ON THE STREET
Some people play soccer on the street
And some people walk, sing, and take pictures on the street
Some people abuse each other
Some people beat each other, kill each other on the street
Some people sleep on the street and others sell their bodies and honour on the street
But what a scandal it would be, if one day we forgot and kissed each other on the street
Some people play soccer on the street
And some people walk, sing, and take pictures on the street
Some people abuse each other
Some people beat each other, kill each other on the street
Some people sleep on the street and others sell their bodies and honour on the street
But what a scandal it would be, if one day we forgot and kissed each other on the street

Sta facendo sensazione il bacio egiziano tra due ragazzi anonimi immortalati nelle vie del Cairo, in un paese, l’Egitto, dove le effusioni in pubblico sono sanzionate. Come la bellezza del bacio di Robert Doisneau raccontava il risbocciare della vita nella Parigi post-bellica anche questo bacio sembra esprimere desideri analoghi. Se Doisneau scriveva la storia del fotogiornalismo sulle pagine di Life, oggi il bacio del Cairo circola su Facebook (accompagnato da questa canzone). Di più su Global Voices.
