... in Gaza tonight

Estoy segura de que la mayoría ya habéis escuchado esta canción decenas de veces antes, así que no os presento nada nuevo.

Me debatía entre subirla o no subirla, porque no me gustaría dar publicidad a un oportunista que escribe canciones utilizando el sufrimiento ajeno para darse publicidad de manera rápida y fácil.

He ido a su web y he comprobado que la canción se puede descargar de forma gratuíta. En palabras del autor "My original intention to donate proceeds from the sale of the MP3 to charity has been complicated by technical matters; therefore, I have decided to make the song available free of charge. I would like to request that after downloading the song from this page, you kindly donate directly to a charity or an organization dedicated to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. Worthy of note is UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East), which has been helping Palestinian refugees since their dispossession in 1949. Please click here to donate through them: http://www.un.org/unrwa/

Cada uno que piense lo que quiera, pero este chico (con o sin dobles intenciones) ya ha hecho más que la BBC, que se ha negado a emitir en su espacio de noticias las campañas de ayuda humanitaria de, entre otras, la Cruz Roja, Oxfam y Save the Children, porque ello socavaría su imparcialidad.

y las letras...

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die

We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
