Happy Xmas (War is Over) - John Lennon, Yoko Ono (Cover) by @yisusth
A warm greeting to the entire #Music community. I wish you a Merry Christmas, a time of reflection, of enjoying family unity and of personal improvement. I am pleased to share my interpretation on the trumpet of “Happy Xmas (War is Over)”, a rock song composed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. It is interesting how a protest song has become a Christmas anthem. This piece of music was written in the context of the Vietnam War. We all know that Christmas is a time of joy and peace, and that we all aspire to a world without conflict. Currently there are about 56 wars spanning about 92 countries. Probably, many people do not know this, and this contrasts with many places where prosperity, peace and joy abound. The lyrics are a call for peace, unity and hope. Although total peace may be utopian, I hope that we evolve and understand that the world needs more love and reconciliation.

Un cordial saludo a toda la comunidad de #Music. Les deseo una Feliz Navidad, que sea un momento de reflexión, de disfrutar de la unidad familiar y de superación personal. Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «Happy Xmas (War is Over)», una canción de género rock compuesta por John Lennon y Yoko Ono. Es interesante como una canción de protesta se ha convertido en un himno navideño. Esta pieza musical fue escrita enmarcada en la guerra de Vietnam. Todos sabemos que la Navidad es un tiempo de alegría y de paz, y que todos aspiramos a un mundo sin conflictos. Actualmente existen unas 56 guerras que abarcan unos 92 países. Probablemente, muchas personas no lo sepan, y esto contrasta con muchos lugares donde abunda la prosperidad, la paz y la alegría. La letra es un llamado a la paz, la unidad y la esperanza. Aunque la paz total puede ser utópica, espero que evolucionemos y entendamos que el mundo necesita más amor, y reconciliación.
Both abundance and scarcity can divert our attention from what is truly important. On the one hand, excess resources can distract us, making us value essential things less and focus on superficial aspects. In some cases, it can even generate fears of losing everything, making it difficult to face situations of loss or scarcity. On the other hand, scarcity can lead us to obsessively focus on what we lack, generating stress, depression and a short-term vision that prevents us from identifying opportunities. I believe that an attitude of gratitude is essential to maintain focus on what really matters, regardless of our situation. In addition, it is essential to seek balance and develop resilience to face the challenges that life presents us. I wish you a Merry Christmas full of joy, unity and love with your loved ones.

Tanto la abundancia como la escasez pueden desviar nuestra atención de lo verdaderamente importante. Por un lado, el exceso de recursos puede distraernos, hacer que valoremos menos las cosas esenciales y nos enfoquemos en aspectos superficiales. En algunos casos, incluso puede generar temores a perderlo todo, haciendo difícil enfrentar situaciones de pérdida o escasez. Por otro lado, la escasez puede llevarnos a centrarnos obsesivamente en lo que nos falta, generando estrés, depresión y una visión a corto plazo que impide identificar oportunidades. Creo que una actitud de gratitud es fundamental para mantener el enfoque en lo que realmente importa, independientemente de nuestra situación. Además, es esencial buscar un equilibrio y desarrollar resiliencia para enfrentar los desafíos que la vida nos presenta. Les deseo una Feliz Navidad llena de gozo, unidad y amor junto a sus seres queridos.

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you had fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
The rich and the poor ones (War is over)
The road is so long (Now)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let's stop all the fight (Now)
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
And what have we done? (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
And a new one just begun (Now)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
We hope you have fun (If you want it)
The near and the dear ones (War is over)
The old and the young (Now)
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over
If you want it
War is over
Now
Happy Christmas
