Does Prince speak or sung fluently not in English?

I tried to do a search for this topic, but the search is down, but I do need to know a couple of questions that me don't know about.

Does Prince know how to fluently speak in another language?

If he does, what's the other language he knows how to speak fluently?

Did Prince ever did a song all in another language?

I know in boys and girls he sung like a sentence in French, but me would like to know about any songs not done in English at all.

I hear he knows French and Spanish pretty well, but I doubt he's fluent in any other language but English. Where would he have the time to learn? Maybe someone else knows?

I think he would have the time to learn a language fluently. It seems he knows how to play many instruments well that must takes some time learning. I know from UTCM movie he spoke a couple of words in French.

He's American so the chances for him to speak any other language than English fluently are LOW lol

seriously, he showed some interest in French (UTCM) and Spanish (probably mostly because of his relationship with Mayte).

but he could be good at learning foreign languages since he's got perfect ear (I think this is how you say it in English) smile

Yup, he did a Spanish version of I Wanna Be Your Lover, (obviously) only released in Spain in 1979.

I had a feeling that he did a song in another language, but just wasn't aware of it.
Do you know why it was only release in Spain ?

If U listen 2 the Demo of "All Day, All Night" sung by Prince, the intro goes: "Ich liebe Dich, ich liebe Dich!". That is in fact German. But certainly the only three words he knows in German, except maybe "Danke" und "Guten Abend".
"Don't hate me 'cuz I'm fabulous!"
