My primary LOVES languages. They want to learn and their passion inspires me to continually indulge their love of learning. So, I introduced singing the Hello Song as "Bonjour" or "Hola" instead of "Hello". They loved it so much that's the only song they wanted to sing.
As happenstance would have it, another chorister who's blog I follow posted a bunch of other languages and ways to sing "Hello" and wrote them on popsicle sticks (which I like and might do too) Check it out!

EDIT:
P.S. I used this idea for my "wiggle/wake-up" songs before openning prayer and also at the beginning of singing time. They LOVED it. Especially "konnichiwa" and "ciao". I also had the pianst speed up more than our normal relaxed tempo, which I've always thought was a bit too slow anyhow. I didn't use all the 11 or so popsicle sticks I made, but it gives them something to look forward to!
