Chritsmas' (and New Year) songs: Happy X-Mas (War is Over) - The Corrs

Voilà la chanson parfaite pour l'"entre" Noël et Nouvel An! Happy X-Mas (War is Over) est une chanson de John Lennon et Yoko Ono que j'aime beaucoup, avec des paroles fortes. Visant à dénoncer à l'origine la guerre du Vietnam, elle est entrée désormais dans les chants traditionnels de Noël. Place ici à la version live donnée par The Corrs, dont j'apprécie les arrangements.

Les paroles:

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let’s stop all the fight

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
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

Happy Xmas
