Music of the World: Non-English Languagedome Nomination Thread

[Issun]

Here we go! Submit up to four (4) songs with lyrics in a language that is not English and we will vote on them. Some ground rules:

1) If there's a bit of English in the song that's fine. The large majority of it must not be, though. I'll leave it up to each person's judgement.
2) Please include the language or languages each song you submit is in alongside the link to each song.
3) Links only here, no embeds please.
4) Please do not disparage other people's choices. This is about enjoyment.
5) Submissions must be in by 11:59 PM PST on June 5th
6) The two songs that are inadmissible this time around due to winning the last one of these are 99 Luftballons by Neneh and Yuve Yuve Yu by The Hu

That is all!
