Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you're learning Slovenian, watch out for the tricks
Russian words that look the same but meanings never mix
Živeti means to live your life, not bellies like you'd think
False friends will fool you every time, faster than a blink

[Chorus]
False friends, false friends, they'll lead you astray
Looking like Russian but meaning something else today
Pozor means attention, not the shame you know
Stol is just a chair, not a table, don't you know
False friends, false friends, remember what they say
Learn the real meanings or you'll go the wrong way

[Verse 2]
Vrsta is a line or queue, not distance from the past
Naročiti means to order food, not deliberate at last
Zrak is air you breathe each day, not sight like words of old
These tricky words will catch you if their secrets aren't told

[Chorus]
False friends, false friends, they'll lead you astray
Looking like Russian but meaning something else today
Pozor means attention, not the shame you know
Stol is just a chair, not a table, don't you know
False friends, false friends, remember what they say
Learn the real meanings or you'll go the wrong way

[Bridge]
Ponos is your pride so strong, not something you don't need
Čerstvo means it's fresh and new, opposite indeed
Take your time to learn each word, don't let appearances fool
These false friends are everywhere, but now you know the rule

[Chorus]
False friends, false friends, they'll lead you astray
Looking like Russian but meaning something else today
Pozor means attention, not the shame you know
Stol is just a chair, not a table, don't you know
False friends, false friends, remember what they say
Learn the real meanings or you'll go the wrong way

[Outro]
So when you see a word you think you recognize
Remember false friends wear a good disguise
Study Slovenian meanings, don't assume you're right
False friends in the shadows, but you'll win this fight
