Mucc - ware, arubeki basho
Apart from Mucc being my favourite band and this one of my favourite songs by Mucc I really love the lyrics, beginning with the title.

Hands down, no contest- in Portuguese I would pick Aguas de Março Tom Jobim e Elis Regina The amazing voice of Elis Regina in duet with the master of Brazilian music, Tom Jobim, is a classic, innately Brazilian, song. @Erikspen of On Learning Brazilian Portuguese has a link to a language lesson based on it: Aguas de Março a lesson. It's a fun way to learn some Portuguese and a bit about, Brazil and life at the same time.

One of my favourite songs in Spanish is Calle 13 - Latinoamérica. v=ssxM5sJAB1c&feature=fvst
My all-time favourite Irish song is Tabhair dom do lámh - which has no lyrics! Here's a version by Planxty which
starts with the English song 'Raggle Taggle Gypsy'. Lovely, skip to around 4.00 for Tabhair dom do lámh.

Just one is tough, but I'd choose:
Polish: Teledysk-Krzyżówka Dnia by Brodka.
