I speak fluently in two of the three languages and am learning the other two right now.
So heres the translation
Oi lienda (Portuguese) (this is actually spelled wrong. It should be "Oi linda" Hey pretty girl
Bella che fa? (italian) Pretty girl, how's it going? (che is pronounced "kay" whereas ce would be pronounced "chay"...its weird i know)
Bonita, bonita que tal? (spanish) Pretty girl, pretty girl whats up?
But belle (french) but pretty girl
Je ne comprend pas francais (french) I dont understand french
So you�ll have to speak to me Some other way
to recap: Hey pretty girl (in portuguese) Pretty girl, how's it going? (in italian) Pretty girl, pretty girl whats up? (in spanish) But pretty girl (in french ((well, But is in english)) I dont speak french (in french) So you'll have to speak to me Some other way
this is my take on it .. Jack sings hey how are you in the 4 romance languages Italian, Spanish, Portugese and French and then he ends in english saying you'll have to speak to me another way ... maybe what he's trying to say is that he's this ordinary guy and he doesnt know how to do romance, for me the song's simple and plain and i think thats what jacks saying about himself and his love, no grand gestures just the truth.
I had no idea what the words meant. All i knew is that it made me think of this girl I have a huge crush on. Now that I know it means, "hey beautiful" it all makes since because she is the most beautiful girl ever! She actually introduced me to Jack's music - It's crazy how his music just grabs you and takes you into another world. I want this song to be playing when I kiss her for the first time. Well, She is taken at the moment so everybody wish me luck -- maybe i will have my chance to kiss her someday??

Dude fuck Bluw man don't let anyone give you crap or say you cant be the one you love. I think of this girl too when I listen to this song. I also have my dog that I love and her name is Belle. So I sing this song to her everynight before she goes to bed. I know it's been like 5 years but I hope things worked out for the best and let me know if you ended up getting with you crush:)

Frenchish
He actually sings in several different languages. The first two lines are Italian, meaning "Hey beautiful/ Beautiful wuts up"...then in Spanish "Beautiful, Beautiful wuts up"...then in French "I don't understand French"...then English
I recently saw Jack in San Francisco, and at the show he translated it as "Hey beautiful, hey beautiful, hey beautiful, I don't know french."
lol i jus bought the cd yesterday, and this song caught my eye (the tital) so i went to look at the lyrics...haha love it. hey beautiful....i cant speek french, so talk to me in a different language please?
this song is funny. i mean its cute but its funny to hear jack sing in other languages...
simple and powerful
This song totally rips off "Michelle" by the Beatles. Probably not unpurpose though.
lol
lol
jacks wife kim speaks some french i think. he wrote this song as a little joke to his wife...something silly and personal. i love it
