Ethiopia — текст песни (Joni Mitchell)





Hot winds and hunger cries--ethiopia

Flies in your babies eyes--ethiopia

Walking sticks on burning plains

Betrayed by politics

Abandoned by the rains

On and on--the human need

On and on--the human greed profanes

Ethiopia--ethiopia--ethiopia



Your top soil flies away--ethiopia

We pump ours full of poison spray--ethiopia

Between the brown skies and sprinkling lawns

I hear the whine of chain saws

Hacking rain forests down

On and on--insanities

On and on--short sighted greed abounds

Ethiopia--ethiopia--ethiopia



Little garden planet-oasis in space

Some hearts hurt--they can hardly stand it

Famine phantoms at the garden gates

Ethiopia--ethiopia--ethiopia



Every sunday on t.v.--ethiopia

You suffer with such dignity--ethiopia

A t.v. star with a p.r. smile

Calls your baby "it" while strolling

Through your tragic trials

On and on--stupidity

On and on--the basic needs are defiled

Good air--good water--good earth

Ethiopia--ethiopia--ethiopia



Little garden planet--oasis in space

Some hearts hurt--they can hardly stand the waste

Ethiopia--ethiopia--ethiopia
