What a Wonderful World

Nick Cave & Shane MacGowan,1992

(Escuchar en Goear.com)

I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I see em bloom
for me and for you.
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue,
clouds of white.
Bright blessed days,
dark sacred nights.
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow
so pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces
of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands
sayin’ How do you do?
They’re really sayin’
I love you.
I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow.
They’ll learn much more
than I’ll never know.
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.

"In the Guetto"

 

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, 1982

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
the child needs a helping hand
or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
are we too blind to see,
do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way

Well the world turns
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
so he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
a young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
on a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
