Best ''foreign language'' song

[guyboxer]

Hi,a quick question for all the disco/hi energy/italo lovers.What's your favorite ''foreign language'' song?
Mine would have to be Tenax by Diana Est,closely followed by Sonnambulismo -Canton(an english version of the latter does exist though,i think it's called Sleepwalking)

[gunbuck]

I think I'd have to go with Jakie Quartz's "À La Vie, À L'Amour."

Two more tunes from me. I'm still hoping that these tracks will be remixed in hi nrg format, but deep in my heart I know that this will NEVER happen.
I just keep on dreaming.

Mylene Farmer - L'Amour n'est rien... (Obsessed Club Mix)

Gloria Piedimonte - Ma Che Bella Serata

[Dayna]

La Vie En Rose-Grace Jones
Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voilà le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
je vois la vie en rose

[RetroRuss]

Que Tal America - Two Man Sound is my favourite.

Do you happen to know if "Galbi" by Desert Moon is a cover version of the
Galbi track by Ofra Haza or is it a different song?

[fabbathanabba]

Another fab one is MATIA BAZAR - STRINGIMI !!

[JussiK]

"Marcia Baila" by the French avant-gardists Les Rita Mitsouko remains pretty good, non? The vocalist is Catherine Ringer who made an impression as a performance artist. She also felt compelled to express her sexuality in hardcore porno films during the aerly 80's.
