All kinds of amazing stuff that came with the complete YTMND soundtrack. 
Do you listen to music in languages you don't understand?

I do listen to bands in other languages, but not in particular.

Rammstein is the only case where I do this. Only because they are the ****.

I like Rammstein. Although I find myself looking up their lyrics in English alot.

rammstein is the reason why I use the screen name ficken in some places (where I think I can get away with it)

sigur ros, french soul music, japanese music, lots of world music.
some spanish (Heroes del Silencio), and the odd french or italian song, but that's about it, usually. I can understand the rest I listen to (well, most french songs too 
)
)

Not mIRC!!!
Yes, I do. But strangely, I don't understand most of what people are saying in songs! Not even in Romanian or English. I very rarely understand anything from the lyrics of a song.

Only certain types of traditional Indian music. Example: Najma. Its not that I listen to it all the time, but its the only non English language music I can get into.
Everyone here does it all the time whenever they turn on their copy of Civ 4 or Civ 4 Warlords
Baba Yetu ftw!!!
And 99 Luftballoons is pretty cool too, but I don't make a habit of music in languages I don't know.

I listen to a couple of J-pop music. Mostly from Ayumi Hamasaki.

Ayyy what does it mean?
"laisse pas trainer ton fils" mmmmhhh.
"trainer" is French slang, it's a verb used to describe people hanging outside with nothing to do, and usually turning to illicit activities because they're so bored.
So the title means "don't let your son on his own", something like that. They're basically telling parents that they should watch their kids if they don't want them to be caught in the ghetto gangsta lifestyle. There is one great line in that song:
"Le laisse pas chercher ailleurs l'amour qui devrait y avoir dans tes yeux"
"don't let him go look somewhere else for the love that should be in your eyes".
NTM had some great gangsta-style songs, but their last albums were much more responsible.
Did you like that song or were you just curious about its title?

"Loitering" is probably the English translation, more or less.

The Baba Yetu thingy
Does English songs count? Some of them are difficult to understand.

No Eyetallian? Shame on you.
In answer to the topic question, I listen to Spanish, which I do not understand so well.

The only Italian singers I've listened to are the classic Zucchero, Boticelli, Ramazotti and of course Gala
