Sting per l'Ucraina


L'altra sera al TG1 c'è stato un servizio su Sting che ha ricantato a 37 anni dall'incisione la sua bellissima canzone "Russians" tratta dall'album "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" uscito nel 1985. Mai avrebbe pensato di doverlo fare in occasione di un'altra guerra con la Russia coinvolta. Non l'ho mai messa e al di là del momento è decisamente un pezzo da pubblicare. Buon ascolto!Russians (Sting)In Europe and AmericaThere’s a growing feeling of hysteriaConditioned to respond to all the threatsIn the rhetorical speeches of the SovietsMr. Khrushchev said we will bury youI don’t subscribe to this point of viewIt would be such an ignorant thing to doIf the Russians love their children tooHow can I save my little boyFrom Oppenheimer’s deadly toy?There is no monopoly of common senseOn either side of the political fenceWe share the same biologyRegardless of ideologyBelieve me when I say to youI hope the Russians love their children too[Instrumental break]There is no historical precedentTo put the words in the mouth of the presidentThere’s no such thing as a winnable warIt’s a lie we don’t believe anymoreMr. Reagan says we will protect youI don’t subscribe to this point of viewBelieve me when I say to youI hope the Russians love their children tooWe share the same biologyRegardless of ideologyWhat might save us me and youIs if the Russians love their children too
