Spanish village - like when someone say "it´s a Spanish village for me!" in a sense they don´t understand a thing.
Raven to raven - when you want to say "great minds think alike"
You have a short line - like you are stupid, it takes you a long time to understand.

there are probably more but I can´t think up about anything else :D

• "children and fish don't have a voice"
• "thinking about blue almonds"
• "promise pears on a willow"
• "alone like a finger"
• "speak straight from a bridge"
• "sit like a mouse under a broom"

As being a natural English speaker from England, I can confirm that even some English sentences translate bad in English.

Working out what some people from various parts of the country means when they say some things is often a laugh.
