Ho provato a fare una nuova versione inglese perché quella pubblicata finora mi sembrava un po' troppo letterale, ma si può ancora migliorare.

Leve Palestina: The Rhyme of the Undamned
The Palestine Chronicle, March 11, 2024
by Louis Brehony

Fighting the ban, Leve Palestina is simultaneously a rebellion against proscriptions, right-wing media campaigns, and the constant attack on our right to solidarity with resistance.

Cultural effects of the Zionist genocide and the Gaza Resistance have compounded this now global confrontation. The steadfastness of the displaced, besieged, bombarded and massacred has seen hospital workers and families huddle together in song and poetry, while invading soldiers dance and defile the scorched land of Palestine.

Like all other phases of the Palestinian struggle, the present is enlivened by musical anthems. The prominence of Leve Palestina (Long Live Palestine), first performed a half-century ago by Palestinian-Swedish band Kofia, made it 2023’s “song of the year,” according... (continuer)

Translator’s note. This is a strictly literal translation of the song. In the motion picture The Zone of Interest, only a part of the song is heard while being played on the piano by the Polish young girl. There’s a rather free and artistic version of the verses in the subtitles, given here in a footnote.


The song, and the Holocaust survivor, behind the year’s most stunning moment in film
How Joseph Wulf’s Yiddish song ‘Sunbeams,’ composed at Auschwitz, ended up in Jonathan Glazer’s ‘Zone of Interest’
Forward, Jewish Independent Nonprofit - PJ Grisar, December 19, 2023

The Zone of Interest, Jonathan Glazer’s drama about the humdrum home life of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, starts and ends with composer Mica Levi’s chorus of shrieking voices and synthesizers that lead the viewer in and out of the hell roiling just out of frame. The sound design as... (continuer)

Florence, Italy, 16 February 2024. A construction site for the building of yet another big, useless supermarket. A beam weighing twenty tons breaks, the construction site collapses and five workers remain under the rubble. Five more workers victims of capitalist profit: it happens every day, all over the world.

The lyrics of this song were written in 1968 by Pietro Bianconi, an Anarchist partisan who wrote a number of books about trade and workers’ struggles in the 1960/70s. The music was composed by Paolo Pietrangeli and Giovanna Marini. The song was also sung in a shorter version by Caterina Bueno for Dario Fo’s folksong show Ci ragiono e canto n° 2. Also sung by Gang in “Calibro 77” (2016).

Un discorso di David Harris (1946-2023) che compare nell'album di Joan Baez del 1971 Carry It On, che era la colonna sonora del documentario dallo stesso titolo. Il documentario è incentrato sulla protesta e l'incarcerazione dell'allora marito di Joan Baez.

Trattandosi di un discorso e non di una canzone, non lo inseriamo come canzone autonoma.

“SOME O' THESE DAYS” è il titolo di un testo alternativo a “The Welcome Table “.
Questa versione dà bene l’idea delle molteplici strofe che possono essere cantate con questo spiritual.

Today, a poet died. The first verse of this song was dedicated to Shane MacGowan long before his death, the second to Helno (Noel Rot), and the third to Brendan Behan.

While my translation may not be perfect, it stands as a small tribute to a great man.

Cecilia Torres-Cáceres had written the text in September 2017, after the feminicide of Mara Castilla, a 19-year-old student killed in Puebla, Mexico, by the driver of a chauffeur-driven hire service she had turned to on her way home after a night out with friends. Castilla’s name is one of those that appear in brackets: they are all names of women victims of feminicide. In the original version, the text has no title, but today it is known as ’If I don’t come back tomorrow’ and is spoken of as a poem.
