Language Learning

My favourite song that's in another language would be Prituri Se Planinata by Stellamara.

Fei by Irfan is a close second.

Ado is my favorite singer, nothing can ever come close to her, every song is 10/10 and it gets better with every listen.

Here is one: https://youtu.be/1FliVTcX8bQ

Her music is in Japanese.

My favs change constantly so I'll list a lot of songs. I'll also include lyrics with EN translations because it's useful for language learners.

• [English] Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond (lyrics)
• [English] José Feliciano, Ewan McGregor & Jacek Koman - El Tango de Roxanne (lyrics)
• [French] Cœur de Pirate - Comme des Enfants (lyrics)
• [French] Edith Piaf - Non, Je ne Regrette Rien (lyrics)
• [German] Faun - Tanz mit Mir (lyrics)
• [German] Rammstein - Spring (lyrics)
• [Italian] Giorgio Gaber - Il Dilemma (lyrics)
• [Italian] Renato Russo - Strani Amori (lyrics)
• [Japanese] 梶芽衣子 KAJI Meiko - 悲しくないからふしあわせ Kanashikunaikara fushi awase (lyrics)
• [Japanese] Creepy Nuts - Mirage (lyrics)
• [Latin] 野間久美子 NOMA Kumiko - Lilium (lyrics)
• [Polish] Kayah and Bregović - To nie Ptak (lyrics)
• [Portuguese] Engenheiros do Hawaii - Herdeiro da Pampa Pobre (lyrics)
• [Portuguese] Nenhum de Nós - Camila, Camila (lyrics)
• [Spanish] Mecano - Hijo de la Luna (lyrics)
• [Spanish] Carlos Gardel - Por una Cabeza (lyrics)

Note: I'm listing the versions I like the best, not necessarily the originals. And in two cases (Strani Amori and Lilium) they are not sung by native speakers.

99 Luftballons

Oye como va by the great Carlos Santana

But lately i’ve also been listening to Bad Bunny’s album DTMF. Lo que le pasó a Hawaii is so fucking good.

Outside of spanish i really like all of The Hu’s songs but Yuve Yuve Yu and Sugaan Essanna are definitely their best imo.

Also can’t forget the classic Edith Pief song Non, je ne regrette rien if i’m in the mood for a classic.

Où va le monde by La Femme : https://lafemmeressort.bandcamp.com/track/o-va-le-monde

Since you're writing in English I assume you mean other as non English ones. Look up Gå & Fiska with Gyllene Tider. (It's Swedish). Great song

Good question from @Monster96@lemmy.world that came up on AskLemmy, thought it was appropriate to share here.

На заре (1987) - Альянс
I find it to be profoundly melancholic... (Also, the vocal range of Igor here is insane)

Tourner dans le vide (2014) - Indila
Translated subtitles included from French

PotatOS Lament (2011) - Portal 2 OST
I like Latin, albeit this being pseudo-Latin with a mix of Italian, for the fact that so much can be said with so little.

In the scope of language learning, as I'd sing along, usually the ones with great focus on voice, intonation and breath control and that aren't drowned by instruments, like sea shanties, acapellas, and some powermetal songs like Týr's Sinklars Vísa.

I don't really know if I can say it's my favorite, but I've really been digging this Viking berserker war chant I heard recently.
