Bono opened the third annual MTV Video Music Awards Latin America last week via a pre-recorded video. Wearing a top hat and speaking in Spanish, Bono greeted the Latin audience in this way:

Senoras y Senores!
Pasen y vean!
llego el circo!
Bestias del Rock and Roll
Magos del Pop
Bandas en vivo y sin red
y la lengua más grande del planeta
Bienvenidos a los MTV Music Awards
Latin America two thousand and…1, 2, 3, 14.

Translation:

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Come and see!
The circus is here!
Rock and Roll Beasts!
Pop’s magicians!
Live Bands without a safety net
and the biggest tongue on the planet!
Welcome to MTV Music Awards Latin America two thousand and…1, 2, 3, 14.

A video [12MB] is available to download at U2Arg.com (as a ZIP).
