I'm surprised that people can answer with only one or a few songs. I don't "discriminate" music by language at all, I listen to a ton of music from all over the world in more languages than I can say. One very good place to find good international music is the YouTube channel My Analog Journal: https://youtube.com/@myanalogjournal

There's this Norwegian metal band called Kvelertak and I absolutely love their sound, but have no idea what the lyrics are about as I don't speak the language.

Except, it is mostly scat/jibberish! Just in Finnish! Most of the song is nonsense lyrics.

I did not expect to find a Kvelertak fan in this thread! Cool!
If you ever decide to learn a little to understand them, know that the dialect in Stavanger is very different to what you normally learn.

I've had "V blbym veku" from Xindl X in a playlist for 10 years.
I don't understand a single work, but it just speaks to me for some weird reason. -

The artist Lescop is great. I know some french but not enough to really 100% follow the lyrics

Everything by Wardruna. Gregorian chant and medieval music, particularly by Hildegard von Bingen. Music by Enya in Gaelic.

There's a Mexican metal band Ladrones that I have the same issue with.

Except it is just scatting. The leekspin version and the Miku version of the song is just the scatting parts of the Loituma arrangement. The full Loituma version, Korpiklaani version or one of the many recorded versions from Finnish folk singers have the actual lyrics. They do actually include a scatted part, usually after every verse, but Loituma atleast extended it for a full verse of scatting, which the Miku version made into a full song.
For the record, the lyrics are about the main character of the song dancing polka with the girl he loves (Ieva), whose "proper" and religious parents don't approve of the mc or dancing in general. So after they dance and go home, the mom of Ieva catches them and makes Ieva cry, the mc threatens the mom to leave them alone and professes his love for Ieva. Then they go on to dance more polka. It's great.

Pretty much the whole soundtrack to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's all done up in French and I only know bonjor, baguette, and fromage. But it just sounds right for the mood of the game
