    What is your favorite or current song that is irresistible but in a foreign language? Here is my example (the song is in French):

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apr2WVXwpy4[/YOUTUBE]

    From what I have read and translated, it is about moving on after something that concerns you and living as if the world would end tomorrow. (On a side note, I think that Kyo is awesome).

    That is my example, what are some of foreign songs that you all are into?

    This song, without a doubt. It's hard to say why I like this song so much, but it comes the closest out of any song I know to being "irresistible". It's honestly one of my favorite songs, not just favorite non-English songs

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c5L4IbljrQ[/YOUTUBE]

    Just ignore the occasionally creepy pictures in the video.

    Glad someone likes Kyo on here. I listened to another one of their songs but I forgot the title of it... :icon_sad: Empyr is too hard-rockerish for me, and the main singer of Kyo has a sexy voice, to me anyway.

    True, but it isn't the whole song, which is why I linked to the video I linked to

    I love Ave Maria (Hail Mary) in Latin at Christmastime. Such a beautiful song.

    THIS IS THE BEST SONG OF ALL TIME. And the video is about two boys falling in love.

    I love listening to foreign music...I like French and Spanish. But living in a house where both my parents speak Arabic fluently...I love Arabic the most. I used to know a bit but I only know a few words now...I hope to speak it fluently one day.

    Here's a song by my favorite Arabic singer..

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oejnosDz5tQ[/YOUTUBE]

    And here's another one I really like...and the guy is hot. :thumbsup:

    Well, to me, every English or American song is foreign, but that doesn't count.
    There are a few German songs I like:
    Unzertrennlich by Revolverheld
    Haus am see by Peter Fox

    And a few French songs:
    Il est cinq heure by Jaques Dutronc
    Alors on danse by Stromae
    Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai by Francis Cabrel

    For some reason, this song reminded me of Elissa's song, Ayshalak

    Someone else that has heard of Coeur de Pirate? Cool stuff. :thumbsup:

    The video was nice and the song is still catchy; I wonder what other projects she is working on.
