Well do you know any foreign songs that rock? The actual reason why I made this topic is so I can share these songs:
Soldaatvolk by Foto Na Dans:
Spoiler:
The music video might be a bit wild, but if you know what the lyrics mean you'll know that the song is actually a protest against what they're doing on the video by portraying the wrongs of a modern society.
Lisa Se Klavier by The Parlotones
Spoiler:
Just skip to 0:41. There is some commentary throughout the song but I couldn't find a better version. A South African classic remade by South Africa's favourite band.
These are both Afrikaans songs although The Parlotones are an English band so they sing in a strange accent. So who has some cool foreign language songs they want to share?

Pretty much every single band I listen to is foreign, because I don't listen to any bands from Wales.
Just look up anything by Sonata Arctica, Alestorm, Muse, Sentenced, Nightwish, Millencolin, The Offspring etc.

I generally take the topic title and the first sentence as the content, and only 'foreign' popped up in both.
Technically, the national language of Wales is Welsh, so all of the above mentioned bands sing in a 'foreign language'.

OMF Volke 
What I meant was not English, like foreign to the western civilization. The songs I posted was from my own country, not foreign to me, but it's foreign to the English speaking people of SC. Get it now? I'd be uber happy if you posted a Welsh band.
BTW I checked and English and Welsh is Wales' main languages, so those aren't even foreign to you.

Eh, Rammstein is probably my favourite non-english speaking band.
<3 to Craizen for the Avatar & TheLlama for the Signature.

There are going to be a lot of SC members whose first language isn't English. I would change the title to "Non-English language songs that rock!" (Oh, and implying the whole of the western hemisphere speaks English is just silly)
For non-English speaking bands, for those who want to hear something completely different from any other genre, there's Magma. They use their own language invented by the bands leader and drummer, Christian Vander. Though this is far from the only thing that make them unique. Their sound, branded "Zeuhl", is a very spiritual sounding mixture of jazz, choral, classical and prog rock
Another one I've been loving is the folk metal band Moonsorrow from Finland
Oh, and I am a huge Orphaned Land fan. Nice choice

But English is a foreign language to a large portion of western civilisation. English practically is Wales' main language, and only 25 percent of Welsh people can actually speak Welsh fluently (and I'm in the majority who can't).
Welsh bands? There are only four Welsh bands that I actually know of - Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics, Lostprophets and The Blackout, none of which I recommend (the first two are boring, the second two are crappy screamo clones), and none of them sing in Welsh anyway.
Since you kindly edited the thread title, I may as well post a foreign language song. Here, try some Korpiklaani:

Not all of their songs are in Finnish, but that one is. Another one you can try is Finntroll.

Yeah, Rammstein's probably the only one I know. Though the other song I know is Manu Chao by Les Wampas (French).

I definitely have to post the industrial band Acylum. Like most other industrial bands, they are from Germany but the difference is, they actually sing in German unlike a lot of other foreign bands I listen to.
Then there's Stahlnebel & Black Selket from Germany, with a dark/hard-hitting semi-rave song.
