Is it normal to like songs from a language i don't understand?

I love Greek, Turkish, Albanian, Serbian, and Arabic music even though I don't understand any of the words except I know a little bit Turkish. But I am none of those ethnicities, but still I feel the lyrics in those songs are good because they sound beautiful. Is it ok to like a song where you have no idea what they are saying?

    I often find myself jamming to the jimmerish songs on the Sims games.

      I also enjoy listening to them in the bath whilst eating a few burgers.

    As do I. I'm especially fond of French, Japanese and German music.

    Every culture has a little bit different music, and part of that has to do with the rhythm of the language. So yeah, it's perfectly normal. I don't understand Italian but I like some opera.

    yeah, I mainly listen to Japanese rock, even though my level of Japanese language is horrible. Just occasionally I'll look up translations to be able to understand the songs a bit more.

    Yes. I like Josh Groban's Italian songs. You can enjoy the music and feel the mood even if you can't understand the words.
