Queridos amigos de este blog:
Os deseo unas felices navidades y un nuevo año muy feliz, rodeados de vuestros seres queridos y de buena música.
Y para despertar todo ese espíritu navideño que seguro lleváis dentro, os traigo este auténtico "temazo", escrito hace ya más de cuarenta años por Ron Miller y Bryan Wells, pero cuyo mensaje continúa siendo tan válido ahora en 2012 como entonces.
Interpretado por el gigante de la música Stevie Wonder, para el que Ron Miller compuso algunos hits durante los primeros años de su carrera, "Someday at Christmas" dio nombre al álbum de música navideña que grabó Stevie Wonder en 1967.
Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care
Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care
Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime
El genial cantante contaba entonces con solo 17 años pero ya nos dejaba interpretaciones magistrales como ésta y muchas más en un álbum de gran emotividad, en el que destaca una poderosa versión del Ave Maria de Schubert acompañado de su armónica.
