Una canción: One life (Lisa Ekdahl 2009)

"There's just one race and it's the human race / There's just one face babe it's your face"

Lisa Ekdahl es un magnífica cantante sueca de pop y jazz. En su último disco publicado -y nominado para los Grammys suecos en 2009-Give that slow knowing smile, incluye una muy bella canción, One life, que se convierte en un canto sencillo a la igualdad de todos: no hay más que una vida, no hay más que una cara, la del otro. Todos somos uno. Podemos estar buscando siempre elementos que nos impidan reconocer esa profunda verdad, pero ésta siempre acaba aflorando: es más importante lo que nos une que lo que nos separa. Solo una vida, un solo rostro..., el de todos.

One Life

You say we have nothing in common
I wouldn't say that if i were you
All of us come in through the same door
That much if nothing else i know is true
All of us will very soon be leaving
We were brought here, soon we will depart
Now i don't care if someone says i'm foolish
Cause while i'm here i'm singing from my heart

Chorus
There's just one life coming from that one place
There's just one face and it's your face
There's just one life going to that one place
There's just one face and it's God's face
And it's in
Everyone it's in every place
It is everywhere that one face
I can see it shining trough
Can't you see it shining trough
Don't tell me that you don't
Just tell me that you do

I wouldn't want hurt, i wouldn't
I wouldn't wanna to do you harm
All of us came in trough the same door
Now would you let me sleep in your arms
All of us will very soon be leaving
We were brought here, soon we will depart
Now i don't care if someone says i'm foolish
Cause while i'm here, i'm singing from my heart

Chrous
There's just one race and it's the human race
There's just one face babe it's your face
I can you see it shining trough
Can't you see it shining trough
Don't tell me that you don't
Just tell me that you do

There's just One Life
