Esta tierra es tu tierra

"Esta tierra es tu tierra" es una de las canciones populares más famosas de los Estados Unidos. Su letra fue escrita por Woody Guthrie en 1940 sobre la base de una melodía existente, en respuesta a la canción de Irving Berlin "Dios bendiga a América", que Guthrie consideraba poco realista y complaciente. Guthrie escribió la canción en 1940 y la grabó en 1944. La canción no fue publicada hasta 1951.

LETRA

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.
I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
While all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice was chanting, As the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.
