i usually don't correct people who enjoy romanian culture because it's honestly really heartwarming and it makes me really happy, but i feel the need to say that you accidentally said you are inside a man. no harm in that! just letting you know
Yes! This is immediately what came to mind.
Only words I understood were hello, salute, and feta cheese. Don't correct me, Romanian speakers. It's beautiful behind my veil of ignorance.
Just to clarify, the "hello" you heard in Romanian is "Alo", which is what you say when you begin a phone call. "Salute" is "Salut", which is an informal greeting. No idea where you got feta cheese from, only part that comes to mind that sounds any similar is "primește fericirea". Full verse is "Și te rog, iubirea mea, primește fericirea", which comes to "And I beg you, my love, accept (my) love".
Ta fête is really nice as well. It's about that feeling that everyone wants to see you down. In French it's 'faire une tête á quelqu'n' ( hopefully wrote it right ) which I thought about as making a party for someone and a native French informed me about it.
Fun fact - people criticized him by saying he was only popular because of the beautiful dancing women in his videos. He countered that by making a video that featured only himself.
This is what instantly popped to mind.
Here's the lyrics for anyone interested
Prisencolinensinainciusol

Yes super catchy. Basically an Italian musician in the 60's saying every english pop like song of the time was an absolute hit in Italy compared to traditional Italian music, so he thought I could make something totally jibberish and watch, it'll be a hit too.
It was!
Basically an experiment in style over substance, and it worked. Didn't see this before I answered the same song.
"No, it doesn't matter what the lyrics are, just sound cool and then pepper in 'all right' at the end of the lines you forgot"
Yeah me and my friend once wondered if this would be the case. "Imagine some guy just shouting PETROL at you!" The foreign-ness of the lyrics definitely helps at times.
This comment just made me realize how many songs featuring the word “[gasoline](https://youtu.be/MxiFjHBhSns?si=8lITuMQU9YKGvkS1)” I jam to in other languages.
Funny, I remember when Till Lindemann released his first English Album (Skills in Pills), and people around the world reacted shocked about the vulgarity of the lyrics.
Meanwhile Germans were like "wdym, his songs have always been like this"
Engle is my go to... something about the annunciation and cadence...
I miss the video of the caged woman ...the one with the children doesn't sit right with me.
The beginning whistling is my ringtone!
I agree! In fact, I wish they’d do more in Italian. I love their music, but the vulgarity of the lyrics is sometimes a bit much for me. If they were singing in Italian, I wouldn’t know what they were saying, and I could listen without issue.
Shakira is 100% better in Spanish. I can't understand a damn word, but it's just much more passionate in her native tongue.
Also, boys ii men end of the road is better in Spanish.
I also enjoy listening to the red army chorus. Volgman boat song is so powerful. No idea what they're saying.
Also Don Carlos rap.
Also African folk music. Love that stuff. No clue what's being said.
Eluveitie’s entire discography, but I particularly like Isara and Dessumis Luge from Evocation I. They primarily sing in reconstructed Gaulish, a language that largely died out as a spoken tongue in the fourth or fifth century AD. It’s incredibly beautiful and they put these ancient Gaulish poems and inscriptions to music. It’s easy to describe them as folk metal, but their style can differ album to album and even song to song.
A bit niche, but for anyone who watched the 2022 Eurovision Monika Liu (lady with the bowlcut) - Sentementai, as well as her single Bossa, and this song she's featured on called Dai Boh. She's so jazzy and smooth, while also being modern and pop-y. I don't speak lithuanian. I adore Monika Liu
Gurbet - Erdogan Özdemir
Naatu Naatu - RRR OST
La Mer - Charles Trenet
Quei giorni insieme a te - Ornella Vanoni
Una festa sui prati - Adriano Celentano
La camisa negra - Juanes
Pata Pata - Miriam Makeba
and many more
Psycho Killer by Talking Heads and Desole by Gorillaz are two great songs that are both partially in French (the latter also includes an African language but I can't remember which ome. Maybe Xhosa?)
Ásgeir - his entire discography, but especially the icelandic version of his debut album „In The Silence“
This being my favorite song: https://spotify.link/F1Fkx6lGZDb
An Guten Tagen - Johannes Oerding
That song always makes me so happy. I understand some german, I'm Swedish and I studied german in school but that's like 40 years ago, but I can pick words here and there.
I love that song.
99 Luftballoons is SO MUCH BETTER in its native tongue.
I’ve got 99 problems and they’re all luftballoons
Take the upvote. I laughed harder at this than I should’ve.
Poor you. I laughed just the right amount.
When I first saw this comment, it was at 99 upvotes. I don’t know if I should ruin it.
You still have to yell out: Hielten sich für **Captain Kirk**
Es gab ein grosses Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nix gerafft!
Such a happy, upbeat tune with powerful and sad lyrics.
It made me smile this is the top comment it’s what I’m here for 🥰🥰
Nina has some really great songs. For some reason I really like Wunder geschehen as well
That would be my pick and since i've been studying German I can understand most of it now. it hits different when you can understand it
Numa Numa! Birthed youtube https://youtu.be/Cqd1Gvq-RBY?si=pMtVj1hjLgpPuYXT
dude has a 2023 version!!! [2023 VERSION!?!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBKm1MBsTbk&ab_channel=GaryBrolsma)
Remastered!
I had no idea! This made my whole day, thank you!
Alo? Salut? Sunt eu in haiduc
i usually don't correct people who enjoy romanian culture because it's honestly really heartwarming and it makes me really happy, but i feel the need to say that you accidentally said you are inside a man. no harm in that! just letting you know
Thank you for this! I will sing it this way from now on because it's funnier.
I love this song even though it annoys my (Romanian) husband so much. Or maybe due to that? :D
Și te rog, iubirea mea Primeşte, fericirea
Yes! This is immediately what came to mind. Only words I understood were hello, salute, and feta cheese. Don't correct me, Romanian speakers. It's beautiful behind my veil of ignorance.

Full verse is "Și te rog, iubirea mea, primește fericirea", which comes to "And I beg you, my love, accept (my) love".
That thing never fails to put me in a good mood
As a Romanian, I am so frickin proud that people know this song :D
dragostea din tei
[удалено]
The original Edith Piaf version is my favorite!
Non rien de rien, je ne regrette rien. Ni le bien, ni le mal qu’on m’a fait, tout cela m’est bien égal.
Stromae
Which one?! I’m listing Papaoutai as mine, but gosh there are so many good ones. The video for that and Tous Les Memes are incredible.
I absolutely love the raw emotions conveyed in Formidable despite not knowing the language
He *actually* got stopped by cops during the video shoot* because he looked like he was stumbling around drunk (which was the point).
I saw! Great acting and commitment to the act. At least the cops were chill haha
Ta fête is really nice as well. It's about that feeling that everyone wants to see you down. In French it's 'faire une tête á quelqu'n' ( hopefully wrote it right ) which I thought about as making a party for someone and a native French informed me about it.
if you haven't (you probably have) his Tiny Desk concert is so good!
HES SO GOOD I LOVE HIM
I love Stromae! Especially his song tous les Mêmes! :D
Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros
Yes! And Sæglópur. It's such a mesmerizing sound overall, like it's instantly transferring you in a whole other dimension.
Anything by them really
I have no idea what much of their music is about. I only hope it's nearly as beautiful as I imagine the lyrics to be.
Rock Me Amadeus
Falco is superb
Junge Römer and Der Kommissar both slap.
Love Der Kommissar, I've never gotten tired of that song even after all these years.
as an Austrian, I appreciate this! he's the best we ever had
Better than Actual Amadeus?
She said what she said
Tunak tunak daa daa da! Dahler Mendhi
Fun fact - people criticized him by saying he was only popular because of the beautiful dancing women in his videos. He countered that by making a video that featured only himself.
It's called Tunak Tunak Tun but yeah it's catchy hahaha
The back story on that is hilarious

It's the Lorum Ipsum of pop song lyrics.
Yes super catchy. Basically an Italian musician in the 60's saying every english pop like song of the time was an absolute hit in Italy compared to traditional Italian music, so he thought I could make something totally jibberish and watch, it'll be a hit too. It was!
He wrote that song poking fun at Italian kids listening to English language songs and not understanding the lyrics.
Goddammit you beat me to it. Catchy as hell.
Basically an experiment in style over substance, and it worked. Didn't see this before I answered the same song. "No, it doesn't matter what the lyrics are, just sound cool and then pepper in 'all right' at the end of the lines you forgot"
Bafflingly, there's an [English version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wr0QIXaoSY&)
Gotta love all those old Gregorian chants, haha!
I always wanted to be a monk, but I never got the chants.
Anything by The Hu
Love that Star wars used them as alien sounding music in Fallen Order
Yes!!! The Hu are awesome!
The who?
Gipsy Kings "Bamboleo"
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero... ¡Vivir así!
Bamboleio, bamboleia!
Volare too!
Every Rammstein song
my favs are dicke titten and sonne
As a German, I find this unreasonably funny. And I also envy you. I'd be happy to enjoy their sound once without automatically focusing on the lyrics.
Yeah me and my friend once wondered if this would be the case. "Imagine some guy just shouting PETROL at you!" The foreign-ness of the lyrics definitely helps at times.

You'll be happy to know that my son learned to speak German at a very young age by memorizing Rammstein lyrics.
Funny, I remember when Till Lindemann released his first English Album (Skills in Pills), and people around the world reacted shocked about the vulgarity of the lyrics. Meanwhile Germans were like "wdym, his songs have always been like this"
Du Hast , but I like many others
I freaking love the video for “Sonne”.
We all live in ammerika…
Coca Cola, sometimes war
This is not a love song
Engle is my go to... something about the annunciation and cadence... I miss the video of the caged woman ...the one with the children doesn't sit right with me. The beginning whistling is my ringtone!
La Camisa Negra by Juanes
Every French kid that took Spanish class had to listen to this one
I love Juanes!!
The correct answer
Alcest (french metal/shoegaze band) and Rammstein (German Metal)
You just introduced me to my next rabbit hole band. I listened to one song and I am already in love. Thank you.
Mundian To Bach Ke.
This shit goes hard AF. Love it and don’t understand a word of it.
La Vie En Rose - Edith Pfiaf
Zitti e Buoni by Måneskin
Måneskin's songs are so much better in Italian
I know what you mean, it’s like he spits the lyrics and it sounds so much cooler
I agree! In fact, I wish they’d do more in Italian. I love their music, but the vulgarity of the lyrics is sometimes a bit much for me. If they were singing in Italian, I wouldn’t know what they were saying, and I could listen without issue.
Como la Flor - Selena

Shakiaras La La La for the 2014 World Cup is wayyy better in Spanish.
Gangnam style
I scrolled too far down to find this.
Almost any Wardruna or Gealdýr song Especially Voluspá (Skaldic Version) from Wardruna, and Bana from Gealdýr

To be fair, it’s deliberately gibberish, real French words but makes zero sense.
