Para este domingo


Porquê?
... são precisas razões?!
Então vai uma:
Paul Robeson

e porque... como ele canta

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
Oh! my brother
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
Oh! my sister
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
A long ways from home

há muitas outras versões desta canção do tempo da escravatura, como:
"SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A MOTHERLESS CHILD"

from « American Negro Spirituals»
by J. W. Johnson, J. R. Johnson, 1926

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
True believer
A long ways from home
Along ways from home
Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Way up in de heab’nly land
Way up in de heab’nly land
True believer
Way up in de heab’nly land
Way up in de heab’nly land
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home
There’s praying everywhere
