Corporation Offenders
[2005]
Songwriters: Hyde & Ali Baba
Album: Status Quo
"Corporations attempt to unify what we wear, eat and even think. Corporations are given human rights, yet they don’t feel sympathy, compassion or concern, they don’t show you or the environment any love. There is only one thing they care about and that is to make money. They do this by any means necessary, for example Coka Cola has built its factories near Indian villages and privatized their freshwater. Nike, a brand most hip hop tick heads like to wear can only meet its demands by slave labor. The same with Starbucks and their supply of coffee beans through unfair trade, Halliburton, a major war mongering corporation that serves military needs. I could go on and on…."

Haven't We Learned
[2006]
Album: Hold On To Your Dreams
"Haven't We Learned' is essentially a song about American politics and the general condition of the USA . I have long considered the parallels between the United State and its excesses and the great Roman Empire. It is Rome's crumbling from within that I refer to in "Haven't we learned from those who've come before us".

[2006]
In early 2006, after the U.S. government threatened to pass harsher immigration laws, hundreds of thousands of workers, mostly immigrants, demonstrated for legalization across the country. Many of those who rallied were workers who are fighting to build a union. One sign at the march in Los Angeles said, "If you think I'm 'illegal' because I'm a Mexican, learn the true history, because I'm in my homeland." [please italicize "I’m"]

Dangerous Dreams
[2002]
Album: Take Out
New York Times magazine couldn't understand why Palestinian children do what they do...
Well, that is not so difficult: they were being ethnically cleansed by the Zionist movement. People were force from their home, people were killed and homes were burned down, so the people fled in hope for a new and better live somewhere else (which most of them didn’t). Because of they would make it bigger it would lose it’s status as a refugee camp and would lose most of the support their getting from the UN and other organizations. If aid to the people would be stopped there would not be much hope for these people since they’re not educated, they don’t have money and don’t have any means to make a life for them selves. So the problem would only grow for these people.

La poesia di Ivano Fossati : Pane e Coraggio ci fa riflettere sulla condizione degli immigrati che , spesso clandestinamente giungono in Italia incoraggiati dalla bellezza vista per televisione ma quando i commissari li fermano alle frontiera , capiscono di dover affrontare una dura realtà che li porta da una terra che li odia a un'altra che invece , non li vuole .

Album: "Wars Will Cease...When We Refuse To Fight Them"
Lyrics by Dave Gwyther.
Music by Dave Gwyther & Sturt Wills.
Terrorist is such an ugly word… and such a false one. Terrorist simply means those who cause acts of terror WHO ARE NOT the governing body. Governments cause acts of terror all the time but these are not seen as being as morally wrong as those caused by terrorists. The spin on terrorism is that its this brand new thing that has only sprung up in a post 9/11 world but that couldn't be further from the truth. Terrorism has existed as long as civilisation has existed, because terrorism is conflict with the state. And terrorism will always exist. What we must fight is the causes of terrorism: poverty, oppression. religious extremists (but no where near as much as we're led to believe), to name but a few. Dropping a bombs on peoples houses, who may very well be against the so called terrorists that the bomb is aimed for, will only fuel terrorism, not vanquish it.

Lyrics by Dave Gwyther.
Music by Dave Gwyther & Sturt Wills.
We didn't go to Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction, that was always obvious. But the excuse convinced the masses for a time. And then when that was failing, we were told we went to war with Iraq to free their people from a brutal dictatorship (forgetting the brutality that exists in Sudan, Zimbabwe, Israel and many other countries in the world). But the cost of 'freeing' the Iraqi people was death and destruction: 'We killed the children of those who weren't free, because we believe in democracy'.

MANIFESTAZIONE ANTI-WTO A GINEVRA - SABATO 28 NOVEMBRE 2009

Cette conférence a pour but de poursuivre le cycle de Doha* qui devrait être conclu fin 2010. 80% des accords concernent l'agriculture, y compris le commerce des denrées. Ils visent à réduire « les obstacles » au libre-échange, à « aider » les producteurs de marchandises, les exportateurs et les importateurs à leurs activités.
En fait, le projet de l'OMC est un projet de marché mondial total, couvrant tous les aspects de la vie, pour une reproduction sans limites du capital. C'est un projet productiviste qui accélère l'industrialisation du monde, qui gaspille les ressources, et un outil de domination au service des plus puissant-e-s. Nous vivons sur une planète...

The story of the Cotton Mill Women of Pittsburgh who fought to end child labor and the 10 hour work day.
In the 1840’s cotton mills were the primary employers of Pittsburgh’s young women and children. Allegheny City, now the North side, was the location of seven cotton mills employing thousands of women and children. They toiled 12 hours a day 6 days a week repetitiously feeding the relentless and unforgiving spinning and weaving machines. Getting home from work at 10 at night their long days were endless toil for little pay. Women cotton mill workers were paid a mere $2.50 per week for 72 hours of work, while male laborers in other trades earned $1.00 per day. In response to pay cuts in 1843 the female cotton workers marched through the streets of Pittsburgh parading with a banner proclaiming “Two dollars a day and a plate of roast beef”.

ciao, la canzone il testamento di Tito, l'avevo inserita il qualche anno fa, e lavevo fatto perchè se la guerra è la fine della speranza, mentre Tito riesce, vedendo Cristo che muore senza aver fatto niente per meritarlo (come se ci fosse un motivo solo al mondo per uccidere) se non invocare l'amore tra gli uomini, a non perdere la speranza nella Vita, sta per morire e vedendo "quest'uomo che muore, Madre (la Vita) ho imparato l'Amore'. Pur nella sconfitta di una vita sbagliata la Speranza non lo lascia, la Speranza non di un paradiso effimero ma di un 'sentire' di pace che lo riconcilia (lui in punto di morte, giustiziato) con il mondo e con sè stesso.
Ho voluto dire la mia, forse buona, forse no, ma in una raccolta di canzoni contro la guerra la inserii per ricordarMi che la vera morte è la morte della Fede nella Vita, della Speranza.

On one Christmas day during World War 1 both sides put down their guns and met in No-Mans land. They shook hands and shared cigarettes and stories and played a game of football… The WW1 was a brutal bloody battle of dying empires that saw millions perish. And yet on one historic day two sides who had been locked in desperate fighting ceased their guns and met in no-mans land where they realised that they weren't German, or English, or anything like that. They realised that they were just men. All the same. And the war, and perhaps all wars could have ceased on that day with this monumental realisation, if the commanders had not ordered the men back into the trenches, threatening that if they did not go back to shooting each other, they would be shot themselves....

Album: Wars Will Cease...When We Refuse To Fight Them
Lyrics by Dave Gwyther
Music by Dave Gwyther & Sturt Wills
The land of Israel, being the ancient land of Canaan before being conquered by Moses, and arguably being a Jewish territory before that, was promised by a withdrawing British Empire to be given to the native Arabs for their assistance in World War 2. However, the devastating holocaust lingering anti-Jewish resentment in Europe resulted in millions of displace Jews. The Allies needed to resettle them. Several places were suggested, including Africa, but the Jewish people were adamant that only the land of Israel would do. And thus in 1948, to the dismay of the local Arabs, the state of Israel was born. Today it remains a state of turmoil, where the Arab population is arguably treated as second class citizens. Their freedom of movement is restricted and what little land they have is taken away. This song is about the Apartheid here.

Salve,
complimenti per il sito, davvero straordinario!
Volevo segnalare, nella traduzione in italiano, che "peoci" non va tradotto con "pidocchi" ma con "cozze", un "piatto tipico" della laguna veneziana. Inoltre, visto che il video della canzone è stato rimosso dall'utente, mi permetto di segnalarvi una mia personale versione a questo indirizzo:

Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye

![Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye](img/thumb/c1429_130x140.jpeg?1329494804)
Come detto nell'introduzione, la melodia di "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" è stata poi utilizzata durante la guerra civile americana per la canzone patriottica "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"...
Molto meno patriottica la versione "natalizia" che circolava tra le truppe in Vietnam, della quale però ho trovato solo un frammento su Mudcat:
"When Johnny comes home in a plastic bag, Hurrah, Hurrah.
When Johnny comes home in a plastic bag, Hurrah, Hurrah.
When Johnny comes home in a plastic bag, We'll all turn out in the streets and gag
And we'll all be dead by Christmas time next year."

Chanson italienne – 7 – Casa del Vento - 2009
« L'Italie est une République démocratique fondée sur le travail »
Ainsi commence notre Constitution. Si on pense à ce qui se passe dans nos vies et dans la société, nous voyons tant de contradictions.
Cet album parle du travail, des conquêtes et des défaites du passé, des droits obtenus, mais aussi d'une régression de ces derniers dans l'actualité que nous vivons. On parle de sueur et d'exploitation des ouvrières, des ouvriers, des mineurs et des paysans, on y parle des migrants d'hier (les Italiens) et des migrants d'aujourd'hui, on y parle du manque de mémoire et de conscience endormie.
On y parle de jeunes chômeurs sans certitudes et sans espérances. De la honte des morts au travail, par milliers dans ce pays.
Avec force et tendresse, des histoires de notre terre, de celles d'Italie et du monde.
Car le monde entier est notre maison.

Dal bel blog Any Major Dude, alcune versioni della canzone, compresa la Gerde’s version e quella che Dylan eseguiva al Greenwich con il gruppo dei New World Singers, e pure "No More Auction Block", la slave-song da cui Dylan trasse ispirazione...
C'è pure la versione in tedesco della Dietrich...

"Notare le molte affinità col dialetto di Milano, città "dalà dal Lavagiu", ossia aldilà del fiume, da sempre un po' rivale di Galliate. Non è una traduzione letterale poichè ho tentato di mantenere la metrica originale." - Così l'autore della versione, che non si è indicato ed è rimasto anonimo. Il galliatese, come si può vedere, è un dialetto lombardo affine al milanese, nonostante Galliate sia in provincia di Novara (e quindi in Piemonte). Tanto per sottolineare le affinità con Milano, a Galliate c'è persino un Castello Sforzesco.

Errata:
a)"meses" (no "peces"... ¡los del servicio militar obligatorio!)
b) Concordar el verbo llamar a la tercera persona del plural: Ellos (te*) "llamen", y no "llame": Pues ellos son "los que siempre hacen las cosas por pelotas"
c) En varias versiones se encuentra "caldo" y no "jarro" espeso.
*O "me" pues después dice: Aquí estoy cautivo solo y desarmado (yo), pero VM lo canta también en "te" dirigiéndose a los jóvenes que tienen que hacer el servicio militar obligatorio.

Cette chanson de Rodolfo Assuntino est une chanson italienne qui a de fortes accointances avec les Masters of War de Bob Dylan...; toutefois, si elle en reprend (en partie) la trame, elle en est cependant assez lointaine et différente.
