Esta canción la escuché por primera vez cuando tenía 11 años. Mi primo Leonel la puso minutos antes de que se hicieran las 12 de la noche del 24 de diciembre de 1984. A partir de ese momento, esa canción fue un clásico de cada navidad y lo que me recordaba la hermosa familia que tenía. Navidad junto a ellos era lo mejor que podía pasarme. Mi abuelo Poroto, mi abuela Victoria, mis padrinos, mi prima Viru, mi primo Leonel.
Hoy puse esa canción en casa y mi sobrina Juani de 5 años empezó a cantarla conmigo. Se me llenaron los ojos de lágrimas de escucharla cantar así y pensé que ella sí podía tener una familia así pero durante toda su vida.
Do they know it's Christmas
Paul Young
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
Boy George
And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy!
Throw your arms around the world at christmas time
(Phil Collins on the drums)
George Micheal
But say a prayer - pray for the other ones
At christmas time
Simon Le Bon
it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
Sting and Simon Le Bon
And it's a world of dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing is a bitter sting of tears
And the christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
Bono
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's christmas time at all?
Here's to you
Raise your glass for everyone
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time
I hope you like this song even though its not christmas!
