Dia 17-12-07 : One Love ( Bob Marley )

Às vezes, a eloquência é simples, quase a preto e banco. Como aqui.

Influência natalicia ? Nem por isso. O apelo das mãos impõe-se por elas mesmas, como se o gesto fosse a própria legenda.
Lembrou-me outras imagens, outros rostos e lembranças em que o denominador comum evoca a partilha de algo, em que na concha das maos cabe aquilo que cada um quiser.

----- Bob Marley: One Love ( 1977 )

One Love!

One Heart!

Let's get together and feel all right.

Hear the children cryin'

(One Love!);

Hear the children cryin'

(One Heart!),

Sayin': give thanks and praise

to the Lord and I will feel all right;

Sayin': let's get together

and feel all right.

Wo wo-wo wo-wo!

Let them all pass all their dirty

remarks (One Love!);

There is one question

I'd really love to ask (One Heart!):

Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,

Who has hurt all mankind just

to save his own beliefs?

One Love!

What about the one heart?

One Heart!

What about?

Let's get together and feel all right

As it was in the beginning

(One Love!);

So shall it be in the end

(One Heart!),

All right!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord

and I will feel all right;

Let's get together

and feel all right.

One more thing!

Let's get together to fight

this Holy Armagiddyon

(One Love!),

So when the Man comes there will be no,

no doom (One Song!).

Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner;

There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

Sayin': One Love!

What about the One Heart?

(One Heart!)

What about the?

Let's get together and feel all right.

I'm pleadin' to mankind!

(One Love!);

Oh, Lord!

(One Heart)

Wo-ooh!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord

and I will feel all right;

Let's get together and feel all right.

Give thanks and praise to the Lord

and I will feel all right;

Let's get together and feel all right.
