Music sung in a language other that English please, the occasional use of an English word in the same manner as some iconic English song throw in an odd French, Italian WHY phrase are acceptable too.
I'll kick it off with Mylene Farmer's tribute to the life and times of QPR fans.

When lounging by the pool on a Greek Island I do enjoy listening to the local music. This video was actually shot in Italy though.

Bending (indeed, snapping) the rules to share this dreamy affair from a gorgeous album - to be fair, band from Paris, Latin title, accents you could couper avec un couteau and lyrics ostensibly translated from the French with the aid of a 1982 Collins Gem dictionary.

I'm a big fan of Welsh in songs. Favourites are definitely Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.

Maxime le Forestier, San Francisco (1972)

A French take on the San Francisco scene. It even has its own article in the Financial Times:

San Francisco — How Maxime le Forestier’s 1972 song became an anthem in France
https://ig.ft.com/life-of-a-song/san-francisco.html

C'est une maison bleue - It's a blue house,
Adossée à la colline - Standing against a hill.
On y vient à pied, on ne frappe pas - You get there on foot, you walk in without knocking:
Ceux qui vivent là, ont jeté la clé - The people who live there have thrown away the key.

On se retrouve ensemble - We are together again,
Après des années de route - After years on the road.
Et l'on vient s'asseoir, autour du repas - And we gather for a meal,
Tout le monde est là, à cinq heures du soir - Everybody's there, at five in the evening.

Quand San Francisco s'embrume - When San Francisco is covered in fog,
Quand San Francisco s'allume - When San Francisco lights up.

I'm sad to learn this morning that Toumani Diabate has died. Some in this thread might be familiar with his beautiful Kora playing and many collaborations. I've enjoyed his music for a long time and was delighted to see him live some years ago.

Here's a very good obituary:

Picking daughter up from school last week

"Daddy, what's this song called"
"Eisbaer"
"Does it have any words"
"Umm, yeah in a minute"
"What are the words"
"Eisbaer"
[time passes}
"Daddy how long is this song?"
"About six minutes"
"And all it says is 'Eisbaer'?"
"Yeah"
"Daddy what is wrong with you?"
