I enjoy culture, music, and language... so music from across the globe sounds like something I'd love to have more exposure to~

Please give me some good songs, your favorite songs, that aren't in English. I don't care what language. something other than kpop would be nice but i mean go ahead if you you want >_>

I don't have one particular favorite song. You can check out the rate song thread, I sometimes post non-english songs.

Currently i'm enjoying this song very much, it's from a k-drama series that i'm watching.

I listen to music in way too many different languages to make a choice like this even remotely accurately. So here's several songs that I greatly enjoy, all from different languages.

Italian


Japanese


Finnish


German


Russian


Swedish


Danish


Sami


Proto-Germanic? Old-Norse? I have conflicting accounts of what language this is...


That's what I can think of at the top of my head...

That’s easy to answer. As an arab, I say there are a lot of great arab artists out there. One of my favorites is Wael Jassar. His songs have so much emotion and can resonate with many. This is one of his iconic songs.



the English subtitles are subpar at best but serviceable

I've been listening to a lot of songs by Kenshi Yonezu lately. The first was probably what he sang for the opening credits of BNHA (song called "Peace Sign"), and when I looked up the rest they were all super catchy, at least to me. "Lemon" "Loser" "Shunrai" are my other favourites ^^

His whole album "Bootleg" is great

I have a lot of faves from Japanese and Spanish (my native tongue) language so I wouldn't post all.

However, here's a song from another language outside of Japanese and Spanish that I find catchy.



I don't know what language is this. I think it's Hungarian.

Chinese: Rainie Yang - "Bu Jian", Priscilla Chan - "Sha Nu", Jin Sha - "Magic of Love".


German: Peter Schilling - "Die Wüste lebt"; Kraftwerk - "Das Model"; Wolfgang Petry - "Wahnsinn"

French: Alizee - "Moi Lolita" and "J'en Ai Marre" and Desireless - "Voyage Voyage"

Japanese: Sun & Lunar - "NON STOP!", Syrufit - "Descending from the Skies She Appears as a Goddess", Kana little Sister OST - "Believe" (contains image spoilers from the VN)


@Nithirel @FacelessVixen: I like "Sonne" and "Benzin" and "Ohne dich" the most from them.


@Haittakari: "Die Ärzte" are a great band. Don't know the particular song, but it's great. I also particularly like "Lasse red'n" and "Westerland" from them.

I don't know what language your last video is exactly, but I find Old Germanic songs appealing as well. For instance: In Extremo - "Herr Mannelig" (insert song in the video game "Gothic"; sung in older Swedish) and "Merseburger Zaubersprüche 2" (sung in Old High German)


@darven: I prefer normally male voices when it comes to German (and English) songs, but "Faun" seems to be quite good. A random song that I happened to find some months ago is "Der verzauberte Wald" by Shei. Else, I like i.a. LaFee - "Prinzesschen" and "Virus", Wir Sind Helden - "Nur ein Wort", Rosenstolz - "Ich bin ich (Wir sind wir)" and Nicole - "Ein bisschen Frieden".

@Noboru I've listened to German music only recently, so I only know a few bands, although Faun was one of my favorites for sure.

I am a fan of deep male voices, such as Disturbed, FFDP and The White Buffalo. This lead me to liking this specific German song Verrückt , although they are not from a genre I particularly like.

One band I can easily tell I've fallen in love with is Blutengel. About the ones you cited, I did like Der verzauberte Wald and Ich bin ich (Wir sind wir), most Shei though !

There’s a lot of Japanese Vocaloid songs and anime openings I like and listen to a lot, no favorites, I love a lot of these songs. I’ve also listened to quite a bit of spanish music because I’m learning that language. Here’s a song in Spanish I’ve liked even before I started learning the language and I still like today

@darven: The English songs seem to go in the direction of Punk. In that case, something like Die Toten Hosen - "Hier kommt Alex" would be the first song that comes to mind.

If you like Eisbrecher, have you heard "This is Deutsch"?

For general deep voice songs in German, you could try the Rammstein songs that have been mentioned in my initial posting above or from the others, Unheilig - "Geboren um zu leben", Freddy Quinn - "So ist nun einmal das Leben" (best deep voice imho.) and Einstürzende Neubauten - "Nagorny Karabach".

Also this song ("Gisela") by Horst Schlämmer (a comedian) also contains a deep voice.

@Noboru

I tried to listen to some of Eisbrecher songs, though only Verrückt captivated me. Rammstein was one of the first recommendations I received, somehow I really dislike them.

I did like your recommendations, Geboren um zu leben has been on repeat for some time now ! thanks thanks.

@darven

You are very welcome! :)

For me, only "This is deutsch" captivated me from Eisbrecher. I barely know them.

Rammstein is fairly popular, but taste is not universal.

That "Geboren um zu leben" song sounds good to me as well, but I've never got an earworm out of it, compared to quite a lot of other German songs.

But I'm greedy, so a few more:
Jorge Ben - Errare Humanum Est
Erkin Koray - Hele Yar
El Polen - Mi Cueva
Kim Jung Mi - The Sun

I can't choose a favorite YYT song, but would be remiss not to include them: Yura Yura Teikoku - Became a Star
