High Tide or Low Tide, Ben Harper & Jack Johnson

Oggi, prima di correre a nanna, è il turno del post musicale e voglio offrire questo capolavoro di Ben Harper e Jack Johnson, High Tide or Low Tide. Il brano è di Bob Marley ed è stato interpretato magicamente da questo duetto che ci ha regalato una cover che ti mette i brividi solo a sentire l'intreccio di voci e chitarre, con il solito eccellente Ben Harper, per non parlare del testo che ovviamente ha tutte le caratteristiche della poesia di Bob Marley.
Concedetevi cinque minuti di pausa, chiudete gli occhi e immergetevi nell'alchimia delle note...

Ecco l'originale in inglese, non c'è nemmeno bisogno di traduzione ;)

In high seas or in low seas
I'm gonna be your friend,
I'm gonna be your friend.
In high tide or in low tide,
I'll be by your side,
I'll be by your side.

(I heard her praying, praying, praying)
I said, I heard my mother,
She was praying (praying, praying, praying)
And the words that she said (the words that she said),
They still linger in my head (lingers in my head),
She said, "A child is born in this world,
He needs protection,
Got, guide and protect us,
When we're wrong, please correct us.
(when we're wrong, correct us).
And stand by me." yeah!

In high seas or in low seas,
I'm gonna be your friend,
He said, "I'm gonna be your friend."
And, baby, in high tide or low tide,
I'll be by your side,
I'll be by your side.

I siad I heard my mother,
She was crying' (I heard her crying'), yeah! (crying', crying'),
And the tears that she shed (the tears that she shed)
They still linger in my head (lingers in my head)

She said: "A child is born in this world,
He needs protection,
Got, guide and protect us,
When we're wrong, (when we're wrong), correct us.

And in high seas or low seas,
I'm gonna be your friend,
I'm gonna be your friend.
Said, high tide or low tide,
I'll be by your side,
I'll be by your side.
