Harry Belafonte: Try to remember

Dieser wunderschöne Song gesungen von der samtweichen Stimme von Harry Belafonte fängt für mich wie kein anderer die Stimmung des September ein. Der Sommer geht vorbei und die Stimmung wird melancholischer, aber es ist immer noch schön. Und es geht auch um den Herbst des Lebens und die Erinnerung an den Frühling. Love it!

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and also mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow

Try to remember the kind of September
When you were young and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow

Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow

Deep in December, it’s nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December, it’s nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow

Deep in December, it’s nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
And follow, follow
