Sting

Eine höchst gefühlvolle Präsentation von Sting’s ergreifendem Song Russians aus dem Jahre 1985, der aufgrund des von Diktator Putin angezettelten kriegerischen Überfalls auf die Ukraine heute leider von trauriger Relevanz ist.
Am Cello wird Sting von Ramiro Belgardt begleitet.

Lyrics: Russians

In Europe and America there’s a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, „We will bury you“
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
It’d be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer’s deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president?
There’s no such thing as a winnable war
It’s a lie we don’t believe anymore
Mister Reagan says, „We will protect you“
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
But what might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

Songwriter: Gordon Sumner (Sting)
