So this song is basically about a serial womanizer who travels the world and uses his multilingual skills as a seduction tool. The narrator presents himself as a charming foreigner, hopping from country to country, picking up local phrases in Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, and English, not because he genuinely connects with people, but because knowing how to sweet-talk someone in their native language gives him an edge. The whole joke is that language learning, something usually associated with education and cultural understanding, is being repurposed entirely for casual sexual conquest.
The chorus leans into this hard by stringing together romantic phrases from multiple languages, basically a greatest hits of pickup lines. "Mi amor," "mon chéri," "ti amo," "я люблю тебя" all mean roughly the same thing, which is the point. He is not expressing genuine feeling in any of them. He is running a script, and the script just happens to be multilingual. The line "I am no man for one night, I stay at most one or two hours" is a darkly funny inversion of the usual reassurance. He is not even committing to a one-night stand. He is gone before sunrise and already moving on.
The ending is where the satire really sharpens. The broken foreigner grammar in "Du kommen mit, ich dir machen gut" is deliberately crude and incorrect German, mocking the idea that you do not actually need to speak a language well to get what you want. All the fancy multilingualism earlier was just window dressing. Underneath it, this guy is just using the bare minimum needed to proposition someone, and the song laughs at him a little for it while also making you laugh along.
