PROBABLY svefn-g-englar by sigur ros

Helvegen by Wardruna. https://youtu.be/DD65K4VR6Lw

Though, Rotlaust Tre Fell is a close second. https://youtu.be/zjmu6ufn8iU

Even after all these years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wkuqRFXNvI

That. Video. Is. Horrifying.

As in the nineties CGI, or the story? I always found it very... poetic, in the symbolism they're going for if I'm interpreting it correctly.

Re: What is your favorite song in a language that is not your own?

La Bicicleta by Shakira and Carlos Vivos

Uh, define "your own"? Like, it's not an official language of my country, or it's a language I don't speak? #polyglotproblems

For nostalgic purposes alone, it's Saskatchewan by Les Trois Accordes

Thomas Mapfumo - Ndangariro

I only know like 10 words of Russian but Katyusha is the best

Ça Plan Pour Moi

"Kimi ga Kureta Mono" by Home Made Kazoku.

I can honestly only think of one piece of music in general that I have on my playlist that is not in a language of my own. But it's pretty fucking epic:

I love this version too. The set is pretty amazing.

Edit: There is another one! Seerauber Jenny:

German is such a good language for songs of battle

Nothing beats Hildegard Knef's take on Seeräuber Jenny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppiVzmPX_BI

That is good. She has a nice strong angry voice for it.

Can't single out just one, so I'll just point to the entire Calling All Dawns - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR_rKSTM43I

Who If Not I? by TEMA. I'm going to link it in the form I first encountered it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo5HbxhuXog

Salif Keita and Cesaria Evora - Yamore
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iPTDpQ66rwc

I do understand the bits of Portuguese, but not the rest of it. It's a beautiful song that makes my heart feel.

G-Dragon, 'Heartbreaker'.
He's like...this fluffy little kitten, showing his wee fangs and teeny claws and puffing up his bitty tail in the hopes of coming across as *so tuff*.

Gangam Style, Vandraren (though the first version I heard was an English translation), Caramelldansen, "Me Me Me'", the whole "Reise Reise" and "Mutter" albums by Rammstein, and this song:

Wait what?! "Vandraren" has an English translation? Where? That song was played so much back in -94, it was friggin everywhere.

Yeah, it's titled "Journeyman" and the version I first heard was by Blackmore's Night, a folk music band.

Seconding! Though it was one of the few times I didn't get tired of a song because of overexposure.

Literally the only song I can think of that isn't in a language I speak, but that I still enjoy, is Gangam Style. So I guess that. I'm all about the lyrics when it comes to music (like, I have 2K songs on my hard drive, and only three of them are instrumental, that's how much I'm all about the lyrics), so for me, a song I can't understand when I hear it is not something I'm interested in.

I just like Gangam Style because of all the fandom parody vids and gifs and stuff that people made from it.
