Testo '39 - Live In Sheffield / 2005 - Queen feat. Paul Rodgers
Testo della canzone '39 - Live In Sheffield / 2005 (Queen feat. Paul Rodgers), tratta dall'album Return Of The Champions
Okay, you don't expect comedy from me, do you? (Yes, yeah)
You won't get it, okay, um, you know I have to say something
I get a very strange feeling about time
Coming out here and sitting amongst all of you here
It's a priv-, very privilege position to be sitting where I am, um
I can hardly believe it, it- it's, it's like you have to keep pinchin' yourself
It was almost 19 years ago when Queen last trod the boards up here in Sheffield
And ah, in some ways it seems like yesterday
In some ways, it's a very long time and I look around I see a lot of wonderful friendly faces
Thank you all for being here
And the amazing thing is, the amazing thing is some of you I do know
And some of you guys, I look, and you kind of look familiar, but actually you know
You're probably not, or, or even just born when, ah, when this last happened, welcome to you all, we love ya
Which brings me to the theme of this song, which I'd like to sing for you
And I'd like you to sing with me if you're up for it, you wanna sing? (Yeah)
Okay, I'm just gonna tell you this song is about time as well, it's about a
It's about a man who goes off in a silver spaceship to, ah, discover new lands
Which he manages to do but when he comes back he, ah, he feels like he's only a year older
But to the people back on earth, his planet is a hundred years older
And, ah, you wanna sing? (Yeah) it goes like this
In the year of '39, assembled here the volunteers
In the days when the lands were few
And the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the storytellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
Don't you (hear my call, though you're many years away?)
Don't you hear me calling you?
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and gray, little darling we'll away
But, my love, this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away?
(Don't you hear me calling you?)
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away?
Don't you hear me calling you?
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
God bless all of you
Whoa, thank you
