Do they know it's Christmas Time

Para os que já eram nascidos e cresciditos, ainda se lembram desta música de caridade produzida em Inglaterra, na altura em que era comum para angariação de fundos para ajudar as crianças em África. Outra, seria o famoso, "We are the world", produzida esta nos Estados Unidos. Eu não me fartava de ouvir esta música, e quando não estava a ver o videoclip, tentava advinhar quem eram as vozes: Bob Geldof, Paul Young, Boy George,George Michael, Sting, Simon Le Bon, entre muitos outros...Vale a pena recordar...

A letra:

DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS
15/12/1984 - 5 weeks at #1 - 20 weeks on chart
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy

Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all

(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all

Feed the world, feed the world, feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
