¿de dónde salió la canción?

Para cerrar, esta canción que aunque vieja y conocida, me sigue pareciendo muy bonita. La estuve escuchando recientemente porque en un anuncio de TV venden uno de esos discos de música de los 60s de Time-Life y cierran con la pieza.

La canción tiene una letra muy bonita, y si se ponen a buscar, verán que se parece a uno de los poemas más bonitos que he leído: Eclesiastés capítulo III.

Foto acá. Definitivamente no son de mi época. Pero la canción me gusta bastante..

letra


To every thing, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
