Do you listen to music with lyrics in other languages?

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Well, most of my songs are in English, but I do have some German, courtesy of Rammstein, and a bunch of J-Pop and J-Rock, as well as a handful of Korean songs as well.

And no, I don't understand them for the most part, I just like the songs.

 

[Lunar Shadow]

I listen to Korpiklaani, who do a good chunk of their songs in Finnish

 

[Danik93]

i listen to some J-rock (Girugumesh,Mucc and Dir en Grey) German bands (OOMPH,Rammstein,Polarkreis 18, Peter Fox) and lots of Swedish music (because i live in Sweden )

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I do!

Rammstein [german], Bondage Fairies [german], Manegarm [swedish/ norwegian], random J-rock bands [Japanese and french depending on how [pretty they are] and, there are a couple of songs on my Zine that are in Spanish ...

 

[Cowabungaa]

I enjoy listening to the Gypsy Kings, which has Spanish lyrics. I can't understand a word of it, but Spanish guitar is really pretty.

 

[Stoic raptor]

I have Arabic songs, but Im Arabic.
I also have some Mexican songs, those are some good songs.

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

I listen to bass hunter who has two songs in sweedish... DOTA and Boten Anna

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Yes. Turisas. Also, I'm Christian, and I really don't think there is any Satanic messages in that song.

 

[Lordmarkus]

Well, since I'm Swedish I find myself listening to songs in that language from time to time. Then it is also the occasionel english (like 95 % of my iTunes Library) russian (Red Army Choir) and German (Rammstein).

I listen to bass hunter who has two songs in sweedish... DOTA and Boten Anna

Thank God we got rid of him and his audio poisioning. One song, and he was exiled.

 

[That One Six]

Yeppers. Rammstein is all German.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

Sigur Ros (Iceland) and Dionysos (France) are two of my favorite bands so... yes?

 

[TheColdHeart]

I sometimes listen to music in other languages, Rammstein being one of the bigger bands in my collection. Sometimes its nice to listen to music for how it sounds without constantly trying to hear and understand lyrics.

 

[Fbuh]

I listen to a lot of European and Japanese music. Basically, if it has a nice sound, I'll listen to it. However, I did notice that I have very little American music on my ipod, which is interesting considering that I'm American. I honestly don't like modern American music. I think that most of it is crap. I've even made up a new word for it: fagyodeling. Fagyodeling describes (mainly) bands mike Fallout Boy and My Chemical Romance. No offense to you if you listen to those bands, but I hate those bands, if I may loosely apply to term to them.

Translation of Die Eier von Satan (that I got from a lyrics site so it could have mistakes).

Spoiler

The Eggs/Balls of Satan

Half a cup of powdered sugar
One quarter teaspoo salt
One knifetip Turkish hash
Half a pound butter
One teaspoon vanilla-sugar
Half a pound flour
150 g ground nuts
A little extra powdered sugar
... and no eggs

Place in a bowl
Add butter
Add the ground nuts and
Knead the dough


Form eyeball-size pieces from the dough
Roll in the powdered sugar
and say the Magic Words:
"Sim sala bim bamba sala do saladim"

Place on a greased baking pan and
Bake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes
...AND NO EGGS

Bake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes
...and no eggs.

that is mostly correct translation of the song, my german is off but if you listen to it carefully you can hear a lot of the shared words german has with english

EDIT: Hocico, they are from Mexico and sing in Spanish and sometimes in English.

there i fixed that for you, they mostly sing in Spanish, they can't speak a lot of English at all, unless that's changed, i met them in Toronto a few years ago and they couldn't speak english at all

as for me

German singing:

Rammstein
Das Ich
Melotron
And One - tho they mostly sing in English

Finish:

Finntroll
Korpaklanni

there is also Mike Patton who will sing in Italian, Spanish or Portuguese

also Seputura will sing in Portuguese as well, at least older stuff when Max was still with them

 

[masher]

Yep. Japanese and German songs.

 

[Arehexes]

L'arc~en~Ciel, Asain Kung-fu Generation, UVERWorld, Black Mages, TM Revolution.

 

[Skeleon]

Well, yes, most music I listen to is in English after all.
But I also have a few Spanish, Japanese, French and German songs.

 

[feebstalicious93]

[DrDeath3191]

J-Pop, K-Pop, and good old Sweedish techno. Good stuff.
