What's your favorite music in a language you don't understand?

[Abyss]

I love a lot of Japanese music, even if I don't speak the language. It's something I happen to enjoy. I guess because even if it's in a different language, I can still pick up on the timbre and the kind of key it's in (Major/minor). That sort of thing is universal regardless of origin.



This song for example sounds very somber, even if I don't speak the language.

I have to agree with Enya - Aníron. The Lord of the Rings music is superb in general. I also like these songs:

Any Japanese hit will make me learn the lyrics pronunciation but not understanding a word I'm singing lol

[DarkSkies]

This one is french and I very much liked it since the first time I heard it ❤️

I came to the song while searching for some AMVs about Romeo & Juliet anime, a nice finding must say

I've been listening to Vocaloid since I was a little kid and I currently like Eve a lot (he is a Utaite that has done some Vocaloid covers). Among my favorites are these two (Tokyo Ghetto and We're Still Underground):




I also really like this future funk/vaporwave-y song (永遠の愛 or Endless Love by synchro//start), which samples Space Scraper by Toshiki Kadomatsu:

I think I could mention some songs in Japanese or Korean, but if I had to choose a song in particular, it would be this one, I don't speak German, but this song will always make me sing!!!!

This is my partner's certified "current jam" that he WON'T stop playing and now it has really grown on me too. I really love the rhythm and melody but have not a clue what they're saying! (Pretty sure they're a filippino band?)

Aaaah what a fun thread!!! I'm enjoying reading everyone's answers.

I love listening to a lot of different music in different languages but I will pick this song from NieR Replicant/Gestalt!!


It's such a beautiful sounding song and there are a few versions of it depending on what you're doing in the game. I read somewhere that music from the games is a combination of a few different languages and I think it all comes together so beautifully.
The whole soundtrack to both R/G and Automata are just gorgeous.

I'm a big fan of Japanese music and French music. I think both languages just sound really beautiful and melodic already and lend well to music.
I love both this song and this music video but fyi NSFW:

This song is such a banger. Reminds me of old school anime and just gives off good vibes and puts me in a happy mood, even though I don't understand the song
