The majority of the music I listen to is actually in languages I can't even begin to understand. Is anyone else like this? I know most people think I'm weird for it, but to me lyrics don't really matter all that much when it comes to whether I'll enjoy a song or not.
I do listen to a lot of music in english though because sometimes it's nice to understand what I'm hearing. But also, I think music in foreign languages helps a lot if you want to learn a new language.
I think that sometimes it's better to don't understand the song's lyrics because... usually it's nonsensical or ridiculous ... And sometimes there is a bit perverse meaning so... But it happens that sometimes there is a real meaning in the lyrics... But if you sing... I dunno... For Exemple, [Je ne veux pas travailler -Edith Piaf / Pink Martini] in France, some poeple will find this funny because the lyrics of this song are totally ... Let me translate them and... You'll understand my point of view....
Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage My Room is shaped like a cage
Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre the sun put his arm through the window
Les chasseurs à ma porte Hunters at my door
Comme des petits soldats Like little soldiers
Qui veulent me prendre Whom want to take me
Je ne veux pas travailler I don't want to work
Je ne veux pas déjeuner I don't want to have lunch
Je veux seulement oublier I just want to forget myself
Et puis je fume And I smoke!
No meanings, but poeple like this song because it's just popular... But if they understand the lyrics... Music is Music and poetry is poetry
It's always interesting to listen musics from different country of the world, although we can't always understand lyrics... It's a good occasion to go to see lyrics, in the goal to understand more a song! But if we can't understand the lyrics in a song, their are not less important!
I like to learn some songs in others langages than english, because this allow to discover new opinions, a new way of think!
I like to listen to other language too!
I love korean music . but i actually try to understand them cuz im a singer
Cann you guys suggest the french song for my singing competition
cuz i don't know any 🙁 or maybe just a list of french feamale singer ,thanks
i thought i was the only one to listen to such music 😁 even if i mostly listen to music with french and english lyrics, i like discovering new things so i don't care if i don't understand the lyrics! When i really like a song i just look for the lyrics on the internet !
