For a kids' song I'm writing about the Tower of Babel, I need to know how to say "I don't understand you" (or "I don't understand that") or "Excuse me" (or "Sorry") in as many languages as possible. Idiomatic translations are fine.

You can also have fun, if you want, with "Please drop that stone on my foot" or similar ideas. But keep it clean. :-)

Bonus points if you come up with a phrase that rhymes and shares a stress pattern with a phrase in a different language.

Please include some clue as to pronunciation, including word stresses.

Thanks in advance!

The French expressions should say "je ne te comprends PAS" and "je ne vous comprends PAS".
