Su nombre real es Steven Demetre Georgiou, pero su novia le llamaba "Cat Stevens" porque decía que tenía ojos de gato y este pasó a ser su nombre artístico... aunque en 1978 y después de una experiencia cercana a la muerte decidió convertirse al Islam y cambiarlo por Yusuf Islam.En los primeros años 70 fue un músico de gran éxito, con unas letras intimistas de cantautor y su respeto por su música le hizo negarse siempre a que esta fuese utilizada en anuncios comerciales.
Con su cambio a la religión del Islam cobró mayor importancia su labor como filántropo y creó varias escuelas para niños a la vez que gran parte de sus ganancias son dedicadas para ayudar a las víctimas de guerras como las de Bosnia o Irak. Recibió importantes galardones por su labor humanitaria aunque algunos han querido ensombrecer su trabajo al pasarse al "bando enemigo"...
En fin; que además compuso esta preciosidad de canción llamada "Wild World" y esta semana es el tema que quiero destacar.
Feliz escucha, feliz semana.
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
[Chorus:]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
[Chorus]
Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
[Chorus]
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
[Chorus:]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
[Chorus]
Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
[Chorus]
