Escrita
por Bob Russell e Bobby Scott, foi originalmente lançada em 1969 por
Kelly Gordon e pelos Hollies em 1970, mas a nossa versão é a de
Neil Diamond, lançada em 5 de novemro de 1970, que chegou ao número
68 nos charts pop americanos. Quando os compositores se conheceram,
Russell estava morrendo de Linfoma, mas deu tempo de completar a
canção.
Conta
a história que uma pequena garota carregava um bebê já grande, no
livro de 1884 chamado The Parables of Jesus, e alguém vendo que ela
estava com dificuldades em carregar o bebê, perguntou se ela não
estava cansada, se ele não era pesado. Ao que ela respondeu: “Ele
não é pesado, ele é meu irmão”.
Foi
também gravada por Bill Medley.
A
letra:
The
road is long with many awaiting turns
That lead us to who knows where,
Who knows where
But I'm strong,
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
That lead us to who knows where,
Who knows where
But I'm strong,
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So long we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If Im laden at all,
I I am laden with
sadness that
Everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness
I am alone for one and other
Everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness
I am alone for one and other
It's so long long
road
From whitch there is no return
While we're on the way to live why not share
From whitch there is no return
While we're on the way to live why not share
And the load doesn't
weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy
He's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy
He's my brother
He ain't heavy
He's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy
He's my brother
