Natale con Stop The Cavalry: no alla guerra

Spread the love

E’ una canzone perfetta per il periodo natalizio Stop The Cavalry di Jona Lewie. Si perché parla della guerra, spiegando quanto sia crudele e da evitare e forse proprio in questi giorni in cui si è ricettivi maggiormente, è più facile smuovere le coscienze. In più, è possibile fermarsi a pensare, trovare un attimo di relax dal lavoro e rendersi conto di quanto in fondo si sia fortunati ad avere dalla vita quello che ci serve per stare bene. Ecco il testo:

Hey
Mister Churchill comes over here to say we’re doing splendidly
But it’s very cold up here in the snow marching to and from the enemy
Oh
I say it’s tough I have had enough
can you stop the cavalry
I have had to fight almost ev’ry night down throughout the centuriesThat is when I say
oh yes
yet again can you stop the cavalry
Mary Bradley waits at home in the nuclear fallout zoneWish I could be dancing now in the arms of the girl I love
Lum a-lum a-lum lum lum a-lum a-lum lum lum lum a-lum lum
(a-lum a-lum)
Lum a-lum a-lum lum lum a-lum a-lum lum lum lum a-lum lum
(a-lum a-lum)
Wish I was at home for Christmas
Bang! There’s another bomb on another town while the Czar and
(Jim have tea)

If I get home
live to tell the tale I’ll run for all Presidencies
If I get elected I’ll stop
I will stop the cavalry
I have had to fight almost ev’ry night down throughout the centuries

Lum a-lum a-lum lum lum a-lum a-lum lum lum lum a-lum lum
(a-lum a-lum)
Wish I could be dancing now in the arms of the girl I love

Mary Bradley waits at home
she’s been waiting two years long
Wish I was at home for Christmas
