Making blunders is often bound to occur; so, the old Romanized version of the Hebrew version of Le déserteur was completely wrong. A correct Romanized version has just been included!

An extraordinary and sad document in our AWS collection: the lyrics of שיר לשלום (Shir Lashalom, "A Song For Peace"), by Yankale Rotblit. This is the famous song, composed in 1969, that the Israeli premier Yitzhak Rabin had sung on the great peace demonstration of November 4, 1995, in Tel Aviv. A few minutes later he was shot dead by a fanatic right-wing extremist, Yigal Amir, who buried this way the peace process for at least a decade. The sheet of paper with the printed lyrics of the song was found in the in the inner pocket of Rabin's jacket, perforated by the deadly bullet and drenched in his blood.

«Canto simbolo delle barbarie della guerra. Di autore anonimo è nato nelle trincee italiane durante le interminabili offensive dell’esercito italiano per la presa di Gorizia.
È stata inserita una parte in tedesco a condanna di una guerra voluta da pochi e subita da tutti.»
Testo di autore anonimo (in tedesco 'Zuf de Žur)
Musica: R: Amodei, M.Punteri ('Zuf de Žur)
È con grande piacere che inseriamo questa versione bilingue di "Oh Gorizia" inviataci direttamente da Gabriella dei 'Zuf de Žur che ringraziamo di cuore.
La vogliamo accostare idealmente a Sidùn cantata in arabo ed ebraico.(Lorenzo Masetti, 11 settembre 2005)
Gorizia fu l’unica città conquistata con le armi dall’esercito italiano. La conquista della città costò la vita, in una settimana, a 30.000 soldati, tra italiani e austroungarici. L’ 8 agosto 1916 i fanti italiani entrarono in una città ridotta in macerie, abbandonata... (Continues)

Reunion Hill

Testo e musica di Richard Shindell
Album: "Reunion Hill"
Also performed by / Interpretata anche da Joan Baez
"[...]That economy reveals Shindell as an artist of uncommon intuitive gifts, whose verbal brush strokes strategically conjure up more with less. In Reunion Hill, his masterful lament for Joan Baez, Shindell recalls the pain of personal loss in war not by chewing the scenery or overpainting it, but by evoking associations with unremarkable objects and actions. His Civil War widow, ten years later, remembers that ragged army that limped across these fields of mine—not through a macabre body count, but through the everyday objects that the soldiers left behind:
Even now I find their things
Glasses, Coins, and Golden Rings
And she reflects on the loss of her husband not through the particulars of her suffering or the deprivations of... (Continues)

Eldorado dos Carajás
Da www.comitatomst.it/eldorado.htm
Eldorado Dos Carajás (BRASILE) - Il giorno 17 aprile 1996, intorno alle 4 del pomeriggio, 200 poliziotti militari, al comando del colonnello Mario Colares Pantoja, compiendo un ordine emanato dal governatore dello stato Almir Gabriel, hanno dato inizio alla più grave violazione dei diritti umani dell'America Latina negli ultimi anni. Con il pretesto di liberare la strada Rodovia PA-150 hanno ucciso a freddo 19 lavoratori rurali senza terra e ne hanno feriti altri 69.
I lavoratori rurali avevano bloccato la strada per spingere il governo dello stato a mantenere la promessa di dare loro mezzi di trasporto e alimenti per andare nella capitale dello stato a negoziare con l'INCRA la sistemazione di 2000 famiglie di senza terra nella fazenda Macaxeira.

Leyenda del águila
![Leyenda del águila](img/upl/silvio-rodriguez-01.jpg)
«Del año 64 o 65 que empiezo a componer ya rítmicamente, al año 67 que me desmovilizo, hice una buena cantidad de canciones. En los primeros años fui muy prolífico. Generalmente, estas eran canciones de amor, no crónicas sociales. Sin embargo, en esa época escribí mis primeras canciones de contenido social. La primera fue una canción contra la discriminación racial en Estados Unidos que se llama «¿Por qué?», y la segunda fue una canción contra la guerra de Vietnam, «La Leyenda del Águila». Después escribí otras contra la guerra de Vietnam.»
