Bienvenido, Willkommen, Privet, Huānyíng, and Yōkoso to the PolyglotDome, where we'll be showcasing music with lyrics in languages other than English! Usual Thunderdome structure applies, so please nominate up to four tracks in this thread. And though in many cases it'll be obvious, you can help save me some time by listing the language(s) featured in each track next to their links. Vielen Dank!
Answers to some anticipated questions:
- Songs with lyrics in multiple languages are fine, even if one of them is English, as long as the piece is, like, at least 50%-ish non-English by volume.
- You can't have languages without lyrics, so no instrumentals.
- This is a music dome, so nothing that's primarily spoken-word.
- If I were running this on the forum like a decade ago, I'd worry that the weeaboo was strong enough I'd need to lay down a rule about no more than half anyone's submissions being in Japanese, but eh, I feel like it probably won't be as much of an issue these days. Just try to mix it up.
Let's try to get noms in by, oh, how about February 6th.
Finally, this is the first time I've run one of these things, so if previous runners want to let me know what they think the easiest-to-use bracket-maker is for this sort of thing, that'd be awesome.
