Universal soldier

Ég setti saman nokkrar myndir við ljóð og lag Buffy St. Marie 

Universal Soldier (Alheimslegi hermaðurinn) flutt af Donovan.

Það er komið til ára sinna veit ég , 

þótt boðskapurinn eigi e.t.v. aldrei betur við. 

Það eru fleiri sem hafa gert þetta sama og það má finna 

á youtube nokkrar slíkar tilraunir. 

En þetta er sem sagt mitt mitt framlag. 

UNIVERSAL SOLDIER


He is five foot two,
anbd he's six feet four,
he fights with missiles and with spears,
he is all of thirty-one,
and he's only a seventeen,
's been a soldier for thousands years.


He's a Catolic, a Hindy,
an atheist, A Chein,
A Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew,
and he knows, he shouldn't kill,
and he knows, he always will,
care for me, my friend, and I will care for you.


And he's fighting for Canada,
he's fighting for France,
he's fighting for the USA
and he's fighting for the Russains,
he's fihgting for Japan,
and he thinks we put an end to war this way.


And he's fighting for democrazy,
he's fighting for the Reds,
he says it's for the peace of all,
he's the one who must decide,
who's to live and who's to die,
and he never sees the writing on the wall.


And without him, how would Hitler
kill the people at Dachau,
without him Cesar would have stood alone,
he's the one, who gives his body
as a weapon of the war,
and without him always killing cant gho on.


He's the universal soldier,
and he really is to blame,
his orders came from far away, no more,
they came from here and there,
and you and me ain't brothers,
can't you see,
this is not the way we put an end to war.

Takk fyrir þessa færslu. Þar sem eru örfáar vitleysur í textanum sendi ég þér réttan texta. Donovan söng þetta lag einu sinni en lag og texti er eftir Buffy St. Marie sem er amerískur indíáni.

He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
He fights with missiles and with spears.
He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen,
Been a soldier for a thousand years.

He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain,
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew.
And he knows he shouldn't kill,
And he knows he always will,
Kill you for me my friend and me for you.

And he's fighting for Canada,
He's fighting for France,
He's fighting for the USA,
And he's fighting for the Russians,
And he's fighting for Japan,
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way.

And he's fighting for Democracy,
He's fighting for the Reds,
He says it's for the peace of all.
He's the one who must decide,
Who's to live and who's to die,
And he never sees the writing on the wall.

But without him,
How would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau?
Without him Caesar would have stood alone,
He's the one who gives his body
As a weapon of the war,
And without him all this killing can't go on.

He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame,
His orders come from far away no more,
They come from here and there and you and me,
And brothers can't you see,
This is not the way we put the end to war.

Takk fyrir þær leiðréttingar Guðni :) Hafði reyndar heyrt að Donovan ætti ekki textann eða lagið en gat ekki fundið höfundarheitið.
