bliaz 897 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Well, my english is not good, but like some people say, music is an universal lenguage; you don't need to understand a song to like it. I can read english, but it's difficult to me understand when I hearĀ it or writing it, but there's internet, thank God, and you can searchĀ the translation.Ā English isnāt my first language, so please excuse any mistakes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant 20,281 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Coupure Electrique is an amazing French song from Britney, I don't know the lyrics so I just listen to the background music and the beat. I figure I would do that with other second language songs as well ź“ģ¼ė” ź±øģ“ź° ģģ ė¤ home ground Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazaar 5,752 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 When I was younger (and didn't know English that well) I enjoyed and admired artists because of the beat\genere of their music, their music videosĀ and performances. I didn't really pay attention to interviews and staff like that. And if I really wanted to know the meaning of the song I searched for a translation, that's it.Ā So I assume that is how non-English speakers enjoy the artist and its music.Ā And I also agree with @SpookyKidĀ that music is universal.Ā Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm French and I was told by every English teacher (that are mostly native French speakers) that French was so freaking complicated in comparison to English.

SlayYo 206 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Monsters whose first language is not English will not pay much attention to the lyrics of the new songs that Gaga just dropped. As for Asian monsters like me, I usually listen to what words or phrases she was trying to say or sing aloud rather than going into the melody or whatever in the song in the first place. And for some words that only American can understand, like "Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun"Ā I sometimes would bewhen that part of the song come through. I am my Hair.
