MADRID, 20 Abr. (EDIZIONES) -
Bruce Springsteen y su viejo amigo Joe Grushecky han vuelto a unir sus caminos para lanzar una canción protesta contra el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, titulada That's what makes us great, en respuesta al eslogan de campaña del republicano, Make Ameriga great again.
Grushecky ya tenía la canción bastante terminada antes de que las aportaciones de su colega Springsteen la convirtieran en una colaboración que, en su forma definitiva, está ya disponible para descarga por 0,99 dólares en www.grushecky.com.
"Se la mandé y le gustó. Le pregunté si quería cantar en ella y le dio el tratamiento Bruce", ha explicado a The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Grushecky, quien interpreta la música del tema junto a su banda The Houserockers. Springsteen ayuda en las tareas vocales.
LETRA DE LA CANCIÓN
Grushecky:
They come from everywhere
All longing to be free
They come to join us here
From sea to shining sea
Grushecky and Springsteen:
And they all have a dream
As people always will
To be safe and warm
In that shining city on the hill
Grushecky:
Some wanna slam the door
Instead of opening the gate
Ah, let's turn this thing around
Before it gets too late
Grushecky and Springsteen:
It's up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
I know this to be true
That's what makes us great
Springsteen:
Don't tell me a lie
And sell it as a fact
I've been down that road before
And I ain't goin' back
And don't you brag to me
That you never read a book
I never put my faith
In a con man and his crooks
Grushecky and Springsteen:
I won't follow down that path
And tempt the hands of fate
Ah, let's turn this thing around
Before it gets too late
It's up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
I know this to be true
That's what makes us great
Springsteen:
In the quiet of the night
I lie here wide awake
And I ask myself
Is there a difference I can make?
Grushecky and Springsteen:
Is there a difference I can make?
It's up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
It's up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
It's up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
I know this to be true
And that's what makes us great
That's what makes us great
That's what makes us great
That's what makes us great
