JUEVES - LYRICS ("Sowing the Seed of Love - Tears for Fears")

- Sowing the Seed of Love - Tears for Fears
 
High time we made a stand
and shook up the views of the common man.
And the love train rides from coast to coast
DJ's the man we love the most.
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
and smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says you're free to choose
there's egg on your face and mud on your shoes.
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues, yeah, yeah.
 
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love.
(Anything is possible when you're sowing the seeds of love)
Sowing the seeds.
Sowing the seeds of love.
(Anything is possible)
Seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds.
 
I spy tears in their eyes.
They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention.
Food goes to waste
so nice to eat, so nice to taste.
Politician granny with your high ideals.
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So, without love and a promised land
we're fools to the rules of a government plan.
Kick out the style, bring back the jam.
 
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love.
(Anything)
Sowing the seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds.
 
Sowing the seeds
the birds and the bees.
My girlfriend and me
in love.
 
Feel the pain, talk about it.
If you're a worried man, then shout about it.
Open hearts, feel about it.
Open minds, think about it.
Everyone, read about it.
Everyone, scream about it.
Everyone.
Everyone, yeah, yeah.
Everyone read about it, read about it.
Everyone.
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks,
there are books to read for us.
 
Sowing the seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds of love.
We're sowing the seeds,
sowing the seeds,
sowing the seeds of love.
We're sowing the seeds.
Sowing the seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds of love.
Mr. England sowing the seeds of love.
 
Time to eat all your words,
swallow your pride,
open your eyes. (x2)
 
High time we made a stand.
Time to eat all your words
and shook up the views of the common man.
Open your eyes
every minute of every hour
I love a sunflower.
Open your eyes
and I believe in love power.
Love power.
Love power.
 
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds,
sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds
sowing the seeds
sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds of love, sowing the seeds,
sowing the seeds.
 
An end to need
and the politics of greed
with love.
 
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love.
(Anything, anything)
Sowing the seeds.
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love.
Sowing the seeds. (x2)
 
- Notas: Esta canción es una llamada a la acción para hacer del mundo algo mejor tomando la iniciativa en lugar de dejarlo todo en manos de los políticos. Así, las "seeds of love" son esas pequeñas acciones que cuando crezcan pueden cambiar las cosas. Lo que la canción busca es que la gente deje de hablar sobre mejorar las cosas, y tome la iniciativa porque los políticos van a actuar siguiendo sus intereses egoístas, y la prensa colabora con el poder para hacernos creer que somos libres. La "politician granny" de la que se habla es Margaret Thatcher.
- 1. “…High time…” = Se usa referido a eventos que finalmente tienen lugar tras una larga espera. Lo podríamos traducir por "Ya era hora".
- 2. “…made a stand…” = Es una expresión que se usa para indicar el ponerse firmes ante una situación y plantarle cara.
- 3. “…squeaky clean …” = Nada que ver con los sonidos agudos ("squeaky"). Este giro se usa para indicar que algo está más allá de todo reproche, sin vicio o mancha alguna. En la canción indicaría la conducta intachable de un político que no estuviera afectado por la corrupción.
- 4. “…the crannies and the nooks…” = Para cuadrarlo con la canción el autor ha tenido que modificar la expresión original ("every nook and cranny") que se usa para indicar el buscar algo en todas partes, hasta en los lugares más escondidos.
