Love this thread. Here are some of my favs off the top of my head. My music tastes are all over the place.
Omg Dakhabrakha’s baby is one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard. The lyrics are in Ukranian but can be vaguely understood from Russian and damn they hurt. You might’ve already seen but here is the English translation
searched for Elis Regina - Aguas de Marco before I posted it, glad to see it's here. such a beautiful song
Cocteau Twins. I'm pretty sure she just gave up using actual words entirely at some point.
Rammstein - Du Hast
The entirety of NieR and NieR Automata's vocal tracks. Most of them are actually just gibberish.
Ederlezi
Asilos Magdalena by Mars Volta
I like all their stuff, but that’s the only one I can think of that is completely in Spanish
Ave Maria
some of the ones that spontaneously come to my mind are:
- 99 luftballons
- Ievan polkka
- Cannabis
- Naruto's second opening
The whole genre of City Pop is awesome.
Rammstein - all songs 🙂
There are a lot of operas that I thoroughly enjoy that are largely in Italian that are just incredibly moving. Pavarotti singing Pagliacci is insanely moving, as one example.
Too much kpop and jpop to list, but Kent (swedish) has a lot of good songs: Stanna Hos Mig, 400 Slag
Great thread - I'll throw in a few although I'm late to the party.
Gaspar Nali - Abale Ndikuwuzeni
Anything from the Afro-Cuban All Stars or Buena Vista Social Club albums
Orchestra Baobab - Sey
Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor mix)
Lexicon Avenue - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix)
Jane Air, Junk
Rammstein, Moskau
Afterhours, Vedova Bianca (There's an English version that was used in Mr. Robot)
I would normally just go with an Infected Mushroom tune (there are a few in Hebrew like Lost in Space which also has Arabic at the end), but I challenged myself to think beyond my regular playlist, and Disko Partizani was the first that came to mind (partly in English, but otherwise in Romanian, I'm pretty sure).. Great tune and it's been ages since I gave it a listen, so thanks for the reminder!
I'm sure there are more examples, but my mind is drawing a blank right now.. This is going to bug me all evening lol

I really like the French national anthem.
Pretty partial to Japanese pop myself. I'm learning Japanese partially so i can understand the songs. Yoasobi's songs are a good general recommendation, I would recommend Yoru ni Kakeru, Gunjou, and Seventeen.
Gangnam Style, O Fortuna (Carmina Burana), stuff by Hildegard von Bingen
Malagueña Salerosa from the Kill Bill soundtrack.
Most things by Snow Tha Product - start with 'Butter' or 'No Cap In My Captions'.
Nearly all songs by Akatsuki Records, Ado, CrazyBeats, Hololive productions, MoeShop and some other japan based Artists.
I listen to quite a decent amount of French music

I really like Hippie Hourrah out of Montreal - this song has been on repeat in my house for a while now:

Ichiko Aoba - Windswept Adan. The whole album is magical.
