BTW, since you mentioned music in other languages, here's an example of sort-of the reverse in action. About a dozen years ago a guy from Brazil on another of my internet hangout got me into some Brazilian music, particularly this band (actually a one-off project) called the Tribalistas. I really got into it, in particular the song below. Believe it or not, but I have actually memorized the words to this song (as best as I can make them out) even though I don't understand a word of it. This is what I mean when I say that lyrics aren't important to me - I don't even need to understand them, they could be gibberish for all I know but I don't care because I like the actual music part of it.
