Songs with lyrics in multiple languages
Does anyone else like songs which include verses and/or choruses in different languages?
I think Andrea Bocelli is a good example of this, with Time To Say Goodbye being the most popular. Here is an duet of his that you will not have heard, where the song includes Dutch, Italian and English lyrics! Because We Believe |
