La canzone giusta per la lotta globale contro il Coronavirus? Noi abbiamo scelto “People have the Power” in questa versione qui.
Lo storico brano di Patty Smith ci è sembrato davvero quello giusto per raccontare questo brutto periodo fatto di continui Dpcm, autocertificazioni per uscire di casa, e impossibilità di abbracciarci.
Yayo Herrero, una attivista ecofemminista, ha condiviso su Facebook un video che mette davvero la carica. Patti Smith canta la canzone giusta contro il Coronavirus all’interno di una chiesa.
Un luogo sacro che diventa carico di energia grazie alle voci della gente che si uniscono ad un coro dalla potenza indescrivibile.
Ora il video ve lo mostriamo, perché possiate goderne anche voi. In fondo, sì, abbiamo davvero il potere di fare qualcosa di buono, sempre, per noi e per gli altri.
Eccovi allora il video e a seguire il testo, così che possiate unirvi a questo coro. Buon ascolto!

Il testo di People Have the Power
I was dreaming in my dreaming
Of an aspect bright and fair
And my sleeping it was broken
But my dream it lingered near
In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
That the people have the power
To redeem the work of fools
Upon the meek the graces shower
It’s decreed the people ruleThe people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the powerVengeful aspects became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars
Exchanging visions
And laying arms
To waste in the dust
In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cryThe people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the powerWhere there were deserts
I saw fountains
Like cream the waters rise
And we strolled there together
With none to laugh or criticize
And the leopard
And the lamb
Lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
To recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
God knows a purer view
As I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to youThe people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the powerThe power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the world from fools
It’s decreed the people rule
It’s decreed the people rule
Listen
I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union
We can turn the world around
We can turn the earth’s revolution
We have the power
People have the powerThe people have the power
The people have the powerThe power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the world from fools
It’s decreed the people rule
It’s decreed the people rule
We have the power
People have the power
We have the power…
