HABLANDO DE REVOLUCIONES... / Talking about revolutions...

Buscaba una canción como banda sonora del movimiento 15-M y fui directamente a esta canción de Tracey Chapman "TALKING 'BOUT A REVOLUTION" ("Hablando de una revolución") de 1988 y que parece haber tenido gran repercusión en la radios de Túnez durante las revueltas de este año, y es que su letra se adapta a la situación de crisis actual. Si sirve para cambiar algo...

I was looking for a song as sopundtrack for the 15-M movement and I immediately thought about Tracey Chapman's song "TALKING 'BOUT A REVOLUTION" from 1988, which seems to have had heavy radio air play during the Tunisian revolution early this year, and it's because the lyrics adapt to the present crisis. If it changes something...

Letra/Lyrics:

Don't you know

They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines

Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs
Don't you know
You better run...
Oh I said you better
Run
run
run...
