From 21st Century Fox and Borderline Cinema comes this brand new adaptation of the music of Rogers and Hammerstein for the classic film and stage play, The Sound of Music.
Now updated to reflect on the disparity between the justifiable acceptance of the flight to safety then vs. now. We examine the flight from a repressive Nazi regime by the Von Trapp family. But we must also note the inexplicable failure to acknowledge the parallel of today's Central American emigres seeking refuge from their own countries repression and the peril of unmitigated drug cartel persecution and threat of death.
For this teaser, we feature only a brief sampling of the lyrics therein for each musical number.
El Sonido de la Musica (The Sound of Music)
The border’s alive with the sounds of children...
with Madre e Padre in a cell somewhere...
The crime they had done to get in-car-cer-a-ted?
To seek sanctuary with a hopeless prayer...
El Peligro (The Peril)
How do you solve a problem like a Cartel?
When you’re facin’ death most eve’ry day
Lookin’ to flee from execution
While El Policia looks the other way?
No Confianza (No Confidence)
All I trust I leave my heart to
All I trust becomes my own
I have confidence in confidence alone
(since)
I have FEAR in I.C.E,
Besides, which you see
I have confidence ONLY in me
Solo una Niña (Just a Girl)
I’m not fifteen and no I’m not fourteen
I’m just a nine year old kid
Stuck without fam’ly
No one to protect me
And for nothin’ I ever did…
Hasta Luego (So Long, Farewell)
‘Go away…away..’
That’s what those'patriots ' say…
I’m no threat…I’m just a kid
Still they curse me ev’ry day
Madre de Dios! (Mother of God!)
Out by the border stood a lonely ICE Man
Madre 'Dios, Madre' Dios, oh oh oh....
Making sure nobody gives us any food or water...
Madre' Dios...no no no
Por mi Mismo (By Myself)
I.C.E., I.C.E
You look upset to meet me.
I'm by myself at six years old...
with nobody to love or to greet me...
Escala Todas las Montañas (Climb Every Mountain)
Climb ev’ry mountain
Ford ev’ry stream
But if you find no sanctuary
Oh joder, there goes your dream
¿Podría ser transgénero la chica de la foto del título?
