This Frederic song was on my feed one day. I had to hunt it down later that week and fortunately it was easy to describe because I found a thread of someone trying to find the same song.
Well I do speak some Spanish but Del Castillo Rios Misticos is such a banger whether you can understand it or not.
The song Inta Omri is gorgeous, look for a Um Kathoum version.
I'm enough of a lyrics person that the language barrier is a pretty big issue when it comes to music but HATRIÐ MUN SIGRA and I si demà no tornara are both undeniable bangers
No idea what this song name is Infected Mushroom - תרקוד לנצח. It's in Hebrew I believe. No idea what it's about, but I think it sounds great. Also Leonard Dembo - Mutadzi Ngaaregererwe. It's just super chill. It's in an African language, can't remember which.
Kasa no Hone - Anathallo
Pretty much anything by Sigur Ros
I like most songs by Carla's Dreams (Romanian/Moldovan + Russian). From eurovision, Shum (Ukrainian) and My sister's crown (English+Ukrainian+Czech+Bulgarian) are pretty good. Slavic languages just sound nice in songs.
Also most pop in catalan (eg. La sortida, escriurem, Ara!).
For something rarer check out Pat Boy who sings in Mayan.
Anything by:
Dir En Grey
Yoshida Brothers
[Bratisla Boys - Stach Stach

I think that for this one we can all agree on "not speaking the language"

I read further down that a user even has a dedicated playlist for these kinds of songs. I should probably start my own.
And I'm afraid this thread is going to keep me busy for a while...
Here are a few examples from my "favorites" playlist:
Youssou N'Dour - Undecided (Japoulo)
Sarà perché ti amo
White Tiger Field (Byakkoya) by Susumu Hirasawa
Traicionera by Sebastian Yatra.
Basshunter, obviously.
Dame veneno by Los Chunguitos.
Olivia Lufkin - Stars shining out
Pretty much anything from Frontside, but especially their album 'Sprawa jest osobista". I have no idea what those poles are singing about, but you can just taste the thick sarcasm through kick ass guitar riffs.
"Ari Im Sokhag", Serj Tankian (system of a down) and Larisa Ryan, very beautiful Armenian song
Literally anything by Thievery Corporation, though a lot of their music is in English
There's a really solid Country Roads cover in the film Whispers of the Heart from studio ghibli
In the early 200x, I was listening to an Argentinean punk rock group called Dos Minutos.
None of the song names really stick out to me (of course), but here's a link to one.
I love several songs by Welle:Erdballs
Here are a few songs that I started listening to:
