This was the intro song for civ 4. It is "the Lord's Prayer" in Swahili I think? I'd sometimes just both it up to hear the intro, lol

Yep, both correct. Singing it is rather difficult, as noone here speaks Swahili, and we have to learn the right intonations and pronunciations from YT videos.

I love good lyrics so am not wild about listening to music in a language I don't understand but its kinda common to have songs with english and another language so the stuff I don't understand is just kinda dispersed. Also since I watch animes Im used to having songs that are in a lnguage I don't know. Don't really have a favorite though. All my favorite songs are in english.

I speak/understand Spanish, Icelandic, Dutch, Arabic and German but I ended up listening to Estonian music for a bit and they have some bangers there.

🇪🇪 kanuu by säm

Also, fun note, for a country og 400k Iceland has 3 entries here.

I don't speak any Irish, but I am obsessed with Kneecap at the moment. Some of their lyrics include English of course, some tracks are fully in Irish. Either way, they are great!

Fuck I just discovered Kneecap from the song "Get your Brits out" that was featured on the show Guinness. They did a collab with one of my fav drum and bass artist Sub Focus with "No comment" and it's an absolute banger.

Mahlalela by Letta Mbulu from South Africa

I don't really know what language that is. If somebody could provide a transcription of the lyrics, I would be very happy to finally be able to translate and understand it.

I've never really been into pop music but Gangnam Style was just so much fun and musically interesting.

Does Prisencolinensinainciusol by Adriano Celentano count? It's sung in Gibberish that was meant to sound like an American singing in english to non english speakers.
