    Belle

    Jack Johnson

    Oi Linda
    Bella que fa?
    Bonita, bonita que tal?
    But belle

    Hello beautiful (Portuguese)


    How are you, beautiful? (Italian)
    Beautiful, whats up? (Portuguese)
    (English)

    Je ne comprends pas franais

    Beautiful, I don't understand French (French)

    So you'll have to speak to me

    (English)

    Some other way

    (English)

    Jack has said that he wrote this song because his wife speaks French
    fluently and would sometimes talk to him in French, but he cant really
    speak French, so he couldnt understand her. Its nothing but a cute
    inside joke.

    Dedicated to his high school sweetheart (and wife) Kim a polyglot
