Happy Xmas (War is Over)

Happy Xmas (War is Over) es una maravillosa canción de mi admirado John Lennon grabada y lanzada como sencillo en 1971 en Estados Unidos, aunque en el Reino Unido el lanzamiento se retrasaría un año. En la canción participa, además de la que era su mujer Yoko Ono, el coro de niños del Harlem Community Choir. Realmente esta canción que se ha convertido en una de las más cantadas por diferentes artistas y que aparece en todos los recopilatorios navideños, se escribió como una canción protesta contra la Guerra de Vietnam.

So this is Christmas

And what have you done?

Another year over

And 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

The 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 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
