Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry

In lume , in fiecare zi se duc lupte: cu noi insine, cu familia si prietenii, cu statul, politica, justitia, nedreptatea.Cu alte tari.
Oare e atat de greu sa luam o pauza de sarbatori?Unde e unitatea prin diversitate?
Unde e dorinta de pace?

Ne mai raman doar cantecele, ca o voce universala, ce reflecta durerea si dorinta de a merge acasa.La inceput "Stop the cavalry" nu a fost conceput ca si colind.Era un strigat, al soldatului din transee, dincolo de timp...dar un vers a schimbat totul:

"Wish I was at home for Christmas."

Prin el am ajuns sa cunoastem aceasta melodie ca unul din cele mai populare colinde.Cati mai asculta astazi mesajul melodiei?
Cati mai doresc astazi pacea?

Anul acesta, soldatii au avut parte de Craciun?




Versuri:

Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
To say we're doing splendidly.
But it's very cold out 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 every night,
Down throughout these centuries.
That is when I say, oh yes yet again,
Can you stop the cavalry?

Mary Bradley waits at home,
In the nuclear fallout zone.
Wish I could be dancing now,
In the arms of the girl I love.

Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dum-dum-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dum-dum-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas.

Bang goes 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.

Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dum-dum-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dum-dum-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas.

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 Chrïstmas.
