Bono degli U2 canta classici di Natale in strada, a Dublino, per beneficenza (video)

Bono degli U2, anche quest’anno, ha deciso di scendere di persona in strada, a Dublino, per eseguire, insieme al collega Glen Hansard, alcune celebri canzoni di Natale. Un gesto che ha uno scopo umanitario e che intende raccogliere denaro per l’associazione “The Simon Community”, impegnata ad aiutare i senzatetto.

Nel video che vedete qui sotto, il leader della band è circondato dalla folla entusiasta a Grafton Street.

Tra i pezzi eseguiti “O Come, All Ye Faithful” e “Merry Xmas Everybody.”

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall
It’s the time that every santa has a ball
Does he ride a red-nose reindeer
Does a ton-up on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

[Chorus:]
So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arrive
Are you sure you’ve got the room to spare inside
Does your granny always tell you
That the old songs are the best
Then she’s up and rock ‘n’ rolling with the rest

[Chorus:]
So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun

What did your daddy do
When he saw your momma kissing Santa
Aaah ah aaah aahh

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall
Do you ride on down the hillside
On a buggy you have made
When you land upon your head
And you’ve been ‘Slade’

[Chorus:]
So here it is merry christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun
So here it is merry christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun

So here it is merry christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun
So here it is merry christmas
Everybody’s having fun
(It’s christmas!)
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun
