E Shohor Prantor - Bhupen Hazarika

I very rarely listen to songs with English lyrics.

But this does have English lyrics (although minimal) In any case, I love WSH. I have all their CDs (I think, unless they released a new one recently)

And in the last "What song are you listening to?" thread, all I posted were foreign songs anyway, haha...

And finally, the last one I listened to was:

Joe Dassin - Aux Champs Élysées, (obviously) in French

Dégénérations - Mes Aïeux

EDIT: I can't spell French properly.

EDIT2: Now I'm listening to Acoustic Jam - Hoax Emcee (delicious Welsh rap!).

Ilona --- Un Monde Parfait

Pacifika - Me Caí

Qntal - Entre Moi (Single Version)

The latest CD ("Gize Mizan") by Ethiopian pop singer Hamelmal Abate. Love those syncopated 12/8 rhythms.

Трафик – Земфира
Прогулка - Земфира

Pratidhwani Shuni - Bhupen Hazarika

Seu Jorge's Portuguese cover of "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie.

Before that, Sigur Rós's album (), which I guess you can say doesn't have lyrics in any language.

Schtiel - Rammstein (okay, it's an Ария cover)

Ala Ya Ayyohal Saghi by O-HUM

Hmm. The last one I listened to was probably Trøllabundin by Eivør Pálsdóttir.

I believe it was "Ayagoz" by the Kazakh hip-hop group Bakai.

Hopelandic, though that is only babbling (and a bit repetetive at that, jú sælon í sæ jú sólæ jú só ...*).

This is a song by the Austrian band Summoning. It's called Midautas Vras and the lyrics are in the Black Speech. They are really a great band, so listen!!!

Oh , and yes what you're hearing in the song are orc voices.

La Vie En Rose- Edith Piaf

Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien- Edith Piaf (sung by Marion Coutillard)

Some weird German song with an even weirder music videos. Friggin' blowing up toasters and showerheads that stab people to death.

Yay, one of the songs that made me feel like learning Russian (which I did) ...

Krinnen and I cheat, we are not native English speakers (or so I guess ). Anyway, I like listening to music in foreign languages, for example

Kajman - To Jest Kajman

Die Toten Hosen - Zehn Kleine Jägermeister

Токио - Мы будем вместе (We'll be together)

As a general rule, the less I understand the lyrics, the more I enjoy a song.

I've got myself hooked on Operación Triunfo, one of these singing competition series, in Spain, so I've been listening to:

Corazón Partido - OT2008
¿Lo ves? - Pablo
Anything done by Pablo or Manu, really. Just search youtube for 'ot pablo' or whatever.

I mean, most of what they do is covers of other songs, and I suspect the originals are probably better in most cases, but anyway. It's fun. What I enjoy so much about these programmes in Spain is that they're so much more about having a party and having a fun time and being entertaining than being about criticism etc. It's a different approach to what I feel is more common in UK and US things of this sort. La vida es una fiesta - disfrute de ella. Well, it can be?

Swiss radio... so, no idea, and it could have been three or four possible languages...

Currently listening to that Psalm Deward linked to. It's awesome.
