La versione cantata nel film “12 Years a Slave”, diretto nel 2013 dal regista londinese Steve MacQueen, dove si racconta la storia di Solomon Northup, talentuoso violinista di colore, che nel 1841, da uomo libero che era, venne sequestrato e ridotto in schiavitù per 12 anni prima di riguadagnare la libertà.

Carl Sagan's Cosmic Calendar and this Compact history of life by Deproducers certainly have very illustrious literary ancestors, from Lucretius' De rerum natura to the amazing Petite cosmogonie portative by Raymond Queneau (“A Pocket Cosmogony”, 1950). To the latter goes my special reference, a true universal cosmic calendar in verse, in which, on an admirable scale, the entire human history is compared to that of the Universe and is described with only two verses at the beginning of the sixth and last canto :
Le singe sans effort le singe devint homme
lequel un peu plus tard désagrégea the atom.
"The monkey, effortlessly, became the man,
who a little later disintegrated the atom."
Less than two seconds before the midnight of 31 December, in the calendar of Life: there we are all of us, in those two seconds. Two seconds of history in a whole year. [RV]

Note. The following translation by the Στίχοι user Andreas Cretensis is included in a note to another English translation by the user Μιλτος Μπ (26-11-2005), who totally misunderstood the meaning of the Greek verses. "Συγγνώμη η αγγλική μετάφραση δεν αποδίδει το νόημα. Η συντακτική της αγγλικής δεν τόσο ευλύγιστη όπως στα ελληνικά. Ιδιαίτερα στο πρώτο στίχο έχετε κάνει τα ονομαστικά αιτιατικά και αντίθετα."

"A true story that tells what happened on the war front on Christmas eve of 1914/1915 between Italians and Austrians. The scene takes place on Mount Col del Rosso, near Mount Grappa: the Italians went out on patrol and, when they found the enemy behind them, they resigned themselves to the tragedy. By a miracle, the Austrians decided to leave their weapons and exchange with the Italians the sign of PEACE."

The “Global Resistance Network” published a short singing tape of the Sahrawi artist Mariam Al-Hassan, recorded on August 06, 2015 in the Sahrawi refugee camps and titled Alwadae (“Farewell”)
The tape included touching words the skilled artist, who is in a difficult health situation, addresses to the Sahrawi people.
In this video, the Sahrawi artist recommends the Sahrawi people to withstand and preserve all its heritage, and expresses her great confidence that the rising generations keep on struggling and bringing the voice of the Sahrawi people beyond the borders.
For reference, the tape, which was recorded from inside her tent in the state of Smara, impressed many of the pioneers of social networks, who expressed a great emotion, wishing a speedy recovery to the Sahrawi artist.
The resistance network, which includes hundreds of people around the world who are defending peace and freedom, highlighted that Maryam El Hassan devoted her life to the struggle of the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination.

The album that this song comes from is called "Mazel Tov" and is filled with references to Yiddish imaginary and klezmer music.
St. Pauli is a football team from the German town of Hamburg, known for the unmistakable political orientation of its fan club.
It seems that among the "certified" fans of St. Pauli there is also an administrator of this site... [INSCO]
As a "certified fan" of St. Pauli I must say that this song, in the German version, has essentially become the official anthem of the team; or it is perceived as such. [RV]

La seguente traduzione d'arte in inglese è stata eseguita da Daniel Kahn, e riproduce in pieno lo stile aulico e roboante del canto sociale dell'epoca; si tratta però di una versione assolutamente libera (si veda la traduzione letterale italiana).

The city of Venice had to endure 42 air raids during WW1; the very first one occurred on 24 May 1915, the same day Italy declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The air bombing of 18 November 1917 occurred shortly after Caporetto rout and was among the hardest ones the city had to suffer. Venice had about 114,000 inhabitants before the war; in April 1918, only 40,000 were left. Most Venice refugees were moved to other Adriatic coast towns not affected by war, like Ancona or Pesaro in the Marche region. This song in the Venetian dialect is focused on this event.
