I love listening to music in foreign languages. I don't understand most of what is being said, and a wonderful friend of mine has even agreed to translate a couple of songs for me that I really like, because I'm curious as to what they mean.

Most of the time I just like to listen to music for the vlice and the sound of the music itsself, not necessarily for the words. Howewver, when I find songs that I really really really like, then I'll ask someone to translate them for me.

Do you like listening to music in languages that you may not understand? Why or why not? What languages do you prefer? Those who know me know that I really like Croatian, Serbian, Russian, and German music.

I think the music is without the border. I like listening to foreign songs. Mainly I listen to English songs, and sometimes I will listen to French, Japanese songs and so on. As long as the melody is nice, I don't care about whether I can understand its language or not.

I love Chinathumbupthumbupthumbup

Are you chinese? I am chinese. I like American songs. sometimes I listen to Russian songs. Apart from a few words, I don't know any Russian at all. but these songs often effect a change of my emotion even though i don't understand the meaning.

I think that Italian is a wonderful language to hear when listening to music. I never was normally an opera fan, but there are some arias Pavarotti used to sing that almost turned me into one.

Spanish, particularly in Latin American music, also has an attraction for me.

Hi danishcanadian,

I love music..be it English, Malay, Indian, Hindi, Indonesian,
Latin, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin...I love them allwub

Music is the most wonderful thing on earth, it fills our soul,
it had 'no boundaries - Chris Allen', it is universal
like 'Jaiho' - Hindi (movie- Slumdog Millionaire)..everyone can
enjoy and appreciate it :)

I still remember when I was very young, I follow a local tour to Penang,
while on the bus, we take turn to sing as the travelling journey is
very long~ 5 hours. So, I took the mike and sing a Hindi song, great
song, I can pronounced it but I know nothing about its meaning...lol

When I mop the floor at home, I will on Latin American song and Arab song
and mop and swing along...that is really fun!

I love also foreign song like English, Spanish, Japanese or Korean. Even if I don't understand some of them but their melody is good and some of them are upbeat. Sometimes I'm also sing some of them even if I don't pronounce the lyrics very well. I love music everytime I'm cleaning or being alone I like to sing to entertain myself. I like also our own songs and English songs as well.

Dear agv,

Totally agree with you...those songs with wonderful melody
and of upbeat, it really capture the listeners heart no matter
where...it can be appreciated and at times we can even sing its
chorus without knowing what it means..lol

The famous Philippines song 'Anak' was so popular that it has
been translated to Mandarin, English and Bahasa Malaysia. I love
this song very much...2 thumbs up for the Philippinesthumbup

The legendary musician from Japan ' Kitaro ' music have travels
the world and played at many restaurants and cafes, isn't it amazing!

Thanks for your comments, truly hope to hear from you on my latest
topic too! Do keep in touch & happy myLotting :)

Yes I listen to foreign music,especially English,but also in languages I don't understand.I guess the lyrics aren't so important, and I like to guess the subject of the song then confront it with someone who knows that language.

I love music. I really ejoy it in every language. Most of the time I'm listening to English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, and a little bit of Latin. It doesn't matter I don't understand a single word of the language. As long as it can make me sing along or maybe nod my head or even jump around. I just love music very much.

Yeah I do the same. Me & my sister loves S.H.E so much a group of Taiwanese girls,They had very lovely voice & we love their harmony & they are pretty too. We don't understand the lyrics though.. I listen to their songs everyday. We use online translation, sometimes online translation gives headache. =p I still listen to English songs. I like Mariah Carey, A1 boyband though they're gone now. And other Inspirational & love songs.
