Bono’s linguistic talents

For those of you who, like me, were wondering just what the heck Bono was trying to sing at the “Deine Stimme gegen Armut” show last week, here ‘s a web site with the lyrics. It includes a link to an English translation. Personally, I thought it a good sing, well fitted for the occasion.

Mensch lyrics

Over the years, we’ve heard Bono sing in several languages: Latin, German, Spanish, giving a speech in French in Cannes as well as the occasional oneliner during shows. I’m starting to wonder what’s next. And since U2 are doing some sessions in Fez, my bet would be Arabic as a big contender.

To get prepared, here you can look up some Arabic words. “Love” and “kneel” are probably good ones to start off with… ;-)

So, what language do you think Bono is / should be studying and using next?
