Translator’s note.In translating this song for English speakers, I warn the English reader that the original lyrics are literally full of quotations (and self-quotations), as well as references to historical events and Italian idiomatic expressions that are not always easy to be adequately translated into English. References to historical events are generally expressed through direct links pointing to site songs that talk about them (often provided with English translations); but there are also specific notes explaining idiomatic expressions and other points that could be difficult to understand for those who are not fully at home in the sad history of Italy in the post-war period up to nowadays.

Riposa Soldato
Das Lied entstand 2016 als Beitrag zum Singspiel "Don Camillo in St. Gallen" des Rorschachers Santa Cecilia Chores (Schweiz) unter der Leitung des Liedautors. Es begleitet die Beerdigungsszene von Peppones Neffen, der während einer Friedensmission im Irak-Krieg ums Leben kam. Dabei wird dem glücklosen jungen Soldaten die süße, wenngleich ewige Ruhe gewünscht. Der Text ist inspiriert von "Ellen's Song I" (The Lady of the Lake) von Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832).

Rich Men North of Richmond
La risposta di Billy Bragg
Since I saw that clip of Oliver Anthony singing his song 'Rich Men North of Richmond', the ghost of Woody Guthrie has been whispering in my ear. "Help that guy out" Woody keeps telling me "Let him know there's a way to deal with those problems he's singing about". So today I sat down and wrote this response to Mr Anthony's song, for people like him and people like you.

Riposa Soldato
The song was written in 2016 as a contribution to the musical recital "Don Camillo in San Gallo" by the Corale Santa Cecilia di Rorschach (Switzerland) directed by the author of the song. It accompanies the funeral scene of Peppone's nephew who fell during a peacekeeping mission in the Iraq war. In fact, the passage finally hopes for a sweet, albeit eternal, rest for the unfortunate young soldier. The text is inspired by "Ellen's Song I" (The Lady of the Lake) by Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832).

2e/sexies. English translation of the "Alba feminine version", by Riccardo Venturi 11.8.2023
I was evacuated to Alba together with my family. My father was a member of “Giustizia e Libertà” (“Justice and Freedom”, a clandestine partisan organization) and used to carry clandestine press from Turin to Alba. In October 1944 I was an eyewitness of the entrance of the partisans into Alba's Cathedral Square. I was an attentive and curious girl, and remember very well that they sang “Fischia il Vento” and also a “feminine version” of Bella Ciao:

Note. Though made in a (rather moderate) “old ballad style”, the language used is not specially old-fashioned, except a couple of typical ballad terms (an old ballad cannot go without a “fair maiden”). The song is accompanied with a beautiful, though rather curious video where a Russian sings superposing himself over Malicorne’s original version.

Io che non so l'inglese
Riccardo Venturi, 22-4-2023 08:46
E’ convinzione abbastanza radicata, presso un buon numero di persone, che “sapere l’inglese” sia un segno di banalità mentale, di disperante normalizzazione, di acquiescenza all’ovvio e all’ordinario, di obbedienza al potere e all’imperialismo globale. In realtà, in tutto questo sussiste -a mio parere- un equivoco di fondo: quello che l’idioma cui si riferiscono tutte queste cose sia effettivamente l’ “inglese”. L’inglese non esiste praticamente più, ed ha cessato di esistere da un bel pezzo anche nei paesi dove lo si dovrebbe parlare come lingua materna (figuriamoci quindi in Italia, paese dove “dovere” si dice sempre “must”). Al suo posto si parla e scrive una specie di idioma planetario che assomiglia oramai sempre di più alla “Neolingua” di Orwell, pur non essendo stato ancora codificato precisamente, e che peraltro continua arbitrariamente ad essere...

He had been invited to speak at the U.N. in New York about his battle to prerserve the Amazon rainforest and defend the indigenous peoples' human rights. For those motivated by greed abd hate it was too much.

The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger: Animals
(2014)
Album: Midnight Sun
Words and music: Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl.
The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (letteralmente Il Fantasma di una Tigre dai Denti a Sciabola) è un gruppo formato da Sean Lennon, il figlio di John e di Yoko Ono, con la sua compagna, la cantante e modella americana Charlotte Kemp Muhl. La canzone è psichedelica nella musica e nel testo, ed è accompagnata da un fantastico video che dipinge una sorta di comune hippie, probabilmente ispirata a The Source Family di Father Yod.

Per quanto riguarda la musica, ChatGPT risponde:
As an AI language model, I am not able to compose music, but "No More War" can be sung to various melodies and tempos. It would depend on the artist or musician's creative interpretation and style. The lyrics have a consistent rhyme scheme, and the chorus has a repetitive and catchy melody that can be easily sung and remembered. Musicians and composers could come up with their own arrangement and melody to fit the message of the song.
