Mercy Mercy Me, ¿ande vamos a acabar?

Esta es una de esas canciones que generalmente pasarían desapercibidas pero que, por circunstancias conscientes o inconscientes, te calan hondo.

Temilla ecologista del amigo Marvin Gaye que por una vez deja de intentar seducir al personal para hacerse amigo de la naturaleza.



Y aquí tenéis la letrilla...

Ah, mercy, mercy me,
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east.

Mercy, mercy me,
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
our seas fish full of mercury,

Oh, mercy, mercy me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no.
Radiation underground and in the sky;
animals and birds who live near by are dying.

Oh, mercy, mercy me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
What about this over crowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Temazo, ¿eh?
