Thank you! This would have been my second choice for a country/song combo, but the OP isn’t allowing more than one per Doper.
That is true, but please remember that two people might pick the same song for the same country, and that is certainly allowed. “Me, too!” is much more preferred over “I was gonna say “A”, but since that was already picked, I guess I’ll have to go with “B”, sorry”.
Got it. No, I’m glad for my own pick. Sorry if I broke the rules in congratulating someone else for theirs.
Congratulate away! Just remember that your own pick is singular.
Argentina: (Especially in these times, but all the other times too): Cambalache (1935) by Enrique Santos Discepolo:
That the world was and always will be filth,
I already know…
In the year five hundred and six
and in the year two thousand too!
There always have been thieves,
traitors and victims of fraud,
happy and bitter people,
values and duplicity
But, that the twentieth century
is a display
of insolent evil,
nobody can deny anymore.
We live sunk in a meringue
and in the same mud
all well-worn…
Today it happens it is the same
to be decent or a traitor!
To be an ignorant, a genius, a pickpocket,
a generous person or a swindler!
All is the same! Nothing is better!
They are the same, an idiot ass
and a great professor!
There are no failing grades or merit valuations,
the immoral have caught up with us.
If one lives an imposture
and another, in his ambition, steals,
it’s the same if it’s a priest,
a mattress maker, a king of clubs,
a cad or a tramp.
What a lack of respect,
what a way to run over reason!
Anybody is a gentleman!
Anybody is a thief!
Mixed with Stavisky, you have Don Bosco (Catholic saint)
and La Mignon
don Chicho (Mafia don) and Napoleon,
Carnera (boxer) and San Martin (founding father).
Like in the disrespectful window
of the bazaars,
life is mixed up,
and wounded by a sword without rivets
you can see a Bible crying
next to a water heater.
Twentieth century, bazaar
problematic and feverish!
If you don’t cry, you don’t get fed
and if you don’t steal, you’re a stupid.
Go ahead! Keep it up!
That there, in hell
we’re gonna reunite.
Don’t think anymore,
move out of the way.
Nobody seems to care
if you were born honest.
That is the same the one who works,
day and night like an ox,
than the one who lives from the others’ work,
than the one that kills or heals
or the one who lives outside the law.
The second stanza sounds a little like a Borges poem, appropriately.
Figuring out the one song for your own country is hard. I’ve been working on mine since yesterday, and so far nada.
It’s impossible to select only one, but what I did was the select, out of many, the one that fits the (my?) current mood.
I’d have one for my country, and also one for the USA, but according to @Czarcasm’s rules I’ve fulfilled my quota and am not allowed to post them. Bummer.
No, as far as I understand you can do one song per country and one song per post, and since you’ve done neither your country nor the U.S. yet, feel free to fire away.
Ah, well, I understood the OP as only allowing one post/country per poster. In this case, here’s my nomination for Germany. I don’t know if it represents my country the best, in the light of all the horrible crimes we did in history, but as a lifelong optimist I want it to be representative:
Ode To Joy (Ode an die Freude) - Music: Beethoven, Lyrics: Schiller
And I could say something similar about my nomination for the USA:
This Land Is Your Land - Woody Guthrie
That is more in the spirit of this thread. I’m just trying to avoid the postings of lists that just discourage others from posting.
Thanks for the clarification to both of you. 
Never mind
