Anyone have any good songs in different languages (other than English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean) they wanna share? I love music in tongue other than my own, especially ones I'm not used to. Why can't it be the four listed above? Because those are the ones we hear the most and this thread is more about the uncommon ones (when in the Vocaloid/Anime fandoms). It can be sung by a Vocaloid or just an ordinary singer, whichever you like, just have it be in a different language. I guess I can start to get the idea put down. Here's some of my favorites: COMA - Tagalog / COMA - Filipino Spoiler Guten Morgen, liebe Sorgen - Deutsch / Good Morning, Dear Worries - German Spoiler Bésame - Español / Kiss Me - Spanish (I hear this one on the radio all the time, one of my favorite songs of all time!) Spoiler مين يا حبيبي - العربية / Meen Ya Habibi - Arabic Possibly means "My Darling"? Spoiler
Perhaps you should watch Eurovision Song Contest then ^^ Most European countries participate with a song each and a winner is chosen by the people. Nowadays most songs are in English but there are still those performing in their own tongue. The style of music doesn't really fit me but it's become a tradition to watch it every year. Besides that, hm, I do enjoy some Rammstein occasionally x) I feel like I should recommend some Swedish songs, it's pretty hard... It's not that beautiful a language and most music sucks in my opinion (you've heard Caramelldansen, right...?) I could recommend Kent, a band I listened to when I was younger. They're known for having pretty strange lyrics x) Kent - Dom Andra (The Others) /Swedish Kent - FF /Swedish + a bit of French Also... This is actually a song that competed to be in the Eurovision Song Contest, I think it came 2nd place in Sweden 2005. One of the few songs I enjoy despite not being my preferred genre (if you haven't guessed I prefer rock/metal xP) Nanne Grönvall - Håll om mig (Hold me) /Swedish There :D Now you can listen to some Swedish music! I can also recommend random old Disney-song in Swedish, they used to be really good. Either I grew up or they really stopped trying...
I really liked the first one! (New song obtained on iPhone!) And I love listening to Disney music in other languages, preferably German. My favorite Disney song would have to be Let it Go by FAR, it sounds so much like a Broadway song. It's really fun to say "Die Kälte, sie ist nun ein Teil von mir"
Agreed, Frozen is the Disney movie I've been waiting for all my life, I love snow and winter because of its beauty ^^ The reason I say listen to old Disney songs in Swedish is because I was very disappointed in the our version of Let it Go... so not beautiful >.< A film that was really good though is The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the singing voices are amazing and the translation is almost on par with the English version :)
