The one below is somewhat difficult for Italians, Its meaning? No meaning at all. The text goes as follows:

"Sopra la panca la capra campa
sotto la panca la capra crepa"

which translates as:

"On top of the bench the goat lives
underneath the bench the goat dies"

Phonetically:

Soaprah lah pahnkha lah kahprah kahmpah
sottoh lah pahnkha lah kahprah khrepah

Give it a try! smiley - biggrin
