Karel Gott & Darinka Rolincová in the 1980s: Zvonky štěstí / Zvonky šťastia, he sings Czech, she sings Slovak. Can you hear the difference between the two languages? ;-)

This Altan song has verses in Irish followed by the equivalent in English, without the rhyming structure. I don't understand why they don't apply any rhyme ...
I'm also aware that Clannad sing in a number of different languages, although I don't know if they do any two in the same song. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

"Sorry" by Madonna. It's mostly English, but there are two verses which are "sorry" in different languages (French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Spanish again. Japanese, Hindi, Polish, Hebrew.)

Here's a mostly German song with some English sprinkled in starting at about 00:45. BTW, DÖF was a German/Austrian group. Can you spot the Austrian band member(s)? They also released an English/Yiddish version.

There was a band from South Africa called Juluka. They sang in English and Zulu. I don't understand any Zulu, but the music is excellent.
