Do you listen to songs sang in other languages?

yes i do. i am in a band and when we play abroads we need to play atleast some local music on that country. also that anime is very popular i also listen to it specially the songs that are played on my favorite anime series.

A great deal of the music I listen to is in a different language. I listern to a lot of electronica, industrial etc which is way more popular in Europe than on this side of the pond, so a lot of it is German, Belgian etc....I've always preferred the actual music to the lyrics, so this is fine for me

i do i like music in spanish

I do, but not as much as many others do. In fact,many years ago I just didn't want to listen any songs that I couldn't understand the lyrics. but then the range has been increased because I have improved my english so much since that time and that helped me to understand the songs in english. but that still doesn't mean I am listening to the songs written in other languages because although by native language is Turkish, I am listening the English songs because I understand them but if we should mention about other languages that we don't understand, then flamenco makes it true for me. I have started studying spanish a few months ago but I didn't have the time to improve my spanish a lot, so I doN't understand it yet but I still listen to flamenco songs, the lyrics are still important for me. I just don't understand them but the way the vocals sing the song is important and I would like to learn that too. I am also an amateur guitarist, and interested in flamenco style but I can't say I am good at it yet. I hope one day I will have a chance to improve myself both on flamenco and spanish. Would love to sing and play those songs :) By the way, my favourite flamenco musician is Paco de Lucia. He is a true legend and I love , I adore his style! I wish my spanish was good enough to understand the songs which had lyrics.

I would listen to Spanish songs. They sound romantic. And I could understand a little of that language! But if I don't understand the language then I dont think I would listen to it.

yes in church were i attend mass the latin songs are sung... i didnt first understand latin but thru the years i learned some latin prayers.... which is part to the tridtine mass liturgy...

I guess I only have less than 5 foreign songs, I mean English is foreign to us but aside from english like chinese or japanese songs. I like "Because I'm a Girl" by Kiss. I like "Life as a Boat" by Rei Fu. And I guess that's all. They're both mellow, "Because I'm a Girl" is a love song and "Life as a Boat" is a song about life and all that.

I absolutely do. I love all kinds of music and have a large collection of music from all over the world. I was heavily influenced by some of my dance teachers who exposed us to new music authentic to its different countries of origin. I also have baby fluency in French and am learning German, and since I love music, it helps me learn the language much faster since I can correlate it with a close passion of mine.

i love different Japanese songs, special those songs from animes. like the song "let me be with you" from the anime "chobits". i really like it even thou i can't understand what its lyrics is all about, and you know even thou i can't understand it i have still memorized its lyrics. hehe i really love that anime.

Yes, I have listened to songs sung in Italian, Spanish, Turkish and Thai. I might not have always understood them but I wold always enjoy singing along to them. Usually when the singers have a feeling for their songs as you say you don't need to understand the words, you just get an idea of what you think they are singing about. Emotions are very, very powerful. Thanks for sharing this idea with us.

Yeah I listen to music in English French Spanish and Italian. I don't understand every word but ... most of the time that doesn't matter if it's a good song I'll still get that vibe. Socrates or Plato I forget at the moment which used to say that we should fear music changing because as it did so would our societies. I personally don't fear music changing as it just always does, but i think that shows how seriously people take music for it's power to move people.

Yes, I do. In fact, they help me to learn other languages too. Whenever I like a song, I will look up the meaning. So, it's like gaining a new knowledge, learning while having fun.

I listen to songs in different languages as well... sounds cool.

Yes I do. I love listening Japanese music. Actually, it started when I became an anime enthusiasts. I like listening to it and sometimes I even sing it. Because of anime, I became more interested and studied some basic nihonggo for me to understand some of the lyrics. Recently, I'm also listening to Korea and Chinese music, although I'm not that fascinated on it :D

I have some CDs by The Medieval Baebes and they sing in Latin, French, German and Celtic. I cannot understand a word of the songs but they are wonderful to listen to. They harmonize so well and sign so beautifully, they are great to relax to as well.

i really like salsa music as well as latin jazz. this music is often in spanish and i have been able to pick up a bit of spanish here and there...also, i have listened to french music and chinese music which i like also (i generally get multi cultural cds out from my library to listen to.)

THe songs I listen to that are in another language is anything by Rammstein, and Kuloem Tekee Taiteilijan by Nightwish. Rammstein sings in German and the Nightwish song is in Finnish.

I do. I love the song "First Love" by Hoku (i think). The melody is so beautiful although I don't understand most of it since it's only the chorus which has some english parts. Also, I'm an anime fan, and so I get to listen and be impressed by Japanese/Chinese songs..

Yes,i do.i listen songs for their tunes,not for languages.i always listen to English,French,Japanese and Chinese songs.Sometimes i want to learn a language because a song,such as French.

I don't listen to it regularly but, occasionally I will, and I enjoy opera. I like to sing a long so it is hard for me to listen to music I don't understand the words to.
