Do you listen to music with lyrics in other languages?

All the time... all the good metal is in foreign languages. I've got music in Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Faroese, etc...

Being German myself, almost everything I listen to has lyrics written in a language that is not my own. Listing them all might get tedious.

Still, there's "In Extremo". They're a German band, but they have lyrics in German, English, French, Danish, Hungarian and Latin. Check 'em out, barrels of fun. xD
Here's one of their songs (Latin lyrics): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8HXY45jZOo

I listen to soundtracks a lot: I do so for the quality of the music as well as the emotional connection I gained from watching/playing the source. This includes a lot of anime, so there is a good amount of Japanese music I will listen to despite the fact that I cannot understand the words.

L'arc~en~Ciel!!
Asian Kung-Fu Generation!! :D

<3!!
Awesome another fan *thumbs up*.
Very true: "Haruka Kanata" and "Ready Steady Go" for the win. And of course it's all about the Black Mages! I'd add "Nightmare" to the list as well (the group responsible for the first opening and closing themes for Death Note).

Considering I speak 3 languages well and another 2 passably, I'd say yes.

So, music with lyrics in my native language, finnish. Music in swedish, and german (Kent and Rammstein among others) and english. Sometimes I do download a good anime intro piece if I happen to hit the mood for japanese lyrics. Spanish lyrics aren't my thing, even though I do speak the language a bit.

And with the exception of japanese, I understand most of the lyrics during the first time I listen to the song.

I'm Swedish, and most of the music I listen to is in English or Japanese.

I currently have 0 non-english songs.

I enjoy lyrics, and if I can't understand them because they're in a totally different language I don't wanna listen.

I listen to lots of Japanese music. Since I can barely understand what is being sung in English most of the time, I might as well just pick the music that I like the most.

Mostly japanese bands such as uverworld, nightmare, flow, access and yui whose actually a single singer.

And a few rammenstein songs.

I don't know how many times I have posted this song but I love it.
