Songs in another language

[Hiatus]

Whatever I listen is mostly English, but all in all, though, I'd listen to pretty much any song--regardless of what language it is--as long as it sounds good to my ears. :] I've heard a few Bollywood and West Bengal songs before, and each and every one of them were equally as fantastic. One of my most favorite would be this; very soothing.

I have listened to Japanese, Chinese, Korean and English (surprise surprise).

I'll be honest, those songs are much more earworming than Indonesian songs.

But Japanese is my #1 language when it comes to music. As for lyrics, I am at least knowledgable enough in Japanese to translate bits of the songs. English is my first language though, so I have to trouble with them. Chinese and Korean... not so much. xDD

 

[Legobricks]

I prefer lyrics I won't understand as I'm hearing them, then they aren't annoying and blend in well enough with the music. Finnish is the most songworthy language imo.

I listen to many songs in different languages. In fact, they take up about 70% of my iPod. I find them more catchy than the Western music nowadays.

At the moment, I'm listening to French, Japanese and Swedish music. I definitely try to find translations of the songs to find out what they mean. I love languages and I find them fascinating.

I don't usually care about lyrics. They're kind of filler in a lot of ways. Sometimes they're catchy or unusually interesting, which is great, but as long as they aren't so bad that they're a distraction I'm not too concerned about them or what language they're in.

I just like hearing the music and vocals that go well with the music.

Most of my songs are in English, although I have couple that are in Japanese. I don't really listen to the Japanese ones that much, though. I prefer listening to lyrics that I understand.

Other than songs that the lyrics are in English, I do have songs on my iPod that are in other languages. The songs that I have in other languages on my iPod are in Japanese, Korean, and German. I actually do like listening to songs in other languages that I am not fluent in. As for why I listen to them is because I to find them cool.

As for what songs I have in other languages, here is what ones they are:
Japanese: Sorairo Days, Colors, Dancing in the Velvet Moon, A Cruel Angel's Thesis
Korean: Gangnam Style
German: We All Live in Amerika, Du hast

I listen to a lot of Japanese Rock. Well, not all of the time... but I do on occasion. I hardly ever check the lyrics unless I am really moved by them. Like, the song Tomorrow Never Dies by the GazettE. This song moves me because it's about suicide. This is both the english and japanese version lyrics. I used to be really into j-rock until I ran into these friends who claimed to be real j-rockers, only to find out they were indeed fake. (Believe me, they are GOOD at fooling people. =.=)

Another band I like, and I think are so cute is LM.C. They are so cute and have many catchy songs. <3 I can't name every song I like by them, but I really love listening to them.

oh man, I love it! my native language is spanish so I listen to both spanish and english... but I love listening to french music, and i have a few songs in languages from Africa and eastern Europe :)

 

[Ivysaur]

I can listen to (a small amount of) Japanese songs if the rhythm is good enough. I don't tend to care at all for the lyrics though. They might be calling me all sorts of things, I won't even bother looking up for a translation XD

 

[Leviathan]

Though I seldom listen to songs dubbed in other languages these days, I would welcome new foreign songs if I enjoy their melody. Lyrics are secondary; I can appreciate a good tune even if I don't understand what's been said.

There's a channel on Youtube called TG Lurgan that I really like. They dub a lot of mainstream songs into Irish, and while I have a better chance of understand Spanish than my own native tongue, I really enjoy their rendition of "Can't Hold Us."
