Íslensk þýðing eftir Atla Harðarson
"Þetta ljóð frá árinu 1928 er um margt dæmigert fyrir seinni ljóð Kavafis, nánast eins óljóðrænt og verið getur
Annað grískt skáld, Giorgos Seferis (Γιώργος Σεφέρης) sagði í frægri ritgerð að Konstantinos P. Kavafis (Κωνσταντίνος Π. Καβάφης) hafi farið með ljóðlistina að ystu mörkum þess óljóðræna og í þessu hafi enginn annar komist lengra.
Í ritgerð þessari ber Seferis saman tvo frumkvöðla módernisma í ljóðagerð, Bandaríkjamanninn Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888 – 1965) og einfarann frá Alexandríu, Kavafis (1863 –1933), og segir að Kavafis hafi öðrum skáldum fremur farið eftir því sem Eliot boðaði að tilfinningar yrðu aðeins tjáðar á listrænan hátt með því að lýsa hlutlægri samsvörun þeirra („objective correlative“).
Þetta ljóð virðist aðeins segja brot úr gamalli sögu. Ef til vill var þessi saga hlutlæg samsvörun þess hvernig framsýnir menn upplifðu samtíð sína rétt fyrir kreppuna miklu."

Íslensk þýðing eftir Atla Harðarson
"Giorgos Seferis (Γιώργος Σεφέρης) fæddist árið 1900 skammt frá Smyrnu í Anatólíu. Hann nam lögfræði við Sorbonne háskóla í Frakklandi og starfaði síðan lengst af í grísku utanríkisþjónustunni m.a. sem sendiherra í Tyrklandi, Englandi og Albaníu. Seferis hætti að þjóna gríska ríkinu eftir að herforingjar tóku völd árið 1967. Þegar hann lést árið 1971 voru herforingjar enn við völd. Við jarðarförina safnaðist mikill fjöldi manna saman í Aþenu og söng ljóð hans Afneitun (Άρνηση) við lag Mikis Þeodorakis og varð þessi söngur, sem hafði þá um nær tíu ára skeið verið vinsæll og vel þekktur, að sameiningartákni þeirra sem börðust gegn herforingjastjórninni. (Þessi illa þokkaða stjórn sem hrökklaðist frá völdum 1974 stjórnaði Grikklandi að hætti fasista.) Seferis fékk Nóbelsverðlaunin í bókmenntum árið 1963.Hann lést árið 1971."

Album: "Fire of Unknown Origin" (1981)
by Eric Bloom and British author Michael Moorcock (creator of Elric of Melniboné).
Covered by Metallica
[The song] may also be a dual statement on the media manipulations and war itself. Obviously, psychic wars going on here at home are just as important as the real war in attempting to convince the people that war is useful and going well. Weariness of a war going on far too long, along with an assault on personal liberty and privacy, is the message of lines such as "But the war's still going on dear / And there's no end that I know / And I can't say if we're ever... / I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free," and "It's time we had a break from it / It's time we had some leave."

Micheal Moorcock did cowrite this song (along with Black Blade and the Great Sun Jester).
He says the song is an allusion to a soldier's post traumatic stress syndrome. They keep living the horror in their heads.

La Complainte Du Phoque En Alaska
![La Complainte Du Phoque En Alaska](img/upl/Beau-Dommage.jpg)
Chanson québécoise de langue française – La Complainte Du Phoque En Alaska - Beau Dommage – 1974
Paroles et musique de Michel Rivard
Ah, Lucien l'âne mon ami, voilà que les phoques s'en mêlent et se mettent à la complainte de l'émigration. M'est avis qu'ils ont ben raison...
Mais enfin, Marco Valdo M.I., mon ami, c'est purement symbolique que ce soit un phoque ; c’eût pu aussi bien être un ours blanc ou une girafe... Enfin, une girafe au Québec, ce serait vraiment étonnant... Mais sait-on jamais ? J'ai bien rencontré des gens qui voulaient aller cueillir des pommes en Ontario en décembre.
Je les connais aussi, mais ils se sont ravisés. Ils vont au Brésil ; au nord, certes, mais de un, on est en plein été ; de deux, au Brésil, plus on est au nord, plus on se rapproche de l'Équateur... Et même que de trois, au nord du Brésil, on ne risque pas de rencontrer des phoques... Même si on a... (Continues)

Czerwone maki na Monte Cassino
Traduzione italiana da Studi Cassinati, da cui traggo anche la seguente nota:
![Czerwone maki na Monte Cassino](img/upl/cassino9.jpg)
In effetti, come già commentava Beata, non si tratta di un canto partigiano ma di un canto di guerra del corpo d’armata polacco che nel maggio del 1944 piegò la forte resistenza tedesca a Montecassino al prezzo del quasi totale annientamento…
“… il testo richiama due importanti battaglie del passato: Samosierra, in Spagna, quando nel 1808 le truppe polacche comandate da Napoleone furono massacrate, ma riuscirono comunque a conquistare l’obiettivo, e Rokitno, teatro dei violenti attacchi da parte dei nazisti durante la conquista della Polonia nel 1939.
Della canzone esiste anche una versione rock, musicata dal gruppo Twierdza, in cui però non viene cantato il refrain, ma ben più famosa è la versione cantata da Adam Aston, interprete polacco anch’egli [come Feliks Konarski e Alfred Schütz, autori di “Czerwone maki na Monte Cassino”, ndr] arruolatosi nella guerra in Italia. Ad impreziosire ancora di più il brano è la splendida interpretazione del coro dell’armata russa…”
