    Yeah!
    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 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.

                    Lots of Polish music:

                    Sexy Doll by Republika
                    Mówię Ci, że by Tilt
                    Fajki i Alkohol by Andy
                    Zima by Natalia Szroeder
                    Gdzie jest biały węgorz ? by Cypis

                    I gave up trying to learn Polish because of its immense difficulty. I only speak English fluently but I've taken up an interest in Esperanto.

                          Which is actually the Finnish song "Ievan polkka" and not just scatting/jibberish as I always naively used to think

                          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 😮

                                  I always thought Regin Smidur by Týr captured exactly the kind of vibes I'd expect from Viking metal. But I've never known what the lyrics are about, and probably don't want to.

                                    I non-ironically quite like the leek spin song (Ievan Polkka).

                                        Baba Yetu, the Swahili opening to the game Civilization 4. Wikipedia says it's the first song made for a video game to win a Grammy.

                                          And mine. I only ever partly learned the dance. I did eventually get The Roop (2021/2022)'s dances, and of course Konstrakta's.
