BARN AV REGNBUEN & MY RAINBOW RACE
BARN AV REGNBUEN(-My Rainbow Race-)
Tekst: Lillebjørn Nilsen. Musikk: Pete Seeger. ©
En himmel full av stjerner. Blått hav så langt du ser. En jord der blomster gror. Kan du ønske mer?
Sammen skal vi leve. Hver søster og hver bror. Små barn av regnbuen og en frodig jord. Noen tror det ikke nytter.
Andre kaster tiden bort med prat. Noen tror at vi kan leve av Plast og syntetisk mat. Og noen stjeler fra de unge som blir sendt ut for og slåss. Noe stjeler fra de mange
som kommer etter oss.
En himmel full av... Men si det til alle barna! Si det til hver far og mor: Ennå har vi en sjanse
til å dele et håp og en jord. En himmel full av...
'My Rainbow Race' Words and music by Pete Seeger (1967) © 1970 by Sanga Music Inc.
CHORUS:
One blue sky above us,
One ocean lapping all our shores, One Earth so green and round, Who could ask for more? And because I love you, I’ll give it one more try. To show my Rainbow Race It’s too soon to die.
Some folks want to be like an ostrich, Bury their heads in the sand.
Some hope that plastic dreams
Can unclench all those greedy hands. Some hope to take the easy way,
Poisons, bombs, they think we need ‘em.
Don’t you know you can’t kill all the unbelievers? There’s no shortcut to freedom.
CHORUS
Go tell, go tell all--- the little children. Tell all their mothers and fathers, too -- Now’s our last chance to learn to share What’s been given to me and you.
