Not a huge fan of the band, but this song is awesome. Very hypnotic and repetitive in it's melody and rhythm, and the lyrics tell a good story.

Wow. I can see why Tolkien liked Finnish. I felt like I was listening to something from Middle Earth.

2. That song from Romania, you know Maeeahee, Maeeahah, Maeeahah, Maeeahaha and there's a part that goes NUMA NUMA yay... (meh, it's not that good, but I kinda like it.).

[Thought transference]

...
As for what my favorite song is, I'd have to say either Amsterdam or Fils De by Jacques Brel or Spente le Stelle by Emma Shaplin.

I'm going to go with Jacques Brel's (the original) version of Amsterdam

I have to admit I don't normally enjoy listening to French much, but this song...! Even before I read a translation it was like a blow to the chest with a sledge hammer.

I have heard a couple of good covers in English, but this remains my favourite. The raw power of the song and of Brel's delivery makes translation almost superfluous.

[Albrante]

Ha gotta be Numa Numa for sure, or the proper name Dragostea Din Tei.

[Thought transference]

Feliz Navidad!!
EDIT: Loituma!

What is that language?

It's Finnish (the Savonian dialect, to be exact), but the chorus is Pig Latin with no meaning.
EDIT: That video is only the gibberish part of the song.

If you go here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN4cLlIKnoA&feature=related> you can hear the whole thing, and there's even an English translation underneath. Another good song. I should've mentioned this before, it belongs on my list of favourites, along with a load of Russian, Ukranian, Chinese and African music I can't be bothered to transcribe now.

[Thought transference]

try translating 'what's that coming over the hill is that a monster' ( I don't know if that's the name of a song) into german

I would if I spoke German, but instead all I could manage was an online translator:

was ist das Kommen über den Berg ist, dass ein Monster?

And as it's German, I don't have a lot of faith in an online translator to get the syntax right.

[Cattidome]

Le Chamin by Kyo.
