Foreign Language Theme

The Opening Theme or Ending Theme is in a language other than the main language of the country of origin or of the Target Audience.

Note that this does not include the use of a few foreign words for flavour. Nor does it include cases where a show is dubbed into the local language but has its theme song left intact. This trope is strictly about theme tunes which are mainly or entirely in a language that the target viewers do not speak in everyday life and the original voice actors do not speak in the recording sessions. An Ominous Latin Chanting is, of course, in a language that nobody speaks anymore.

May overlap with Real Song Theme Tune.

Film

 * The credits theme to The Matrix Revolutions, "Navras", takes its ominous Sanskrit chanting lyrics from the Upanishads.

 * Teen Titans has both an English and a Japanese version of its Opening Theme.

 * Lilo and Stitch has its soundtrack in Hawaiian and Lilo & Stitch: The Series has its theme song in Hawaiian as well. Its Japanese counterpart Stitch! has some of its theme songs in a mix of English, Hawaiian, Japanese, and Ryukyuan.
 * Though the speed in which the series runs its theme song renders it Foreign Sounding Gibberish; Hawaiian isn't really compatible with the Motor Mouth effect.
