So this is Christmas….di Annalisa Belluco

Il 24 Novembre del 1972 (io avevo solo due anni), veniva incisa questa canzone che a mio parere assieme alle classiche "carole natalizie" è una delle piu' belle canzoni scritte per il Natale anche e soprattuto perché è una canzone che non conosce confini ed è immortale proprio come il ricordo del grande artista che la scrisse. Associandomi alla frase che John Lennon riportò in un'altra indimenticabile canzone "I'm only a dreamer, but I'm not the only one", auguro:

Un Buon Natale a tutti e un 2001 ricco di Pace!

So this is Christmas, and what have you done

Another year over, and a new one just begun.

And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear one, the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas, and a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear.

So this is Christmas, for weak and for strong,
For rich and the poor ones, the world is so wrong.
And so happy Christmas, for black and for white,
for yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fight.
A very merry Christmas, and a happy new year,
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear.

So this is Christmas, and what have you done
Another year over, and a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear one, the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas, and a happy new year,
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear.
War is over if you want it, war is over now.
