Sbagliando s'impera

Caspita, mi ero dimenticato com’è bella, nella sua semplicità, questa canzone, scritta da Bob Dylan e inserita da George Harrison nel suo primo (triplo) album solista dopo la fine dei Beatles, All Things Must Pass.

Qui i due duettano dal vivo nel concerto per il Bangla Desh (1° agosto 1971 al Madison Square Garden di New York).

If not for you,
Babe, I couldn’t find the door,
Couldn’t even see the floor,
I’d be sad and blue,
If not for you.

If not for you,
Babe, I’d lay awake all night,
Wait for the mornin’ light
To shine in through,
But it would not be new,
If not for you.

If not for you
My sky would fall,
Rain would gather too.
Without your love I’d be nowhere at all,
I’d be lost if not for you,
And you know it’s true.

If not for you
My sky would fall,
Rain would gather too.
Without your love I’d be nowhere at all,
Oh! what would I do
If not for you.

If not for you,
Winter would have no spring,
Couldn’t hear the robin sing,
I just wouldn’t have a clue,
Anyway it wouldn’t ring true,
If not for you.
