World songs refer to the variety of local music that is heard at every part of the world. Each country has its own local songs mostly sung in their own language. Music does transcend boundaries. And people from different parts of the world are starting to appreciate each other’s music. It is seen when an American boy sings to the latest Japanese anime theme. A European sings the songs of Madonna. And a Chinese sings an Irish song while playing the accordion. That is world song taking its influence.

Karaoke is the best way to experience world songs. Most of it is available in their original lyrics and others have translated versions. Some karaoke sites have a limited selection of these songs. It may fall under the category of ‘world’. Lyrics are easier to find than karaoke versions. Often these are only available in the local websites of the country it came from.

Downloading it may be quite difficult if the site online doesn't provide credit card payment. And some sites don’t have an English translation. You could always refer to translation websites but it is very time consuming.

It would be very helpful if you have specific list of world songs to search and download. The search would narrow down to either a specific country song genre or song artist. Most song artist nowadays has their own official website in the net. It would be a lucky find if such site offers a karaoke version of their songs. Also look out for links to these versions. Most downloads are accessible by purchase and a few have free versions.
