Story about this misheard lyric by: Amber Wayland

On first listening to this on a Christmas CD of mine, it sounded exactly like they said "One small voice, away too strong". But I wondered why they would say that, as it doesn't go along at all with the song generaly, which is about the good that one small voice can do. So calling it "too strong" just wouldn't make sense. I listened again, more closely, but the pronunciation of that line was obscure. With some difficulty, I found the words online. It was a bit hard because there are several different "One Small Voice" songs with different lyrics, but with some confusing resemblance among them. The version that came up most was by Sesame Street. Its second verse seemed to start off similar to this song's first verse, but soon it was clear that they weren't the same. Finally I found this version and learned the correct lyrics.

Foreign Language in English Songs:

"One Small Voice"
The Lyrics:
Kumbaya, Kumbaya.
Kumbaya, kumbaya.
It doesn't matter what the language only what we say.
Give us peace on earth this Christmas day.
Why:
The comment, "It doean't matter what the language" is interesting, since "Kumbaya" (a.k.a. Kum Ba Yah) is definitely a language other than English, but its language of origin is disputed, as best I can tell. I checked Wikipedia, which calls "Kum Ba Ya" the "now world famous Angolan text" to the song "Kumbayah". But later it also states that "Kumbayah" comes ffom the Gullah language, in which it means "Come by here". Gullah is a language of descendants of slaves now living on coastal islands in Georgia and South Carolina. Angola is an african country considerably farther south than where the slave trade took place, so the reason for any similarity between an Angolan and a Gullah version of the phrase is unexplained by any source that I've come across. In any event the words of the song "Kumbayah", "Kumbayah, my Lord, Kumbayah" are generally understood to mean "Come by here, my Lord, come by here." So the lyrics to "One Small Voice" quoted avove might seem to vaguly equate that message with "Give us peace on Earth this Christmas day". That, ironically, doesn't lend much support to any suggestion that either the language OR what we say matters all that much!
