Ah, yes! Retreating into books. A great way to recharge! (Perhaps on a daily basis? ;-)

Thank you, Collective. What a beautiful sentiment. It seems that Joan Baez has touched people all over the world. ❄️ May she continue to do so.

Never heard this one before. What a lovely sentiment. Reminds me of other 60s songs honoring the struggles of the common people, such as Bob Dylan's "The Chimes of Freedom," and the Rolling Stone's "Salt of the Earth," which Joan Baez also covered.

Thank you for the comment, Tom. You've given me two more songs to add to the ever-growing ToDo list!

A beautiful song! I plan to learn it in both languages!

Yes, do!

There are subtle differences, of course. I first learned it in Spanish, but explained it in English for students. I prefer the Spanish because it flows, unforced, with the melody. She released it first in English in 1972 and later in Spanish in 1974.

Thank you for your message!
