For me i’d say vocaloid when i was younger. No clue about now, maybe some russian songs like igorek.
Es Rappelt Im Karton ton ton ton ton
AcidWolf: Cherokee Lectro Mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iPaC0kQLVs
This song in some Cyrillic language: https://open.audio/library/tracks/102128
中西 圭三 - Woman
Nakanishi Keizō - Woman
(Japanese; my Japanese only good enough to catch a few snippets)
One I came to love because the guy in the room next to me when I lived in Japan kept playing it over and over until I did. Also featured in my first (and last!) attempt at doing karaoke in front of Japanese people.

Vremya i Steklo - Troll
(Russian)
The Ukrainian crunk equivalent of “No Scrubs”? (IIRC read an article explaining how the song is about terrible men hitting on her)

Anders Nelsson - Ghost Bride Song
(Cantonese)
From the soundtrack of 殭屍先生 (Mr Vampire, 1985), Hong Kong horror-comedy about the hopping dead.

(Haitian Creole & English; I only know a few words in Creole)
A konpa track I think sampled by Wyclef Jean. https://youtu.be/McUmXoB_9ywI like vocaloid music, but many of the songs are in Japanese which I don’t speak
I like several songs by Stromae and don’t understand French.
Everything in Drakenier’s Chaos Language.
The classic answer is La Bamba. Love the song, no idea what the lyrics are.
Mayeeaheeeeee mayeeeaaahhooooo mayeeeeaaaa ha ha!
I non-ironically quite like the leek spin song (Ievan Polkka).
This is a significant fraction of my music collection.
Baba Yetu, the Swahili opening to the game Civilization 4. Wikipedia says it’s the first song made for a video game to win a Grammy.
99 luftballoons!that’s it, until I learned german
Ay Que Doler by Los Chunguitos. Such a banger and I always sing along but no idea what they’re saying
I always thought Regin Smidur by Týr captured exactly the kind of vibes I’d expect from Viking metal. But I’ve never known what the lyrics are about, and probably don’t want to.
