No, it has to be a language Doug speaks well enough that he doesn't have to take the time to translate either on paper or in his head -- basic conversational fluency at a minimum. Just remembering what a set of lyrics means when translated into English will not suffice.
The languages he currently can use for songs are English, French, Japanese and Valdemaran. For simplicity's sake I use songs in English lyrics almost exclusively in the narrative.
