Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh
Splotila naveki velikaya Rus'!
Da zdravstvuyet sozdanny voley narodov
Yediny, moguchy Sovetsky Soyuz!

Slavsya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye,
Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot,
Partiya Lenina — sila narodnaya
Nas k torzhestvu kommunizma vedyot!

Skvoz' grozy siyalo nam solntse svobody,
I Lenin veliky nam put' ozaril,
Na pravoye delo on podnyal narody,
Na trud i na podvigi nas vdokhnovil!

Slavsya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye,
Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot,
Partiya Lenina — sila narodnaya
Nas k torzhestvu kommunizma vedyot!

V pobede bessmertnykh idey kommunizma
My vidim gryadushcheye nashey strany,
I krasnomu znameni slavnoy otchizny
My budem vsegda bezzavetno verny!

Slavsya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye,
Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot,
Partiya Lenina — sila narodnaya
Nas k torzhestvu kommunizma vedyot!

Far as I know, more trancey than techno. They were a 2 man group from the Ukraine, so I wouldn't be surprised if I confused Russian and Ukrainian. Think they broke up in 2004.

The montage song from Children of Dune. All in the Fremen language

Fucking a. That song is awesome. I bought their cd Mexican Spaghetti Western after hearing that song. The songs on that album that are also awesome are:

Fideo del Oeste
Severina
Ala Cran y Pistolero
Siente Mi Amor

Also, Senzafine by Lacuna Coil.

99 Luftballons
Moskau
Dragosta Tin Tei (probably butchered the spelling but oh well)
The Real Folk Blues
Cruel Angel's Thesis (about the only part of Evangelion I enjoy without caveat)
Tunak Tunak Tun
Virtually all of Rammstein (Feuer Frei! if I have to pick just one)
Go! (much like Cruel Angel's Thesis, the only part of Naruto I enjoy without hesitation)
Ready Steady Go!

Sure you don't mean 'Chunbi Chuba Go'? There's an English extended I can give you too. Oakenfold pwned particularly righteously in that song too!

GITS: SAC had some nice music, which can be heard free and legally on the websight, track number III definatly is definatly foreign language and i like it.

What can you expect? It was composed by Yoko Kanno. Speaking of, the song 'Replica' from Solid State Society (the SAC movie) is a beautiful song. Ilaria Graziano's voice is very pretty.

Senzafine - Lacuna Coil.
All Rammstein, anything by Yoko Kanno.

Rammstein - Moskau - german AND russian?
Yup The lyrics are insanely laughable for a Russian however. The song is good, no shit. But what am I saying? This is Rammstein. They performed "Shtiel" and "Song about a dangerous youth" in Russian once

Heh

.
I'll add Rammstein to the list, though I very rarely listen to them. I started hearing Rammstein around a month before going to Poland for my Holocaust memorial expedition, frankly after it ended up playing while on the way to the camps or in the bus passing by the remains of a Ghetto the memorial context of the Holocaust and hearing someone screaming violently in German makes for an unpleasant combination. (They do have good music though, and I do hear their more wordless stuff sometimes)

"Qadukka-I-Mayyas" by Jesse Cook and the Sarah Harmer version of "Salamandre".

It's just that trance songs don't usually have much in the way of lyrics, and that includes what PPK I've heard. Got a sample of that song to prove me wrong?

Zor: I much prefer track 4 (Cyberbird) to track 3 (Syberian Doll House).

Sharpshooter · Post by **Sharpshooter** » 2007-01-12 06:17pm

Rip Slyme is pretty good for funk and techno and the Pillows for rock - I've also got some stuff from the Tokyo Ska Orchastra that's rather nice. Ouendan's also introduced me to Asian Kung-Fu Generation and Road to Major (I think) which I'm finding quite nice.

Wander My Friends- From the first season of Battlestar Galactica (the new version). Great song in Gaelic.

Rye · Post by **Rye** » 2007-01-12 09:25pm

Some I'd forgotten to mention:

Brujeria - their most recent stuff.

Anorexia Nervosa - Das Its Zum Erschiessen Schön

Morbid Angel - Bil Ur Sag - ancient sumerian ftw!

Nailbomb - Vai Toma No Cu

Red Harvest - Absolut Dunkel:Heit

I'm sure there's some Therion songs in the native languages of the mythologies mentioned.

Post by **Simplicius** » 2007-01-12 10:42pm

Edith Piaf - La Vie en Rose; Denez Prigent - Gortoz a Ran; Malicorne - Le Prince d'Orange and La Conduite; Bulat Okudzawa - Pesenka ob Arbate; Barry Sisters - A Byssele; plus various songs from operas and German and Russian military music.

Well, here's the lyrics to We'll See (aka Uvidimsya), transliterated from Cyrillic

Skoro noch' sogreet veter polusumrachnyh vetrin
My s toboj na tselom svete, ty moj rab i gospodin

Skoro noch' sogreet veter polusumrachnyh vetrin
My s toboj na tselom svete, ty moj rab i gospodin...gospodin
Ya usnu, a ty ne bojsya prosto dumat' obo mne
Nezhnyj son moj, uspokojsya ty proshepchesh' v tishine

Znazhit my uvidimsya
Znazhit my uvidimsya
Skoro my uvidimsya
My s toboj uvidimsya, uvidimsya, uvidimsya

No tvoej mechty doroga pozvala tebya manya
I ona k tebe tak stroga, esli ryadom nyet menya.....nyet menya
A glaza tvoi shal'nye vzglyad uvodyat za stoboj
Ty ujdyosh', no ne nadolgo i dusha tvoya so mnoj
Ona so mnoj, ona so mnoj, ona so mnoj, ona so mnoj, ona so mnoj

Znazhit my uvidimsya
Znazhit my uvidimsya
Skoro my uvidimsya
My s toboj uvidimsya, uvidimsya, uvidimsya

Still looking for a legit sample for you.

I supplement my income as a DJ playing French hip-hop so as you'd expect I like a great many foreign language songs, current favourite French tracks are probably 'Association de gens normaux' by TTC and 'Smoke' by Nayeli, Sho-r & Saisek . Outside of French stuff 'Powterize' by OSTR is great as is 'Bornhere' by DAM.

It is nigh-impossible to find any import Russian music in the States.

Fucking. A.

That has got to be the best-sounding national anthem I've ever heard. And I have no connections with the Soviets.

Foreign language songs eh?

There's old Su Rui (1980s Chinese singer) stuff that I grew up to. I guess that technically wouldn't be foreign.

Stuff they use in anime, then. And (I know some of you Germans will hate me for this) Rammstein. They're foreign to me. I like them.

Apart from that, assorted national anthems. I still think the Soviet one is the best. The old German one isn't bad either.

Executor32 · Post by **Executor32** » 2007-01-20 04:26am

I like most songs by Rammstein, my favorites being Bück dich, Du hast, Sehnsucht, Sonne, Amerika, Moskau, and the extremely catchy Te Quiero Puta! (which is great for drowning out the shitty Norteño that my neighbors always play

).

I'm also a fan of Utada Hikaru and Pizzicato Five, and one of my favorite Japanese songs is Soyokaze no Sonachine, by Kasahara Hiroko.

Speaking as an American, the Soviet anthem is kewl, and immensely superior to "Oh, say, can you see?" The Soviet National Anthem, as played by the Red Army Choir.

Major Maxillary · Post by **Major Maxillary** » 2007-01-20 08:36pm

Leva's polka

Caramelldansen

Fjortis boy

much of Glukoza's work

Luftwaffenlied(still trying to find an mp3 of this.)

Panzerlied (fun fact: if you play this song backwards you can hear them say "heil hitler" in the chourus. Just a funny coincidence.)

Falshirmajagerlied

The themesong to Dai-Guard
