I have one Spanish song, but it's sort of a joke song by the German band Rammstein. Also by Rammstein, I have a song with Russian backing vocals.

and I have one Romanian song (take a guess)

Haha I love those guys and I still have their album omg I remember being totally hooked on that album

Let's see... Just a few years ago I used to listen to a lot of different songs in other languages, but now I mainly listen to English, say 70%... The rest 20% is Turkish and 10% is German. When I listen to music now, I focus on the message(s) in the song and whether or not the song deals with a growing issue in our society. I focus more on the message rather than the melody, that explains why I mostly listen to songs in languages that I understand.

But it still doesn't mean that I listen to all kind of English, German or Turkish music, as I said just before, the music I listen to has to contain a great and somewhat serious message

Well, I know enough German to get the message of a song in German, and I am an American, so I understand English music without a problem. That accounts for most of the music I listen to, and if I'm listening to a song in a language other than English or German I almost always try to find a translation online. When I listen to a song, I definitely like to know what it is about. Although, the message doesn't always have to be really serious and meaningful, it mostly depends on my mood.

[PlainChaos]

To me the language doesn't matter actually, if it's rock or metal, and deals with something that I can relate to, then I'd listen to it. I don't say that the message always has to be serious, of course it's something that absolutely depends on your mood. But a song that doesn't contain a serious message, e.g. as I said before social issues and so on, would still have some kind of a meaning, so it would still be meaningful without being serious.

Maybe it also depends on how you define "meaningful". Just to take an example, I personally don't see anything meaningful in the most pop songs being played on the radio today. It's always the same; someone pretends to be happy and calls on everybody else to party, voila there you got a song! The same old themes go on and on, and all in just the same way, nothing artistic at all, yeh let's just all pretend we're happy.

Romanian (one or two)
Japanese (a few)

Chinese: im sorry, i dont want to recommend any chinese songs, they r pretty bad

Russian: Tatu (i love them, all the things she said, they just recently released a new album), Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, Via Gra (a.k.a. Nu Vigros) (they r the hot, and they music r awesome), Serebro, Gluk'oza, Band'eros, MakSim
I LOVE RUSSIAN MUSIC

Armenian: Sirusho - Qele Qele, Hayko - Anytime you need, these r two great armenia songs

Turkish: Tarkan (the best turkish singer), Murat Boz, Cem Adrian (his music is rly relaxing, mystical,) Mor ve Otesi (a great turkish rock band), Hadise (shes a begium-borned turkish, she has songs in french, english, and turkish)

Hindu: Nitin Sawhney (i love his music), go check out "mausam" "koyal"

Sorry for saying but it's cute The only one I've never heard before is Baby Alice otherwise I like almost all the rest but ABBA. I know, I'm a Swede but really dislike ABBA, I must be crazy
If you like Swedish music you should try to find Swedish songs by Carola on for example YouTube, many are really good and specially "Jag vill alltid älska" and "Himlen i min famn". Otherwise the Swedish singers Bosson, DaBuzz, Darin, Ola, Shirley Clamp and Sonja Aldén are very good. I can recommend the song "Det är inte regn som faller" by Sonja Aldén and "Min kärlek" by Shirley Clamp.
Soooo here you go!
