For example, the Canadian national anthem has a line that sounds like:

Oh Canada, we stand on cars and freeze...

(Real Lyrics: Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee...)

(I was just out there, and, yes, you will freeze...)

Some song lyrics played a prank on me. This particular one[1] ended with what sounded "Yes it's much too late for the bus." It in reality sung, "Yes it's much too late for good-byes."

[1] Too Late For Goodbyes, by Julian Lennon.

In the poem Annabel Lee, [Edgar Allan Poe], considered to be one of the most beautiful poems in the English language, its rhymes and rhythm suggest the undulating sea waves, swaying small waves that go to and fro in each strophe and gather momentum until they splash at the beaking point: "chilling and killing my Annabel Lee" and recede. The whole poem sounds as a big wave that grows, comes forth and goes back to the initial calm. Awesome!!!

'Annabel Lee' traduzido por Fernando Pessoa

I like the word "flavour", especially because it starts with "flav"

[jlmmelo]

I´ve forgotten to say (for those who didn´t understand my last post): I think the most beautiful-sounding words in English are:
chilling and
killing my
Annabel Lee.

Definitely, Passion Fruit, uma das palavras mais bonitas do inglês!

No português, nem tanto vai.. rs
Mas esse é o *poder* de uma língua estrangeira, pra mim, "passion fruit" fica mais gostoso do que lembrar que estou comendo "maracujá"!

I'm not writing it in a religious way, but JESUS CHRIST sounds really nice in English! Its pronunciation is amazing!

That's it!
