but nobody's willing to replace, for instance, English "what can I do" with another variant, though in Russian it sounds like "going to find some vodka".

"chto ya magu dilet" sounds like going to find some vodka?

I meant the English phrase itself, for instance, in songs. my father doesn't know English and every time when he hears "what can I do" in an English song it sounds like "vodki naydu" meaning "going to find some vodka" in Russian.
