Favourite Non English Songs

[notrevE5]

We all know that music transcends language and a record with a good arrangement and melody is still a good record regardless of the language its sung in

I for one feel an extra thrill and intrigue when I come across a good tune in a foreign language


Here are some of my favourite non English records


Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Padre Nuestro [Spanish]

Rammstein - Da Hast [German]

Solstafir - Dyrafjordur [Icelandic]

Deep Forest - Sweet Lullaby [ Baegu]

Freddie Aguilar - Sa Kuko Ng Aguila [ Tagalog]

Lambada - Kaoma [Portuguese]
