Bangla Desh (Soundtrack 1971) Songtext
von George Harrison

My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes
Told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies

Although I couldn′t feel the pain, I knew I had to try
Now I'm asking all of you
To help us save some lives

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Where so many people are dying fast
And it sure looks like a mess
I′ve never seen such distress
Now won't you lend your hand, try to understand
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh


Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Such a great disaster - I don't understand
But it sure looks like a mess
I′ve never known such distress
Now please don′t turn away, I want to hear you say
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Now it may seem so far from where we all are
It's something we can′t reject
It's something I can′t neglect
Now won't you give some bread, get the starving fed
We′ve got to relieve Bangla Desh

Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
We've got to relieve Bangla Desh

Now won't you lend your hand and understand
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
