Federico Garcia Lorca

Federico Garcia Lorca
La pagina sulla poesia di Vrettakos musicata e interpretata dai greci della diaspora Arthur Rorris e Anthea Sidiropoulos, Επιμνημόσυνη γονυκλυσία ha riportato a questa pagina dove la strage nazista di Distomo (e quella di Kessarianì) è nominata. Anche questa, in origine, una poesia: una costante nella canzone greca contemporanea. Quindi, un'occasione sia per rinfrescare la poesia di Kavvadias tradotta magistralmente da Gian Piero Testa, sia per rifare questa pagina lasciata, sinceramente, un po' abbandonata con dati su un'altra canzone infilati in mezzo al testo ed altre mancanze. Prima o poi ci si arriva, comunque.

A Better World For You

A Better World For You
(2003)



Many thanks to Anthea Sidiropoulos for permission to add this song to the "Antiwar Songs" collection.

Anthea writes:
"My Dad was 'Theo Sidiropoulos' first Greek migrant (or any migrant of non-anglo-saxon origin I think) to become, firstly a Mayor (of Collingwood) and a year later Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Victorian Parliament. He was a left-ist labour, trade unionist and a greenie..

The song literally is a chronology of his achievements. However behind all his actions was a statement he always said to me and that was 'I'm doing it for you my girl.. for children just like you..' in creating a 'better' world ie: peace, love and understanding to all living beings regardless of race, colour, sex, class, social or financial status etc etc etc...

The song came about when I, like many other songwriters earlier this year were busy writing what we feeling in our hearts... (Continues)
I was only three years old when my Daddy put me on his shoulder -
