Himala by Rivermaya (Means "Miracle")
Kisapmata by Rivermaya (Translates to "A Twinkling" or, sometimes, "A Mirage")
Habang May Buhay by Wency Cornejo (Loosely translates to "As Long As I'm Living" or "While I Am Living")

More songs...

Ligaya by Eraserheads (Means "Joy"/"Happiness")
Ang Huling El Bimbo by Eraserheads (The El Bimbo was a dance in the 80s, the title thus translates roughly to "The Last Dance")
Alapaap by Eraserheads (Means "Sky"/"Heavens")
Limang Dipang Tao by Barbie's Cradle (Dipa is a unit measuring the length of your spread arms/two arm's width, which makes little sense as a direct translation, thus "Five 'Depths' of People")
Sandalan by 6cyclemind (Means "Place to Lean" or in the case of the song, "Person to Lean On")
Biglaan by 6cyclemind (Means "Suddenly")

I only have a couple Swedish songs, but this is one that I will always share when asked about foreign music.

Hall om Mig by Nanne Gronvall

There's a GORGEOUS Princess Tutu AMV to this song. Even if you don't like the anime, this AMV is the most beautiful thing ever. Watch it.

...All my other Swedish songs suck, so I'll leave it at this. I like this meme.

I think the first song is in Hindi, however I could be wrong; But it is Indian, for sure.
The song by O-Zone is in Romanian.
