Default Songs from non-english rock bands

This board has people from all over the world so I got an interesting idea. It's easy to discover bands who perform songs in English but I'm sure there are also great bands that don't ever perform their songs in English and stay completely unknown to anyone outside their country.

Since most people here probably share or at least have similar taste in music as me I thought I'd ask you to contribute YouTube links of hit rock songs from non-english bands who have achieved great success in your country.

So the rule is that you post hit songs which can't be in English. Sort of a best of non-english rock songs.

I'll start off with a few videos from one of my favorite local bands and hope many of you will contribute to the thread with your own links.





The last song is not rock but I heard it a few years ago while I was in Prague and instantly loved it. Had no idea what she was singing about but loved the melody.

Some years (or months) ago I started with similar tread but it wasn't too much replies for it.
So it will be pleasure for me to reply on your tread.
I will put mix songs from Poland. All of them were big hits and most all of them are rock (PopRock, HardRock, PunkRock).
Even if you don't like language listen them all. I know that you will find songs that you will love because they are great and many people outside from Poland also love them.

On this website you have lyrics for this songs in Polish and English language. Find title os fong and click on "Pokaż tłumaczenie" then you'll get lyrics in english:

So Enjoy!

----------
POLISH BON JOVI BANDS/SONGS:

IRA - Wiara
IRA is band which were named Polish Bon Jovi. They played even as a support in first Bon Jovi gig in Poland. It has SWW vibe for me.

Feel - Pokaż Na Co Cię Stać
Another band which is inspired by Bon Jovi. Many of their singles are in Bon Jovi style.

Video - Środa Czwartek
They should use Talk-Box at the beginning and it would fit perfect in HAND album after "I Want To Be Loved".

Rotary - Na Jednej Z dzikich Plaż
I think it's very Crush song with 90's feeling (it was relased in 90's).

Wilki - Urke
Bryan Adams wanted to use this song and make his own version but Wilki didn't agree. They didn't agree because Adams wanted cut part about "drinking" from chorus.
For me it has "The Circle" feeling

O.N.A - Drzwi

I think Richie must heard this one before he recorded his version of "When A Blind Men Cries". Listen and you will know why

OTHERS BIG ROCK HITS WHICH YOU SHOULD LIKE:


Coma - Los Cebula I Krokodyle Łzy

Let's start with something with power. I swear that If You'll listen to the endyou will be in ectasy.

Myslovitz - Długość Dźwięku Samotności

It was huuuge hit in my country. Song about being lonely. They had very poetics songs. In commercial world I would say that this is something between Coldplay and Radiohead.

Kukiz i Piersi - Maryna

If you like bands like Big Foot Mama or Offsprings you will like that band.

Loka - Prawdziwe Powietrze
One of the most popular Pop-Rock song in my country since it was relased.

Kult - Arahja
If you looking for very deep and old rock Polish songs listen Kult. That amazing band have many songs with great music and lyrics. That one is about Berlin which were divided by wall in 90's.

Totentanz - Poza Wszystkim
Another big rock song from band which isn't well know in Poland. But this one is masterpiece.

Lady Pank - Kryzysowa Narzeczona
You want Polish Punk-Rock? One of the greates Polish band and one of their catchiest song they ever made.
