স্মরণে | Nana Mouskouri | Mar 9, 2012 |
Try to include something from this great (now retired) Greek singer. She sings in several languages as well as her native Greek. You can listen to her final concert on YouTube by entering "Nana Mouskouri Farewell to the Stage".
This is just one song from that concert, which she sings with her great and unique voice, gracing the world with her music. No translation available, maybe someone working with EN/GR can supply it?

Three of the most beautiful songs written in my lifetime:

Billy Joel - And So It Goes
Beach Boys - God Only Knows
Another Billy Joel favorite of mine (not "beautiful," but amazingly personal) - Shameless

Great thread! I'm compiling a list. We're over 600 now--but I have to make a list of just songs, and put it into alphabetical order, then make a separate list for the albums or artists who've been named without mentioning a specific song.
Do all translators love to make and format lists and tables?

স্মরণে | A fantastic duet - "I Don't Want to Talk About It" | Mar 27, 2012 |
A friend of mine has just posted this fabulous duet on a social networking site. I had heard this song with other singers but never imagined that Rod Stewart had produced this gem together with a new budding star, Amy Belle! Sit back and enjoy! To cap it all, the magnificant saxophone, the audience participation and the general setting.

স্মরণে | Irena Tratnik - Lyrics | Oct 9, 2012 |
I just realised that I have forgotten to give you the lyrics of this beautiful song about peace, sung by Irena Tratnik. Once again no translation.
Kot droben cvet, ki prekriva ga sneg,
kot ogenj, ki v vetru se spreminja se v led,
kot majna lutka, ki nimaš je rad,
počutim se mnogokrat.
Ko gledam oblake objokanih lic
in slišim krike preganjanih ptic,
v strahu pred temo se pesem rodi,
naj nič nam se ne zgodi.
Vsaj malo s... See more I just realised that I have forgotten to give you the lyrics of this beautiful song about peace, sung by Irena Tratnik. Once again no translation.
Kot droben cvet, ki prekriva ga sneg,
kot ogenj, ki v vetru se spreminja se v led,
kot majna lutka, ki nimaš je rad,
počutim se mnogokrat.
Ko gledam oblake objokanih lic
in slišim krike preganjanih ptic,
v strahu pred temo se pesem rodi,
naj nič nam se ne zgodi.
Vsaj malo sonca, vsaj malo smeha
za svet, kjer teče življenja reka,
topline malo, ljubezni nežne,
miru vsaj malo si zdaj želim.
Vsaj malo sreče, veselja malo
in da ljudje bi več ne jokali,
miru vsaj malo, vsaj eno željo,
da upanja zdaj še ne izgubim.
Želim, da razumel bi pesem ves svet,
dekle sem, ki poje, kar pravi srce,
in sama drhtim, kot osamljeni ptič,
ki sluti viharne dni.
Vsaj malo sonca, vsaj malo smeha
za svet, kjer teče življenja reka,
topline malo, ljubezni nežne,
miru vsaj malo si zdaj želim.
Vsaj malo sreče, veselja malo
in da ljudje bi več ne jokali,
miru vsaj malo, vsaj eno željo,
da upanja zdaj še ne izgubim.
Poj z menoj, to pesmico.
V miru naj ves svet živi.
Poj z menoj, to pesmico.
V miru naj ves svet živi.
Poj z menoj, to pesmico.
V miru naj ves svet živi.
(v ozadju: Vsaj malo sonca ...) ▲ Collapse

And then there's a cover that I really like that you can find on youtube, just search for "full metal alchemist brother violin instrumental version." The woman who plays it also has several other violin covers that are exceptional.
I'm not sure how much you all will like these songs, as they're mostly punk/rock, but they've helped me through many translations. ▲ Collapse
