Bobby Darin - Simple Song of Freedom



Come and sing a simple song of freedom                           
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war

Hey there, Mister Black Man can you hear me?
I don't want your diamonds or your game
I just want to be, someone known to you as me
and I will bet my life you want the same

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war

Seven hundred million are you listening?
Most of what you read is made of lies
But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun
To wake to in the morning when we rise?

So come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war

Brother Solzhenitsyn are you busy?
If not would you drop a friend a line?
Tell me if the man, who is plowing up your land
has got the war machine upon his mind

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
That we, the people here, don't want a war

Now no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So let's build them shelves where they can fight among themselves
and leave the people be who like to sing

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
That we the people here, don't want a war

Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
That we the people here, don't want a war

Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!

Ελάτε να τραγουδήσουμε  ένα απλό τραγούδι για την ελευθερία
Τραγουδήστε το όπως ποτέ δεν έχετε τραγουδήσει πριν
Αφήστε το να γεμίσει τον αέρα
Πείτε στους ανθρώπους παντού
Εμείς, οι άνθρωποι εδώ, δεν θέλουμε "πόλεμο"

Με ακούτε ;
Τα περισσότερα από αυτά που διαβάζετε είναι κατασκευασμένα από ψέμματα
Αλλά μιλώντας ο ένας προς τον άλλο, ο ήλιος του καθενός
θα  ξυπνήσει το πρωί, όταν θα ανατέλουμε

Τώρα δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία ότι μερικοί απολαμβάνουν την μάχη
Όπως, πρόεδροι, πρωθυπουργοί και βασιλείς
Ας οικοδομήσουμε τι εξέδρες τους, όπου μπορούν να μάχονται μεταξύ τους
και να αφήσουν τους ανθρώπους να είναι αυτό που τους αρέσει να τραγουδούν

Ελευθερία!
Ελευθερία!
Ελευθερία!
