Belle

This is a song by Jack Johnson titled 'Belle'. I really like how he uses 5 different languages in this remarkably short lyric.Below are the original lyric as well as the translation, which I believe is faithful to the best of my knowledge.

Oi Lienda
Bella que fa?
Bonita, bonita que tal?
But belle
Je ne comprends pas français
So you'll have to speak to me
Some other way


1: Hello, beautiful. (portuguese)
2: Beautiful, what are you doing? (italian)
3: Beautiful, beautiful, how are you? (spanish)
4: I do not understand French (french)
5: So you'll have to speak to me (english)
6: In some other way. (english)
