27 august 2011-Cat Stevens-Where Do The Children Play?

De Folkblog la data August 27, 2011   in Rubrica PIESA ZILEI

Bună dimineaţa, dragilor! Azi vin din nou cu o recomandare muzicală de pe meleaguri străine şi vă servesc cu o piesă din repertoriul lui Cat Stevens.

“Where Do The Children Play” este cântecul care deschide albumul ”Tea for the Tillerman”, apărut în anul 1970.  Atât muzica, cât şi versurile îi aparţin lui Cat Stevens.

O piesă cu mesaj, unul din păcate foarte actual. Lumea în care trăim e într-o continuă “evoluţie”, invenţiile tehnice fac imposibilul posibil în timp ce oamenii încep să aducă tot mai mult a roboţei, uitând de lucrurile cu adevărat importante.

Where Do The Children Play?

muzică şi versuri: Cat Stevens

Well, I think it’s fine building jumbo planes,
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train,
Switch on summer from a slot machine,
Yes, get what you want to if you want,
‘Cause you can get anything.

I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
but tell me, where do the children play?

Well, you roll on roads over fresh green grass,
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough,
But they just go on and on
and it seems that you can’t get off.

Oh, I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
but tell me, where do the children play?

Well, you’ve cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air,
But will you keep on building higher
’til there’s no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live,
will you tell us when to die?

I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?
