Session 5: Global nation,
global you
England, Half English
My mother was half English and I’m half English too
I’m a great big bundle of culture tied up in the red white and blue
I’m a fine example of your Essex man
And I’m well familiar with the Hindustan
Cos my neighbours are half English and I’m half English too
My breakfast was half English and so am I you know
I had a plate of Marmite soldiers washed down with a cappuccino
And I have a veggie curry about once a week
The next day I fry it up as bubble and squeak
Cos my appetite’s half English and I’m half English too

Tu Cristo es judío
Tu coche es japonés,
Tu pizza es italiana y tu couscous argelino
Tu democracia es griega
Tu café es brasileño,
Tu reloj es suízo, tu camisa es india
Y tu radio es coreana,
Tus vacaciones son turcas,tunecinas o marroquís
Tus números son árabes, tu escritura es latina
Y… tu reprochas a tu vecino el ser extranjero.

Ton Christ est Juif
Ta voiture est japonaise
Ta pizza est italienne
Ton couscous est algérien
Ta démocratie est grecque
Ton café est brésilien
Ta montre est suisse, ta chemise est indienne
Ta radio est coréenne, tes vacances sont tunisiennes
Tes chiffres sont arabes, ton écriture est latine
Et tu reproches à ton voisin d'être étranger
