LETRA
What Is Truth
The old man turned off the radio
Said, \"Where did all of the old songs go
Kids sure play funny music these days
They play it in the strangest ways\"
Said, \"it looks to me like they've all gone wild
It was peaceful back when I was a child\"
Well, man, could it be that the girls and boys
Are trying to be heard above your noise?
And the lonely voice of youth cries \"What is truth?\"
A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
Looks up and says, \"Daddy, what is war?\"
\"son, that's when people fight and die\"
The little boy of three says \"Daddy, why?\"
A young man of seventeen in Sunday school
Being taught the golden rule
And by the time another year has gone around
It may be his turn to lay his life down
Can you blame the voice of youth for asking
\"What is truth?\"
A young man sittin' on the witness stand
The man with the book says \"Raise your hand\"
\"Repeat after me, I solemnly swear\"
The man looked down at his long hair
And although the young man solemnly swore
Nobody seems to hear anymore
And it didn't really matter if the truth was there
It was the cut of his clothes and the length of his hair
And the lonely voice of youth cries
\"What is truth?\"
The young girl dancing to the latest beat
Has found new ways to move her feet
The young man speaking in the city square
Is trying to tell somebody that he cares
Yeah, the ones that you're calling wild
Are going to be the leaders in a little while
This old world's wakin' to a new born day
And I solemnly swear that it'll be their way
You better help the voice of youth find
\"What is truth/\"
Significado de la letra
En la canción 'What Is Truth' de Johnny Cash, se narra la historia de cómo las generaciones más jóvenes cuestionan la realidad que les rodea. Un anciano reflexiona sobre cómo la música y la actitud de los jóvenes han cambiado, sintiendo nostalgia por tiempos más tranquilos. Sin embargo, la juventud busca ser escuchada y entender la verdad en medio del ruido.
Desde un niño pequeño preguntando qué es la guerra hasta un joven en el púlpito de la iglesia, la búsqueda de la verdad es constante. A medida que el tiempo avanza, se evidencia que la juventud anhela comprender y cuestionar lo establecido, aunque a menudo no sean escuchados.
La canción destaca cómo los jóvenes, a pesar de ser señalados como rebeldes, tienen el potencial de convertirse en líderes y cambiar el mundo. Se insinúa que la nueva generación traerá consigo un nuevo amanecer, donde la verdad será guiada por su voz inquisitiva y perspicaz. La búsqueda de '¿Qué es la verdad?' resuena en cada verso, recordándonos la importancia de escuchar y comprender a la juventud en su camino hacia la claridad y la autenticidad.
