Sinead O'Connor - If You Had A Vineyard Lyrics






If you had a vineyard
On a fruitful hill
And you fenced it and cleared it
Of all stones yountil
You planted it
With the choicest of vine
And you even built a tower
And a press to make wine
And you looked that it would bring forth sweet grapes
And it gave only wild grapes
What would you say
Jerusalem and judah
You be the judges I pray
Between me and my vineyard
This is what God says

What more could I have done in it
That I did not do in it
Why when I ask it for sweetness
It brings only bitterness

For the vineyard of the lord of hosts
Is the house of israel
And the men of judah
His pleasant plant

And he looks for justice but beholds oppression
And he hopes for equality but hears a cry
Jerusalem and Judah
This is god's reply

Sadness will come
To those who build house to house
And lay field to field 'til there's room
For none but you to dwell in the land
Oh in the land

And sadness will come
To those who call evil good
And good evil who present
Darkness as light
And light as darkness
Who present as sweetness
Only the things which are bitterness

For the vineyard of the lord of hosts
Is the house of israel
And the men of Judah his pleasant plant
Oh oh his pleasant plant

Oh that my eyes were a fountain of tears
That I might weep for my poor people

For every boot stamped with fierceness
For every cloak rolled in blood
Jerusalem and Judah
I'd cry if I could

    Sinead has made me weep -- and smile -- many times, and those are both good things. She has made life much more bearable for me as someone who lived in a very stressful home in my young years as she did to a greater degree than I.

    Sinead O Connor is an "old soul", as one can see from the very wise words of the lyrics of this song. The way she says thank you at the end is so cute.

  34. T.... ....

    somebody punch that whistling asshole in the mouth

  35. M.... S....

    Somptueuse ballade pour la paix entre Israël et Judée, juifs et palestiniens. Sinead à la guitare et au chant est habitée, ainsi que les musiciens Steve Cooney : guitare ; Odhrán O'Casaide : violon ; Vinnie Kilduff : mandoline, flute – low whistle – Laoise Kelly : harpe. La montée commune de la chanteuse et des musiciens à partir de 3'39" me semble bien refléter cette éternelle constance à vouloir remonter son rocher en sachant que ça ne s'arrêtera jamais.

  36. B.... D....

    Go to Hell Trump and the same for his friend Bibi...

    B.... D....

    Look deeper, "Bosco"...sorrow, not hatefulness, is the spirit of the song..."if our iniquities were marked who could stand...?"

  37. m.... g....

    BEAUTIFUL!!

  38. m.... g....

    So beautiful!!!

  39. I.... A....

  41. F.... M....

    Umas das vozes mais doce para meus ouvidos.

  42. W.... M....

    Maravillosa!

  43. E.... J....

    Joseph is the vine that climbs over every wall. the descendants of Joseph are in England. Jacob is the fire and Joseph is the flame, Esau will be stubble. Daughter Jerusalem hears you Sinead, may peace be with you, daughter Zion does exist. The LORD blessed Israel with the presence of his glory. Did you know that Arafat was Egyptian Sinead, many Egyptians went through those tunnels.

  44. w.... ....

    This is one of my favorite songs ever about Palestine. I love this song so much.

  45. M.... N....

    i love she!!!

    If you had a vineyard

    And you looked that it would bring forth sweet grapes
    And it gave only wild grapes

    Between me and my vineyard
    This is what God says

    What more could I have done in it

    Why when I ask it for sweetness
    It brings only bitterness

    For the vineyard of the lord of hosts
