Isn't it a pity
You don't know what i'm talking about yet
But i will tell you soon
It's a pity
Isn't it a pity
Isn't it a shame
Yes, how we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Forgetting to remember
Just forgetting and no thank you
Isn't it a pity
Some things take so long
But how do i explain
Why not too many people can see
That we are all just the same
We're all guilty
Because of all the tears
Our eyes just can't hope to see
But i don't think it's applicable to me
The beauty that surrounds them
Child, isn't it a pity
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
The most precious thing
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Forgetting to keep open our door
Isn't it a pity
Isn't it a pity
Some things take so long
But how do i explain
Isn't it a pity
Why not too many people
Can see we're all the same
Because we cry so much
Our eyes can't, can't hope to see
That's not quite true
The beauty that surrounds them
Maybe that's why we cry
God, isn't it a pity
Lord knows it's a pity
Mankind has been so programmed
That they don't care about nothin'
That has to do with care
C-a-r-e
How we take each other's love
The most precious thing
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Forgetting to keep open the door
But i understand some things take so long
But how do i explain
Why not too many people
Can see we're just the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
God, isn't it a pity
The beauty that surrounds them
It's a pity
We take each other's love
Just take it for granted
Without thinking anymore
We give each other pain
And we shut every door
We take each other's minds
And we're capable of take each other's souls
We do it every day
Just to reach some financial goal
Lord, isn't it a pity, my God
Isn't it a pity, my God
And so unnecessary
Just a little time, a little care
A little note written in the air
Just the little thank you
We just forget to give back
Cause we're moving too fast
Moving too fast
Forgetting to give back
But some things take so long
And i cannot explain
The beauty that surrounds us
And we don't see it
We think things are just the same
We've been programmed that way
Isn't it a pity
If you want to feel sorry
Isn't it a pity
Isn't it a pity
The beauty sets the beauty that surrounds us
Because of all our tears
Our eyes can't hope to see
Maybe one day at least i'll see me
And just concentrate on givin', givin', givin', givin'
And till that day
Mankind don't stand a chance
Don't know nothin' about romance
Everything is plastic
Isn't it a pity
My God.
Nina Simone, pseudonimo di Eunice Kathleen Waymon (1933-2003), è stata una leggendaria cantautrice, pianista e attivista americana. Nata in Carolina del Nord da una famiglia afroamericana profondamente religiosa, dimostrò precocemente un talento musicale straordinario. Dopo aver studiato musica classica al Conservatorio di Filadelfia, Simone si dedicò alla musica jazz e blues, diventando rapidamente una figura iconica della scena musicale degli anni '60. La sua voce potente e versatile, accompagnata da un'interpretazione appassionata del pianoforte, le permisero di affrontare temi sociali e politici con coraggio e sensibilità. Simone fu una fervente sostenitrice dei diritti civili, usando la sua musica come strumento di protesta contro il razzismo e l'ingiustizia sociale. Canzoni come «Mississippi Goddam» e «Four Women» divennero inni di lotta per la giustizia sociale. La sua influenza musicale è stata profonda e duratura, ispirando generazioni di artisti in diverse discipline. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo *I Put a Spell on You* (1965) e *Wild Is the Wind* (1966).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
