u2's, "Miss Sarajevo"
The Lyrics:
Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come il fiume
Come il fiume...
L'amore giungerà
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare
Why:
Italian for "You say that the river finds the way to the sea and like the river you will come to me beyond the borders and the dry lands You say that like a river like a river... the love will come the love... And i don't know how to pray anymore and in love i don't know how to hope anymore and for that love i don't know how to wait anymore" -Sung live by Luciano Pavarotti with u2

Wings', "Mamunia"
The Lyrics:
Mamunia, Mamunia, Mamunia, Oh. Mamunia, Mamunia, Oh-oh-oh.
Why:
Mamunia is actually Arabic for 'Safe Haven' and Paul McCartney actually wrote this while he was in Morocco where Arabic is the native tongue.

"Weird Al" Yankovic's, "Taco Grande"
The Lyrics:
Buenos noches, senor. Bienvendio a el burritos casa de salsa. Tenemos muchos platos muy sabrosos si puedo recomendar el ardiente pollo al infierno muy delicioso. Sus ojos se quemaran, su estomago estara en fuego, se quedaran en el bano por una semana, entiendes lo que digo gringo estupido tonto?
Why:
Like the Geraldo's "Rico Suave" song uses Spanglish, this Weird Al parody is about eating Mexican Food. In English the bridge is... "Good evening, sir, and welcome to Enrique's House of Salsa. We have many very delicious dishes. May I recommend the Burning Chicken from Hell as being very delicious. Your eyes will burn, your stomach will be on fire, you'll be in the bathroom for a week! Do you understand what I'm saying you stupid Gringo"? And the bridge was spoken by Cheech Marin from Cheech and Chong.

AFI's, "Love Like Winter"
The Lyrics:
Read the lines in the mirror through the lipstick tray
"Por siempre"
Why:
Por siempre means 'forever' in Spanish. AFI has a few other songs in which random Spanish is thrown about, the other one coming to my mind being "The Leaving Song Part II".

ABBA's, "Voulez-Vous"
The Lyrics:
La question c'est voulez-vous.

The title itself is French for "Would you"; the line in full translates as "The question is - would you?"
Submitted by: Brendan Richards
Hall & Oates', "Italian Girls"
The Lyrics:
La donna Italiana belissima
Why:
Translated as "beautiful Itatian woman". John Oates doesn't sing this lyrics although it is on the lyrics sheet, singing instead something to the effect of "She's here somewhere and I know I'm gonna find her." in place of the Italian lyric.
