Favourite Foreign Songs

[EmoBorg]

I would like to start this thread where folks can post links to their favourite foreign language songs for all of us to appreciate the incredible and varied beauty of human culture.

These are my first picks.

Feel free to add links to your favourite foreign language songs.

 

[Count Zero]

Almost all the contemporary music I listen to is foreign to me. I suppose, for this to be reasonably exotic, I'd have to post something in my own language.

 

[Avon]

does this count?

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Rammstein - Links 2 3 4

And I realize this is not, technically, a foreign song, although the group itself (Lunascape) is Belgian:

American and British songs are quite foreign for me.

i always liked einsturzende neubautens Halber mensch

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Does it have to be foreign language music?

Most of my current listening are symphonic metal bands which are Finnish, Dutch, German and so on.

But they do sing in English 99.9% of the time.

Other than 99 Luftballoons , it's the only non-English song I can think of.

 

[Count Zero]

All right, here are two songs by Asimos (from Greece). The first one - called 'Oime' - is my favourite song by him but the sound quality of the video I could find is pretty bad so I decided to add a second song which is mainly sung by Soteria Leonardou, though.

[smiki]

I'll also post something non-English. I remembered this one the other day due to obvious reasons.

[Balrog]

Does 'Danke Schoen' by Wayne Newton count?

"I recall Central Park in Fall,
How you tore your dress, what a mess,
I confess..."

 

[Eyes]

One of my favourite pop songs this year, from an amazing Swedish girlband. It's so lively and happy, especially the chorus.

I've really grown to love foreign languages recently, loads of them are beautiful. Finnish, Swedish, Korean, Japanese, Italian and a lot of the Balkan languages are my favourites.

 

[An Officer]

There was a time I used to be quite fond of Bollywood.
