I love songs that are in a different language, and when you go and find the translation, you love it even more.

No-Shakira
Apres Moi- Regina Spektor
Schnappi-Das Kleine Krokodile (although I did understand that!)
Ave Maria in Latin... has a lot of importance to my family and throughout our lives.

60s french pop rock and roll like Jacqueline Taeib, Francoise Hardy, France Gall, Jaque Dutronc and Christophe, then there's Eidth Piaf, oh Belgian Gypsy Jazz like Django Reinhardt though most of the time i can understand it.

apart from that

Sigur Ros!!!!!!!

Used to listen to a lot of jrock, jpop, and korean hip-hop and r'n'b, but now- except for the occasional Girugamesh or Mucc song, and stuff from se7en- I've pretty much grown out of it :(

Edith Piaf- I loooooove her voice, and one day, I will be able to understand what she is singing :D:D

Sigur Ros - of course :)
Some great Icelandic bands, like Bang Gang, Ampop, Olafur Arnalds, Pornopop - although they do sing primarily in english.
Ulan Bator, Benoît Pioulard (some, but OMG GREAT!), and of course Alcest -- french

If anyone likes some decent shoegaze like I do, there's no one I can recommend more than Alcest's album 'Souvenirs d'un autre monde'
