Inspired by lila_vulpes's recent post...

If any of you have favourite songs in languages other than English, I'd like to hear them.
I can probably find most songs on my own if provided with just the name of the song and artist, but if you have links for download or to YouTube, those would be welcome as well.

Hell, if you want to recommend a song (or an artist) that is in English, go ahead. Ditto for Finnish songs.


Also, vaguely related: If anyone could send me Kriitikko (Mustavalkoinen tuomio) by Klamydia, I'd love that person forever. I know it's a long shot to be pleading it from my flist, but you never know.

YAY it's-a the foreign-language musikz luv spreading /o/

I shall make a list to you asap (prolly tomorrow, as it's late around here right now XD)
Besides Brazilian Portuguese, I think I know 1 or 2 Italian and French songs too :)

Your post made me realize that my own playlist is sorely lacking in foreign-language music.

Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to it!

Well, as promised, here goes X3 The bad part (well or not so bad XD) is that… I just realized they are ALL oldies XD Some not so much tho. As I said I don’t like nowadays music at all lol, so enjoy:

Como Nossos Pais (Like our Parents) by Elis Regina http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXR6RndxRTFFQlE9PQ – lyricks are kinda poetic and symbolic, but it basically says that no matter what we do, we still act like our parents. This version, sung by Elis, is not the first one, but my favorite.

Vinte e Poucos Anos (Twenty-and-something years) by Fabio Júnior http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXQrYSsxUUJFQlE9PQ – lyricks are that we won’t give up on his 20’s, no matter what other people do or say

Estúpido Cupido (Stupid Cupid) by Celly Campello http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXR4bEFEbUpFQlE9PQ – lol a classic. It’s basically the singer not wanting Cupid around, for she’s suffered enough with love XD Probably the first and original version, although I like another one (which I can’t send cuz the CD I had with it was stolen T__T)

Ana Júlia http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXQ0QTZwM214dnc9PQ and Primavera (Spring) http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXQ4NnlWRDlFQlE9PQ both by Los Hermanos – not soooo old, Ana Julia was a success around 2000. Ana Julia is about, well, Ana Julia: he says she left him and such, and he misses her, y’know the deal XD; And Primavera follows the same idea, only it seems she didn’t really left him on purpose, but went away.

Chocolate com Pimenta (Chocolate with Pepper) by Deborah Blando http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXR3Mm0zMW14dnc9PQ – not an oldie, but the theme song of a soap-opera XD Said soap-opera’s story was set in the 20’s, so this song tries to “mimic” how music was on that time. Not that famous either (only when the soap-opera aired) but I like it nonetheless XDD Lyricks are about opposites: chocolate with pepper, yin-yang, sun and moon, etc.

A Miragem (The Mirage) by Marcus Vianna http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXQrd0FrUmswTVE9PQ – another one from a soap-opera. Really poetic song about love and its sacrifices. Sorry if a few seconds are cut from the ending >__< I have a lower-quality version with no cut-ending, in case you wanna hear.

My Mistake by The Pholhas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGSU0D2jvJQ – they’re a Brazilian group from around 70’s, but sang some songs in English. Not too famous, but my dad loves them XD I have the mp3 too… somewhere XD;; I’ll try to find it.

Olhar 43 (Gaze 43) http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXQ2V3JsMHp2Wmc9PQ and Rádio Pirata (Pirate Radio...well obviouslyXD) http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXR3TXZveE0wTVE9PQ both by RPM – Today RPM’s singer, Paulo Ricardo, is in solo career. All of their songs are great /o/ Olhar 43 is about him being crazy about this girl and stuff. Rádio Pirata is kinda symbolic, but seems to make a critic to the society.


Meu Mundo e Nada Mais (My World and Nothing Else) by Guilherme Arantes http://www.megaupload.com/pt/?d=NQU3Y25L – lyricks are about how he and his world changed, and how he wanted it to be the way it was before.

Pintura Íntima (Intimate Paint) by Kid Abelha http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PLXK4DZM – I love this song hehe. She talks about how she’s waiting for her lover and such. “Fazer amor de madrugada” is “Make love at dawn” XD

Tornerò by I Santo California http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GSXQ1Y3lubVh2Wmc9PQ – an Italian oldie, one of my dad’s fav songs ever, so I blame him lol. Lyricks seem to be about the dude leaving, and saying to his girlfriend that she shouldn’t be sad and such.

Detami um Martello by Rita Pavone http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1REAN2BJ – well I’m sure you know this one XD Another Italian song. I believe the title is “Give me a hammer” XD

If I remember more, I’ll post ‘em X3
