Check out this 1970 version of Beethovan’s Ode to Joy, with new English lyrics written by Ross Parker. This 1970 hit was sung by Miguel Rios and became a top hit that year.
Here are the lyrics by Ross Parker:
Come, sing a song of joy,
For peace shall come, my brother.
Sing, sing a song of joy,
For men shall love each other.
That day will dawn just as sure
As hearts that are pure
Are hearts set free.
No man must stand alone
With hands stretched out before him.
Reach out and take them in yours
With love that endures
Forevermore.
Then sing a song of joy
For love and understanding.
Come, sing a song of joy
For freedom tells a story.
Sing, sing a song of joy
For mankind in his glory.
One mighty voice that will bring
A sound that will ring
Forevermore.
Then sing a song of joy
For love and understanding.
Come, sing a song of joy,
For freedom tells a story.
Sing, sing a song of joy
For mankind in his glory.
One mighty voice that will bring
A sound that will ring
Forevermore.
Then sing a song of joy
For love and understanding.
Sing, sing a song of joy
For mankind in his glory.
Julio Iglesias also had a hit with this song.
