During the last year,

my family and me,

we tried to do just that.

We traveled around the world


and sang to people

in about two dozen different countries.

An d I tried to give them a taste of,

just a hint of,

the different kinds of people

that live in these United States.

And I also tried to sing at least one song

in their language

because, you know, Americans have a kind of a

bad reputation throughout the world

that we don't ever extend ourself

to try and learn their language.

We seem to always expect

that they've got to learn our language.

So I found myself trying to sing,


although I couldn't do it too well,

in Japanese and Indonesian,

Hindi, Swahili, Yoruba, Hebrew, Italian,

Russian, Polish, Czech.

Now of course I can't really sing those

songs.

I'm not gonna try even here to sing

them.

I'd make a damn fool of myself.

I remember Mahalia Jackson

once told me, she says, Pete

I love to hear people sing their

own songs

because they can sing them so much better

than anybody else.

But there was one country we visited

which spoke a language

a little bit like English and I

I thought I'd try singing one

of their songs.

We were up in Glasgow, Scotland

and I heard a young fellow

named Matt McGinn

sing a song he'd

written himself.

Now I can't pronounce the

words exactly right

but I'll do my best.

It can't be translated into English

you know you lose the poetry

when you try and translate it.

Matt McGinn says this

is a song

about the transport revolution

that has changed Glasgow into

a one -horse tun.

Tun is the way they say town.

Town, down, around.

In Glasgow they say tun, dun, run.

I've heard men complain

It's a sweet chorus,

you can help me out on it.

Ah, the streets o 'er the Tyne

were a -covered a -run

With stuff that was beautiful,

golden and brun

It was put there, of course,

by a big Clydesdale horse

And its name was Maneura Maneura

And as often as no

It was all for the rent,
