Your favorite song but not in english ?

hello

what is Your favorite song but not in english ?

i'll start with this one .....

I don't know a lot of songs that aren't in english but the ones I tend to like are song like those by Astrud Gilberto or some samba/cocktail music type stuff...

I don't listen to much in other languages, but do have a great liking for French songs, many of which were given new lyrics and turned into standards such as When The World was Young, What Now My Love. I do love Milord - particular Darin's brassy versions - and also another Piaf song, Je n'en Connais Pas la Fin

The English language version by Jeff Buckley is exquisite:

As well as being a terrific actor and a splendid producer, Andy Lau is a great vocalist and I really enjoy his music.

My all time favorite from 1963 "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto. The only Japanese song that sold 13 million copies internationally.
Everytime I listen to this tune, I suddenly become very hungry for some sushi & rice.

Wooden Heart I like the english and non engish parts.

Perhaps the most popular chinese love song

And Here's Kenny G's cover

and here's Summer Kisses, Winter Tears in Chinese, notice the melody sounds so oriental.

In the early 1980's there was Nena 99 Luft (Red) Balloons done in english and germen. Didn't understand a word of it but she was so-o-o sexy!!!

O Sole Mio by Sherrill Nielsen.

I could listen to it all day.

Little Darlin' - Elvis Presley

To be fair, Got a lot of livin' to do also seems to be in a foreign language in places!

Our oldest daughter is practising for a dance-event at school, and she has been playing this song all the time for the past weeks!
And, well, I gotta admit, it's pretty catchy.

Nice clip, a very pretty lady, and the guy is wearing the Jailhouse Rock jacket.

Hymn a l 'amour by Edith Piaf

Perdere L'Amore, sung by Massimo Ranieri.

My all time favourite song (even including the songs in English), Que C'est Triste Venise by Charles Aznavour:

This is still a cool tune!
