJessedg Het kan ook verrassen, dat zou leuk zijn
People just dont feel the beautyful meaning and content of the song. When I first heard it, i didn't like it. But once you get to know what it actually means, you will love it.

my absolute favorite until now. 12 points!!

I love this liric
Mijn hele klas zegt broccoli in plaats van wat hij zegt ilen ik ook
I might be both white and male, but being Queer lets me feel every bit of the soul of this anthem.. It literally makes me choke up singing "You no man broko mi" because I've had to come to that realization to survive most of my adult life. Bless you, Jangu
But why the color of your skin has anything to do with anything makes me wonder... anyways, cheers!
❤️❤️❤️
@@Th3Snipe Because the song is l i t e r a l l y about the effects of colonialism and how many black people were forced to abandon their cultures when they were taken. Their names, religions. It has everything to do with it, and it is beautiful to create such a powerful song of resilience.
@@Th3Snipe because it might be directed at the experience of people of color, but even ** I **, a classic white american man can find incredible liberation in it's message. ALmost every human being has something in their life experience that made them feel trapped, lacking in any freedom.. So anything that helps one break that bond is miraculous.
What just happened here? OMG!!! This is SUPERB. This is ICONIC.
This is my favourite so far!
12 points from the UK 🇬🇧
I WILL CHOOSE THIS SONG

Before all the broccoli spams arrive, I’d like to remind everyone that this is an actual language that people speak and not everything is a joke.

Very well said 👌🙌👏 😍 People inside and outside the Eurovision fandom should remember that this contest has important values : Respect, Tolerance, Diversity and Inclusion. Of course, Peace ☮️ and Love ❤️ too. All the people making bad jokes about the Surinamese culture are racists. No insult should be allowed.
Well done Jeangu - you can be very proud with this song - good luck at ESC21
We knew it wouldnt win but this song had to be sung this year. these meaningfull words had to be heard this year.. Truth can be painfull, telling it won't always get you points.
Very pleased that a Southamerican singer is in Eurovision. Greets from Lima, Peru.
i am very happy to see as many black people as we have this year!
Netherlands has had quite a few singers who have their origin in South America. Check 1966, 1978, 1992, 1993, 1998, 2007 and now 2020/2021.
It’s so underrated already, it hurts
It hurts indeed, but only to my ears...
@@giedo677 shut up, if you don't like the song. Then leave? Its so easy and why bring others down
@@djennamaira He said: "true, but only to my ears." So he means he finds it underrated too. But he doesn't know about the others.
Ps. I wish you luck with your English exams.
Unpopular opinion, but Eurovision is not just the contest for serious discussions, its not for hating other people.. it’s a thing that should bring us all together, our cultures, different countries and different people. First of all, please, just RELAX and have fun already. Stop. Being. So. Boring. Just have fun. No matter what place country will have, matter is the fun they are having. Representation is matter. And, yeah, that song is good. It’s really good and I haven’t seen something like this on Eurovision before. I love the rhythm, I love the lyrics, I love everything about this! Good luck, Netherlands! This song now have special place in my heart 💕🔥

This would fit perfectly as a final hero victory movie theme. Jeangu deserved better!
For people who are saying: we want some songs who promote european culture and not culture from another countries/ continents. As I understood this artist is from Suriname, an ex dutch colony so this sound is a part of European culture as african sounds as many european countries had in the past african colonies as France/ germany/ Holland/ Portugal etc... ( Suriname is in America we know it but I am speaking in general view of Europe history). So I am so glad that this artist make us know or refresh memory of some european people who seems to forget their own history and horrible part of history because slavery/ colonization was no joke! This song is a very good choice! Thank you Holland!
I thought the song was about broccoli culture ;.;
Tobs tobs. I know you hope it was about and I too. Unfortunately you will not erase the dark side of european history.
@@olabay6268 I like the concept of showing this is also European culture, but the song is just messy. But each his own taste I Guess
Hani santa. I have no issue with people who don’t like the song: it is totally ok. But I am not ok with people who dare to say that this song is not reflecting Europe or this song is not at the right place!
