The Blood Moon rises once again (Hyrulian)

I have my bears (French)
I never heard it before, and I'm french.
We are saying "The indians are coming" though, which is racist af
A bit of context for the Indonesian one, the way "moon" is used there is similar to month, so it's basically "the time of the month is here" said as "datang bulan"
"I have my bears" does not exist in the french language.

A common one in German is Erdbeerwoche (strawberry week).
I have never heard this expression. Which part of Germany is that from?
I have heard it in numerous places. More predominantly in west to north-west states. But I also remember that TV ads have used this term. So I would say it's used nation-wide.
I seem to have missed it in the north east and central Germany. Then again, I don't think I ever heard someone say something other than "Ich habe meine Tage" except for some creepy dudes with skeleton T-Shirts talking about being brave seamen that don't fear the red sea. Which I always found kinda icky.
German: there are painters in the cellar.

A common one in Guatemala is "I am with Andrés, the guy visits me once a month."
It is used because Andrés rhymes with month (mes).

I'm pretty sure no Italian ever said Garibaldi is coming, except in 1860 when he actually was coming. But you could say there weren't any Italian at the time, as Italy was just made
I get the strong feeling that none of these are real.
What is the Danish one in Danish?

A Møøse once bit my sister...
She got better.
"Kommunister i lysthuset"
A direct translation of "lysthus" would be gazebo but "lyst" can also be translated to "lust" or "desire".
No one understands danish, not even danes.

Well, they do have some strong arguments.
Some other Swedish ones:
Jam in the pancake crease - Sylt i plättväcket (plätt(ar) is a small kind of pancake)
Closed for the week - Stängt för veckan
Old Lady red - Tant röd
The misery - Eländet
Month crazy - Månadsgalen
As a Swede, I’ve never heard lingonveckan before.
A german one is
Xenophobia
