I'm always wide open to foreign-language LPs, possibly because the capability to understand the lyrics of most songs often reveals how silly they are. I was pleasantly surprised to discover a couple of heaters on this suspiciously weepy looking album from South Korea.

Song Chang Sik by doggziller
I have no idea what the real names of these tracks are I'm afraid nor any clue to the content, but given that South Korea was under military rule at this time I like to imagine these songs circumspectly criticise the regime through allegorical ballads about the shy, pretty girl-next-door being curb-stomped by riot police.

Birds
birds don't even know what they're singing about
but they keep singing.
birds don't even know where they're flying to
but they keep flying.
it resembles your quite eyes i saw long ago, really long ago
it resembles your closed heart.
there, there to the end of the sky
they disappear.
you disappear too with them
and your fragile heart disappears too.
