I listen to alot of foreign songs. I love Scandinavian languages. I'll post some videos later. Can't at the moment as I'm at work.
 
I happen to listen to a band from Germany that doesn't sing in English. I have all of their albums and I haven't found any of their music that I don't like. But this is the first song I heard from them:

I am happy that Rammstein did not take long to show up in this topic.

Also, I love when Swiss metal folk band Eluveitie (pronounced el vAy tE) have vocals in Gallic:

Oh yes!!! How did I forget Eluveitie?! Saw them last year, brilliant band.
 
How can you not like Rammstein?

Rammstein is just an awesome band. To not like Rammstein is to not like music at all.
 
If you can speak German, some of Rammstein's lyrics are disgusting. 😛 But they are good, they'd be one of my favorite non-english bands as well.
 
Manos Al Aire by Nelly Furtado and Wavin' Flag by K'naan featuring David Bisbal would be my top two. Manos Al Aire is fully in Spanish (& I understand a lot of it, surprisingly), & Wavin' Flag has some Spanish parts in it.
 
Since I like Japanese music there a LOT of them lol

One song I really like is Bookmark A Head, they play it at the end of Strike Witches. It an really amazing war song. The lyrics are touching.
