    Songs with two or more versions in different languages. These are the three example I can think of off the top of the head.

    Nena - 99 Luftballons

    Nena - 99 Red Ballons


    Kraftwerk - Das Model

    Kraftwerk - The Model

    I know there are others like We Are The Robots too


    Rubberbandits - I Wanna Fight Your Father

    Rubberbandits - I Wanna Fight Your Father (As Gaeilge)


    Any others? Feel free to link them. Doesn't have to be from the same artist I guess.

    I know "The Model" was mentioned, but Kraftwerk released most of their albums in both German and English language editions.

    They also did a few versions of songs in other languages:

    • Les mannequins - French (Showroom Dummies)
    • Mini Calculateur - French (Pocket Calculator)
    • Piccolo Calcolatore - Italian (Pocket Calculator)
    • Dentaku - Japanese (Pocket Calculator)
    • Minikalkulator - Polish (Pocket Calculator)
    • Калькулятор - Russian (Pocket Calculator)
    • Os Manequins - Portuguese (Showroom Dummies)
    • Maneken - Croatian (Showroom Dummies)
    • Manechine - Romanian (Showroom Dummies)
    • Manichini - Italian (Showroom Dummies)
    • Objecto Sexual - Spanish (Sex Object)
    • 放射能 / Houshanou - Japanese (Radioactivity)

    Blume by Einstürzende Neubauten was has English, French and Japanese versions with different singers. I think there's a German version too.
