JUEVES - LYRICS ("Happy Christmas (the war is over) – John Lennon")

- Happy Christmas - John Lennon

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.

And so this is Christmas,

for weak and for strong,

for rich and the poor ones

the road is so long.

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.

And so this is Christmas,

and what have we done?

Another year over,

and a new one just begun.

And so happy Christmas,

we 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.

- Notas:

Si bien esta canción ha pasado a ser un villancico (“Christmas carol”), originariamente era una canción protesta contra la participación en la guerra de Vietnam por parte de Estados Unidos.

- 1. “Merry / happy Chrismas” = “Happy” es un adjetivo que puede usarse con cualquier celebración o contexto, mientras que “merry” es un término mucho más antiguo y actualmente solo se oye junto a “Christmas”. Por otro lado, los americanos usan sobretodo “merry Christmas”, mientras que los británicos suelen usar mas la formula “happy Christmas” para felicitar la Navidad.
