Song of Joy

About Song of Joy

"A Song of Joy" ("Himno de la alegría") is the title of a popular rock song by the Spanish singer and actor Miguel Ríos. It is set to the tune the Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, as arranged by Waldo de los Rios, who specialized in arranging classical music to contemporary rhythms. The same melody is used in the well-known Christian hymn, "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee." The single was enormously popular in many countries in 1970 (see 1970 in music), reaching number 1 on music charts in Australia, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and the Easy Listening chart in the United States. On the U. S. pop chart, the song peaked at number 14 and was the only Top 40 hit for Ríos. In the United Kingdom, it reached number 16 on the British pop chart. In Germany, the song is the most successful pop hymn ever. The single sold over four million copies worldwide. more »

Escucha hermano la cancion de la alegria 
El canto alegre del que espera un nuevo día 
Ven canta sueña cantado 
Vive soñando el nuevo sol 
En que los hombres 
Volverán a ser hermanos

Ven canta sueña cantado 
Vive soñando el nuevo sol 
En que los hombres 
Volverán a ser hermanos

Si en tu camino solo existe la tristeza 
Y el llanto amargo 
De la soledad completa
Ven canta sueña cantado 
Vive soñando el nuevo sol 
En que los hombres 
Volverán a ser hermanos

Si es que no encuentras la alegría 
En esta tierra 
Buscala hermano 
Mas haya de las estrellas
Ven canta sueña cantado 
Vive soñando el nuevo sol 
En que los hombres 
Volverán a ser hermanos
