Question about the vertigo dvd

[Galeongirl]

I was wondering, at the beginning of Where the Streets Have No Name, Bono sings something I think African... does anybody have any idea what language it is, and what it means?

 

[macfesto]

probably something he learned on his many trips...

--or--

Bonoese

Bono has done several different things before the beginning of Streets over the years.....it may have been some kind of an African chant or prayer, and there is also another prayer that he does, he recited it during the Super Bowl performance...."What can I give back to God for the Blessings he has bestowed upon me?"

At the May 9 Chicago show, it sounded like an African chant. He did the "What can we give back to God for the blessings you pour down? . . . For the blessings . . . for the blessings . . . ."at Notre Dame in 2001. It's all good!

I meant the chant... I was wondering if anybody has found what he chants and the meaning of it...
