Do you listen to music in languages other than English?
If so, which ones? Do people around you consider it strange?

I would say more than half of the songs I listen to are in non-English languages: Arabic, Croatian, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil.
Most people I know do not listen to anything else than English, except perhaps (rarely) Spanish or French. More often than not, I can find translations of the songs I like or at least use a dictionary to get the sense of the song, so that isn't an issue.
I listen to music in Hebrew, Spanish, French and Chinese (although this last one I don't really understand unless there are captions in English).
I've got to share this with you, it completely blows me away. It's sung and written by a ballsy French/Acadian Canadian singer, whose idiom baffles machine translators, but as far as I can make out, it is about rejecting a suitor who invites her to dine at a pretentious cafe in her home town of Moncton, New Brunswick. She accompanies herself beautifully on piano. Give it a listen.
