Lyrics & Music by Pól Mac Adaim
Album: If We Don't Help Them Now
"This song touches on the Holy Cross situation and the fact that the children are the ones who pay the cost of war.
After witnessing the appalling pictures shown on television of little girls screaming and grasping to their parents while pipes bombs exploded alongside bottles and balloons filled with urine landing around them. I thought making a record of this in song would accompany the suffering those children will endure on a daily basis for a long time to come…"

Io te cerco scusa
![Io te cerco scusa](img/thumb/c66_130x140.jpeg?1328383606)
Chanson italienne (en napolitain) – Io te cerco scusa – Eugenio Bennato – 2002
Depuis que j'ai entendu pour la première fois cette chanson, j'ai toujours été fasciné par cette demande de pardon pour quelque chose qui s'était produit avant notre naissance. C'est très différent de la manière dont l'Église demanda pardon pour la persécution de Galilée, pour donner un exemple...
Ainsi Parlait Lorenzo Masetti
Ah, Lucien l'âne mon ami, voici une superbe chanson en napolitain, que j'ai eu un peu de mal à traduire... Je te le concède. Elle le mérite, je veux dire d'être traduite. Peut-être l'a-t-elle été déjà et beaucoup mieux que par moi. Alors, qu'on veuille bien excuser cette humble version. Notre ami Lorenzo lui-même s'y est essayé excellemment en anglais et lui aussi, a pris la peine de, comme dit la chanson elle-même : « cercare scusa », « faire excuses ».

Patriot Game

[1957]
Lyrics by Dominic Behan
Music: sung to the tune of "The Merry Month of May"
Album: Posterity Be Damned [1959]
"The Patriot Game" is an Irish ballad about an incident during the Border Campaign launched by the Irish Republican Army during the 1950s to bring about the reunification of Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland. It was written by Dominic Behan, younger brother of playwright Brendan Behan, to the tune of an earlier folksong, "The Merry Month of May". It tells the story of Fergal O'Hanlon, an IRA Volunteer from Ballybay, County Monaghan who tried to abolish the border between the Six Counties and the Republic, killed at the age of 17 in an attack on Brookeborough Royal Ulster Constabulary barracks in County Fermanagh on 1 January 1957.

Secondo me è comunque contro la guerra visto che si scaglia contro il problema del narcotraffico, che sta sempre più assumendo i caratteri di un conflitto vero e proprio. I paesi industrializzati producono armi e le vendono poi ai narcotrafficanti che così possono mantenere il loro 'impero'.

Anthem for Doomed Youth
![Anthem for Doomed Youth](img/upl/-Human-Conflict-Nu-6527.jpg)
[1917]
Da “Human Conflict Number Five” (1981), EP di debutto della band all’epoca capitanata da Natalie Merchant.
Testo di Wilfred Owen
Musica di John Lombardo.
Il testo è quello di una celebre poesia di Wilfred Owen, soldato e poeta britannico morto di "fuoco amico" nel 1918, alla fine della prima guerra mondiale.
Owen scrisse "Anthem for Doomed Youth" nel 1917 mentre si trovava presso il Craiglockhart War Hospital di Edimburgo, ricoverato per le conseguenze di un'esplosione da cui era stato investito in battaglia.

Infatti, finita nel 1975 la guerra nel sud est asiatico, per un reduce si aprivano straordinarie possibilità di impiego ben retribuito, sia nei quadri dell’esercito sia al di fuori di esso, come mercenario: Cile, Argentina,...

Lyrics & Music by Pól Mac Adaim
Album: If We Don't Help Them Now
A contemporary Celtic arrangement..
This is not just an album with words and music, it is an archive from which I hope many will find answers to the many questions within it and our past. I’ve always believed that we must learn from our past, if we choose not to we will continue only to suffer the consequences of the past. We only need to look at places like Nanking, Terezin, and Vietnam, to see history repeat itself in Cambodia, Palestine and Iraq.
Just like the hunger strikes of 1981 Belfast was only 90 miles from Dublin, with the world rapidly developing each day it becomes smaller, Turkey really isn’t far when you consider the fact that they could gain entry to the European union, and like the song says "For as long as the fascists are in control there, they’ll come closer to you and to me".

Watch Out for the Traffic
[1986]
Lyrics & Music by Adrian J. Pratt
Album: Passions, Pains and Protestations
Nuclear arms, radioactive waste and the disposal of other toxic substances.... all the usual subject matter of a poppy ditty..
To elaborate....
From a high of 65,000 active weapons in 1985, there are now nearly 8,000 active nuclear warheads and more than 22,000 total nuclear warheads in the world of 2010. Many of the decommissioned weapons have simply been stored or partially dismantled, not destroyed. It scares me in an age where some influential people really believe Armageddon is the only final solution that they may consider hastening the day! I just don't swallow the theory that no lunatic would actually press the button. (Ever seen Dr. Strangelove?)
The disposal of nuclear waste is another scary consideration. In 1946 the United States sank containers of radioactive waste in the Pacific Ocean... (Continues)

Jingoism = "patriottismo estremista sotto forma di violenta politica estera" (Oxford English Dictionary).
Il termina deriva dal verso di una canzone inglese, “Macdermott's War Song”, risalente all’epoca della guerra russo-turca (1877-1878), uno dei tanti conflitti che nel corso della storia hanno insaguinato i Balcani e il Caucaso. Una parte dell’opinione pubblica inglese parteggiava per l’Impero Ottomano e auspicava un intervento diretto dell’Inghilterra nella guerra, perché “Costantinopoli non doveva cadere tra le grinfie dell’Orso Russo”. Il ritornello della canzone recitava infatti:
“We don't want to fight but, by jingo, if we do...
We've got the ships, we've got the men, and got the money too!

I luf cantano Guccini (2012)
Risaliamo indietro nel tempo e arriviamo al 1966, Guccini scrive "La canzone del bambino nel vento", che per semplificare viene chiamata "Auschwitz" (ammettiamolo, questo titolo è molto più efficace anche se non è quello scelto da Guccini) e firmata da Lunero e Vandelli perché Guccini all'epoca non era iscritto alla Siae e non gliene importava poi molto. Successivamente ci vorranno molti anni perché Guccini possa tornare in possesso dei diritti della sua canzone. "Auschwitz" viene proposta dall'Equipe 84 come retro di "Bang Bang" (al cui testo, sempre peraltro senza figurare, ha sempre collaborato Guccini, ma la prima canzone firmata da Guccini sarà solo, nel 1967, "Dio è morto").

Guitarist Zoltan Bathory told "Metal Hammer" about this song's evolution: “We'd been kicking this song around for over a year, and we did record an early version of it, but somehow we couldn’t quite get it to gel. That can happen with songs – you're not sure about them to start them, and then they grow into something special, which is really what happened with 'The Bleeding'… I mean, that only just scraped onto the first album!
"Then Kevin (Churko, producer) heard 'Far From Home', which is kind of a ballad I guess, and he encouraged us to work on it some more, and today of course I'm really glad we did. We changed the structure, added some strings, and generally moved the track up to a whole new level. “Now I would say it's a potential single, but quite a way down the line…"

Credo che il titolo originale fosse più buffo: "Canzone del dàlli, dàlli, dàlli, dàlli, dàlli"...

D'autant que le « Saint Sépulchre » et autres couillonnades du genre , comme toutes les plus tragiques conneries, alors comme aujourd'hui, sont à la base de toutes les diverses croisades qui n'ont certes pas cessé d'exister. Maintenant, cela s'appelle « Choc des civilisations » ou « Guerre au terrorisme ». [R.V.]
Certes, certes, il n'a pas tort ce Venturi, dit Lucien l'âne en rigolant. D'ailleurs si je me souviens bien , tu as dit des choses similaires à propos d'autres chansons... (Continues)
