What is the greatest song which includes some of the lyrics in a foreign language?

Song for Europe has Italian and French lyrics. Love it. I plan to play it on Brexit day.

I think we are now just naming songs with foreign lyrics.

Beck - Loser

As a hardcore Atheist I still enjoy these..

Ummm....ever heard of La Cuckaracha?

Sunday Girl by Blondie (the version with the French verse).

Der Kommissar. Original version by Falco and then the mostly English version covered by After the Fire. If you were really cool in the 80s, you had the original German version by Falco. The best part is that they both made seriously painful 80s music videos for each version.

Now that malmo has turned this into naming every song you can think of....

Hold on Tight - ELO

Thpanish Bombs verse ith in Catalan. Thus the lithping.

Oh mi corathon

Got a laugh singing Killer Queen to some French friends. Then they corrected Freddie Mercury’s pronunciation of Moët! Too late!

Dominique..The Singing Nun

I think for songs that only use some foreign lyrics it has to be Michelle. Some of the other great songs are simply foreign songs so i don't think they should count.

Also maybe Che Sera Sera by Doris Day?

Gojira Born in Winter

Nope. That was done twice on the very firdt page.

Blondie "Call Me"

Laissez les bon temps rouler--many versions by many artists. I'm partial to Allen Toussaint

Crescent City--Lucinda Williams (New Orleans music is a gold mine for this question).

Les Poisson--The Little Mermaid

I agree too many LR posters are jumping the gun to be the first to place blame and not making sure they are correctly placing blame.

I'm not really the biggest fan of Elvis but quite recently I discovered Kentucky Rain and must say my word what a wonderful song! Here it is -

With out a doubt my favorite Elvis song. Kentucky Rain was written by Dick Heard, Eddie Rabbitt and not easily sung.

Seven lonely days

And a dozen towns ago

I reached out one night and you were gone

Don't know why you'd run

What you're running to or from

All I know is I want to bring you home

So I'm walking in the rain

Thumbing for a ride

On this lonely Kentucky back road

I've loved you much too long

My love's too strong

To let you go, never knowing

What went wrong

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down

And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through

With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)

Searchin' for you

In the cold Kentucky rain

In the cold Kentucky rain

Showed your photograph

To some old gray-bearded men

Sitting on a bench outside a gen'ral store

They said "yes, she's been here"

But their memory wasn't clear

Was it yesterday?

No, wait, the day before?

A lot of good ones named so far. I'll add 'Kyrie' by Mr. Mister.
