favorite language for music
for those of you who are bi-or multilingual, what is your favorite language to listen to music in? your native tongues, or another?

Easily English.

I mostly listen to English music and lyrics-wise, its probably the best. But nothing can beat Portuguese in the sheer beauty of the sound of it (only when ung, though). Plus, arabic is just cool in music. And I still didn't mention Irish... Argh, this question is too much for a language-maniac like me

it´s funny... we (my friends and i) were talking about this issue yesterday...
i´m from argentina, so we speak spanish... they say they didn´t like english music at all... they counted how many song in english they have... just a few... on the other side... i (almost) have no song in spanish (no local artist, actually) in my discography... so, i think my favourite language for music is english... in fact, i learnt this languange (by my own) listening english music and reading the lyrics... oh, i think this is too long for a simple question, he he

I'm pretty sure 96% of the music I listen to is in Japanese. o.o
I really enjoy it, though my understanding of it is very basic. If anyone wants me to, I will recommend artists~~like Utada Hikaru! I also enjoy English-sung songs though (of course). I also think Chinese can be very pretty too--especially when its Faye Wong singing.

As my favourite bands and musician are from English speaking territories, I prefere English then. But for me the most beautiful language in music is Portuguese. Even though I understand so little.
Also, since I've studied Italian language I love to listen music on Italian. Specially Jovanotti who is my favourite Italian musician even he doesn't sing so as he is reciting This song "Mi fido di te" has so beautiful energy, sound, lyrics. Love it. Last edited by Voxi; 09-25-2014 at 06:30 PM. |

Being close to fluent, it's definitely English as I can understand it pretty well and it sounds beautiful. Czech sounds really lame in songs. I don't really listen to stuff I don't understand except for classic Italian opera. I don't relly like Spanish in songs but French never disappoints.
