Do you know famous contemporary songs (say no older than your parents) in your language dedicated to, about, or set in other European countries? Would you like to share them?

Curiosity that came to me while listening to Fabrizio De André's "Geordie," the first Italian cover of the ancient British ballad of the same name. It is the story of a certain Geordie who will be hanged in London for stealing deer from the king's park, and the only privilege the king – unable to oppose the law – can give his desperate fiancée is to hang him with a golden rope.
