BRING 'EM HOME

* This is a song for soldiers everywhere…

BRING ‘EM HOME

Pete Seeger wrote ‘Bring Them Home’ in 1965 as an anthem for the Vietnam anti-war movement. This version includes one new verse written by record producer Jim Musselman during the invasion of Iraq. I wrote two verses and added several from the classic Civil War song, ‘When Johnny Comes Marching Home’.

If you love this land of the free

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

Bring them back from overseas

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

It will make the politicians sad, I know

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

They wanna tangle with their foe

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

They wanna test their grand theories

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

With the blood of you and me

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

Now we'll give no more brave young lives

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

For the gleam in someone's eyes

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

The men will cheer and the boys will shout

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

Yeah and we will all turn out

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

The church bells will ring with joy

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

To welcome our darlin' girls and boys

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

We willl lift our voice in song

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

When Johnny comes marching home

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

Bring them back from overseas

Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

* Esta es una canción para soldados de todo el mundo…

TRAEDLOS A CASA

Pete Seeger escribió ‘Bring Them Home’ en 1965 como un himno para el movimiento contra la Guerra de Vietnam. Esta versión incluye una nueva estrofa escrita por el productor Jim Musselman durante la invasión de Irak. Yo escribí dos estrofas y añadí varios versos del clásico de la guerra civil, ‘When Johnny Comes Marching Home’.

Si amáis esta tierra de libertad

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Traedlos del otro lado del mar

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Provocará tristeza en los políticos

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Quieren enredar con su enemigo

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Quieren probar sus grandes teorías

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Con vuestra sangre y la mía

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

No daremos más vidas de jóvenes valientes

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Para iluminar los ojos de alguien

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Los hombres reirán y los niños gritarán

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Sí, y todos se alegrarán

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Las campanas repicarán de alegría

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Para recibir a nuestros niños y niñas

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Alzaremos la voz en canciones

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Cuando Johnny regrese a casa

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa

Traedlos del otro lado del mar

Traedlos a casa, traedlos a casa
