Great metal not written in English

[astream]

Hey folks,

heard some cool metal played in the gym today. None of the songs were written in English.

Would be cool to see what non-English songs we could gather together! Preferably not only Rammstein and Sepultura/Soulfly ... ;-)

Opening up with one of my favourites!

Looking forward to your posts. Cheers!

Not in English?! I can't think of a single song, with vocals, that is any good that isn't in English.

Even by bands I like, like Megadeth or Fairport Convention.

 

[Stormwatch]

Wait, maybe Nile sing in Egyptain?

Some cool songs there! =)

Reminds me of the time when I had not yet learned English and when I heard death and black metal the first time.

Had no clue what they were "singing" !

Think I've already posted this one before, but I think it's pretty good.
Lyrics in Norwegian, although I think they've done a version in English as well.

 

[motorpsycho]

oh, and that other Norwegian band who does pretty well right now.

...and if you're planning on getting into french black metal, this video might come in handy.

This, their cover of the old disco song, Dschingis Khan, is a fucking classic

 

[YOYOMOSHMAN]

Not really metal, but excellent anyway

 

[DumbAss]

Everything by Rammstein

This one is the best song of all time. Best lyrics. Here is the translation to Mantando Gueros:

Americans use us for wiping their asses
They treat us like pig shit
Have balls and be men
A fucking trip to the north

Centuries pass and our race is fucked
American bastards, they screw us and pee on us
Forced into poverty,
We are always my pals
Your vengeance will be your dark destiny

Killing whiteys – Long live the Mexican race!!!
Killing whiteys – Like the my pals, O.J. Simpson!!!
Killing whiteys – Satan will protect you
Killing whiteys – Killing whiteys!!!

Machete in hand and hot Indio blood
Satanic force, looking for vengeance
To the North we go to take things in hand

Killing whiteys – Long live the Mexican race!!!
Killing whiteys – Like Ricky Ramirez!!! (The Night Stalker serial killer)
Killing whiteys – Satan will protect you
Killing whiteys – Killing whiteys!!!

Machetes, pistols, metal sticks,
Kill a white man, accept the laws of the devil
Vengeance for our people
I will put a fucking stick in your belly, asshole
Come here, come here, asshole.
I will kill you, white man.

That’s it, Long live México, asshole.
