Bangladesh
Joan Baez| Original | Ulteriore versione italiana da: |
| BANGLADESH Bangladesh, Bangladesh Bangladesh, Bangladesh When the sun sinks in the west Die a million people of the Bangladesh The story of Bangladesh Is an ancient one again made fresh By blind men who carry out commmands Which flow out of the laws upon which nation stands Which is to sacrifice a people for a land Bangladesh, Bangladesh Bangladesh, Bangladesh When the sun sinks in the west Die a million people of the Bangladesh Once again we stand aside And watch the families crucified See a teenage mother's vacant eyes As she watches her feeble baby try To fight the monsoon rains and the cholera flies And the students at the university Asleep at night quite peacefully The soldiers came and shot them in their beds And terror took the dorm awakening shrieks of dread And silent frozen forms and pillows drenched in red Bangladesh, Bangladesh Bangladesh, Bangladesh When the sun sinks in the west Die a million people of the Bangladesh Did you read about the army officer's plea For donor's blood? It was given willingly By boys who took the needles in their veins And from their bodies every drop of blood was drained No time to comprehend and there was little pain And so the story of Bangladesh Is an ancient one again made fresh By all who carry out commands Which flow out of the laws upon which nations stand Which say to sacrifice a people for a land Bangladesh, Bangladesh Bangladesh, Bangladesh When the sun sinks in the west Die a million people of the Bangladesh | CANZONE SUL BANGLADESH La storia del Bangladesh E' una cosa antica resa fresca di nuovo di uomini ciechi che comandano che travalicano le leggi poste sopra le nazioni che dicono di sacrificare un popolo per una terra Bangladesh, Bangladesh, Quando il sole tramonta ad ovest muoiono milioni di persone del Bangladesh Ancora una volta ci teniamo in disparte e guardiamo le famiglie crocifisse vediamo una ragazza madre dagli occhi assenti mentre guarda il suo debole bambino che cerca di combattere le piogge monsoniche e le mosche del colera. E gli studenti all'università dormivano di notte pacificamente vennero i soldati e li colpirono nei loro letti e il terrore invase il dormitorio, destando urla di paura e le forme silenziose ed immobili e i cuscini intrisi di rosso. Hai letto della preghiera dell'ufficiale dell'armata per i donatori di sangue - e fu donato volontariamente da ragazzi che infilarono l'ago nelle loro vene e dai loro corpi ogni goccia di sangue fu estratta non c'è tempo per capire e c'era poco dolore. |
