I like a good amount of Japanese music but that makes my top five songs.
From the angel beats anime it's about the only non english track on my playlist. Actually got a few dif versions.
In the early 200x, I was listening to an Argentinean punk rock group called Dos Minutos.
None of the song names really stick out to me (of course), but here's a link to one.
I like most songs by Carla's Dreams (Romanian/Moldovan + Russian). From eurovision, Shum (Ukrainian) and My sister's crown (English+Ukrainian+Czech+Bulgarian) are pretty good. Slavic languages just sound nice in songs.
Also most pop in catalan (eg. La sortida, escriurem, Ara!).
For something rarer check out Pat Boy who sings in Mayan.
Na Laetha Geal M'Oige - Enya
Sidi Mansour (any version)
The Vietnam National Anthem
Voyage Voyage - Desireless
Xoris Esena - Despina Vandi
Epic of Gilgamesh
White Tiger Field (Byakkoya) by Susumu Hirasawa
Well I do speak some Spanish but Del Castillo Rios Misticos is such a banger whether you can understand it or not.
The song Inta Omri is gorgeous, look for a Um Kathoum version.
I read further down that a user even has a dedicated playlist for these kinds of songs. I should probably start my own.
And I'm afraid this thread is going to keep me busy for a while...
Here are a few examples from my "favorites" playlist:
Youssou N'Dour - Undecided (Japoulo)
I'm enough of a lyrics person that the language barrier is a pretty big issue when it comes to music but HATRIÐ MUN SIGRA and I si demà no tornara are both undeniable bangers
"Ari Im Sokhag", Serj Tankian (system of a down) and Larisa Ryan, very beautiful Armenian song
indihome packet phoenix
Literally anything by Thievery Corporation, though a lot of their music is in English
Dame veneno by Los Chunguitos.
This Frederic song was on my feed one day. I had to hunt it down later that week and fortunately it was easy to describe because I found a thread of someone trying to find the same song.
[Bratisla Boys - Stach Stach

I think that for this one we can all agree on "not speaking the language"
The Snake by Lana Lubany
Olivia Lufkin - Stars shining out
I love several songs by Welle:Erdballs
Here are a few songs that I started listening to:
