Having a "common language" doesn't mean one must give up their original language. And the idea of translating any song into another language has appeal--it means there is a desire to sing that song in ones own language. Including any anthem, hymn, dirge, or other ceremonial type song. I like the idea that it not only has been translated but that it sounds so good in that form (and probably much easier to sing!)

Has anyone mentioned lately that Bush is an Ass?
