False friends

Words are very tricky, especially so when
Instead of speaking in just one language your speaking in ten
Similar sounding words across the languages occur
And that is why in Hebrew she is he... because he is her!

While dining in Jerusalem, feel free to order "dog"
It isn't what you think it is - you'll be okay with god. ("dag" mean fish in hebrew)
Israel has a "mafia" on each and every block
Filled with delicious cookies, unless they're out of stock

Language is confusing, enough to get you miffed
You better be on guard I say for Germans giving gifts (... that's German for "poison")
And "Ich bin ein Berliner" means your filled with sweet sweet jelly
Just like "a la mode" is talking 'bout a pie and not something more revolutionary

Much better off your are, many times much better
To get an Englishman's blessing rather than a Frenchman's "blesser"
The Spanish love their "mami's", as Israeli's also do
But in England to love your mom like that is totally taboo

In Germany a "waffle" is not something you eat (it's a rifle)
In fact I'm sure the Germany would ban waffles from the street.

Likewise when a Spanish girl says she's "muey embarrasado"
She's saying that she's pregnant, its not a faux-de-pass-do (... okay, I cheated on that one)


And don't be fooled I tell you now don't think that you're in luck
'cause he's not saying "you're a jewel" when he tells you you're a schmuck
A Frenchman who is telling you that he wants your "support"
Is telling you get on your feet, not to help him out in court
