George Harrison - Bangladesh

Back


George Harrison performing "Bangladesh" during the concert for Bangladesh at 1971, Madison Square Garden.

MAGIC!

My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes
He told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies

Although I couldn't feel the pain, I knew I had to try
Now I'm asking all of you
To help us save some lives

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Where so many people are dying fast
And it sure looks like a mess
I've never seen such distress
Now won't you lend your hand and understand
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Such a great disaster - I don't understand
But it sure looks like a mess
I've never known such distress
Now please don't turn away, I want to hear you say
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
Relieve Bangla Desh

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Now it may seem so far from where we all are
It's something we can't neglect
It's something I can't neglect
Now won't you give some bread to get the starving fed
We've got to relieve Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
We've got to relieve Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

I find this song so very beautiful, because of the meaning of the words.
On the other hand George and Ringo were great.

37 years later. That's a lifetime for a poor citizen in our golden country. Still, to this day, til this sunrise, this song still echoes among us. Because people have turned away, our people are not relieved.

Let's see what the new election will bring to Bangladesh.
