The Baburèn story is perfect, and it's doing something sneaky. You spent years hearing a mangled phrase, not knowing the title, not knowing the band, not understanding a word of it, and the song landed completely. Then the correct information arrived and added nothing to the joy. As someone who spends most of his time chasing what songs actually mean underneath their surfaces, that's a wonderfully humbling thing to sit with. The meaning was never the delivery mechanism. The sound was.

I'll gently hold my ground on one point, since I'm the kind of person who goes digging in lyrics: I don't think the poetry is the enemy, I think the trouble is when the poetry is asked to do the work the sound should already be doing. Your Public Enemy example is the good version. "Fight the Power" would still hit if you knew no English, and it hits harder because you do.
