Vaig tenir l'oportunitat de veure aquesta llegenda viva de la música fa un cert temps al Palau de la Música (Barcelona). Va ser un concert molt emocionant i del qual guardo molt bon record. Aprofito aquest blog per oferir-li un petit homenatge a aquesta gran dona. Aquí us deixo amb un dels seus grans himnes. Espero que algun dia serà una realitat i podrem demostrar a tots aquells líders mundials que diuen actuar en nom nostre (quan ho fan en el seu propi) qui té realment la força ...
PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER
I was dreaming in my dreaming
Of an aspect bright and fair
And my sleeping it was broken
But my dream it lingered near
In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
That the people / have the power
To redeem / the work of fools
Upon the meek / the graces shower
Its decreed / the people rule
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
Vengeful aspects became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars
Exchanging visions
And laying arms
To waste / in the dust
In the form of / shining valleys
Where the pure air / recognized
And my senses / newly opened
I awakened / to the cry
Refrain
Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
Like cream the waters rise
And we strolled there together
With none to laugh or criticize
And the leopard
And the lamb
Lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
To recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
God knows / a purer view
As I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you
Refrain
The power to dream / to rule
To wrestle the world from fools
Its decreed the people rule
Its decreed the people rule
Listen
I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union
We can turn the world around
We can turn the earths revolution
We have the power
People have the power ...

Apa, salut.

És veritat. La Pati Smith és una llegenda de la meva vida, because the nights, aleshores, eren nights de música i descobriments insospitats pels carrers de la vella Barcelona. Potser vaig conèixer un Frederic que es lamentava de tot per clpa d'aquella febre que suposa l'adolescència mal digerida. Què haig de dir de la Patti Smith (rodolí).
