A Good Foreign Rock Song

Any favorites? I inadvertently discovered this French band and song.
the band was called Telephone, the song- Un autre monde (Another World)
It has a good feel. What's a foreign band and song that you enjoy?
Lyrics- Translated-
Another world-
Je rêvais d'un autre monde
I was dreaming of another world
Où la terre serait ronde
Where the earth would be round
Où la lune serait blonde
Where the moon would be blonde
Et la vie serait féconde
And where life would be fertile
Je dormais à poing fermé
I was in a deep sleep
Je ne voyais plus en pieds
I couldn't see straight anymore
Je rêvais réalité
I dreamed reality
Ma réalité
My reality
Je rêvais d'une autre terre
I was dreaming of another world
Qui resterait un mystère
That would be a mystery
Une terre moins terre à terre
An earth thats less down to earth
Oui, je voulais tout foutre en l'air
Yes I wanted to screw it all
Je marchais les yeux fermés
I was walking with my eyes shut
Je ne voyais plus mes pieds
I couldn't see straight anymore
Je rêvais réalité
I dreamed reality
Ma réalité, ma réalité
My reality, my reality
Oui, je rêvais de notre monde
Yes I was dreaming of our world
Et la terre est bien ronde
And the earth was round alright
Et la lune est si blonde
And the moon is so blonde
Ce soir dansent les ombres du monde
Tonight, the shadows of the world are dancing
A la rêver immobile
For having been dreaming it motionless
Elle m'a trouvé bien futile
It found me quite futile
Mais quand bouger l'a fait tourner
But when budging made it turn
Ma réalité m'a pardonné
My reality forgave me.
M'a pardonné
Forgave me
Ma réalité m'a pardonné
My reality forgave me.
outro
Dansent les ombres du monde
The shadows of the world are dancing
Dansent les ombres du monde
The shadows of the world are dancing
Dansent les ombres du monde
The shadows of the world are dancing
Dansent les ombres du monde
The shadows of the world are dancing
Dansent, dansent, dansent, dansent, dansent
Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
Dansent, dansent, dansent, dansent, dansent
Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
Dansent, dansent, dansent les ombres du monde
Dancing, dancing, the shadows of the world dancing.

The Cambodian "Wooly Bully"
Of course the lyrics fail to capture the poetry of the original

I'll leave the less obvious choices to the more astute.

I was coming to post this. I bought that album when it came out.
I wish they did more stuff in English.

Good in some ways and it’s oddly catchy.

I always thought these guys should be huge.
They're from Puerto Rico, and half the song is in Spanish and half English.
Much better than that drivel (also known as Ladrones) that Jose Mangin keeps forcing down our throats on Liquid Metal....
