Une autre version de l'éternelle histoire du soldat... Souviens-toi, Lucien l'âne antique mon ami, c'était déjà l'aventure d'Ulysse, et on croirait être revenu au repas des prétendants...

Évidemment que je m'en souviens, j'ai moi-même porté Ulysse à son retour à Ithaque. J'entends encore la voix d'Eumée le vieux porcher me saluer d'un rauque Bienvenue à toi, Lucien l'âne qui ramène notre maître et je sens le souffle humide du vieux chien Argos venu frotter sa tête sur mes genoux. Rien n'était plus pareil, en effet et puis, il y eut le chahut que tu sais quand Ulysse s'est fâché. C'est lui qui a fait le ménage.
C'était une question de salubrité...

Eh oui, Lucien le clairvoyant, l'âne aux mille aventures, le témoin de tant d'événements,... (Continues)

When War is Over

When War is Over
[2007]
Lyrics & Music by Dave Gwyther
Album: Wars Will Cease...When We Refuse To Fight Them

Barman (on me entering the pub hosting that evenings open mic): – So what type of music do you play? –
Me (on my 2nd ever live performance): – Oh, some of my own stuff –
Barman: – Well, we had this kid in here last week singing anti-Vietnam war songs. I hope you're not singing about war. –
Me: – Um, yeah. That was me. –
(on the microphone when I got up there): – I'll stop singing about it when we stop causing it –

…This is a song about a time when war is over."

Chansonchôme wallonne de langue française – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2010
Parodie de « La Danse des Canards » de Werner Thomas et Tony Rendall – 1980

Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! …, s'écrie Lucien l'âne en se roulant par terre avec (forcément) ses quatre pieds dressés vers le ciel et découvrant ainsi un très joli pelage ventral et certain attribut dont la nature généreuse l'a doté... Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! …

Lucien mon ami l'âne si bien doté, dit Marco Valdo M.I. qui tente de calmer ce fou-rire tonitruant, je t'en prie arrête... Je sais qu'il y a de quoi rire tellement cette histoire de canards est stupide, mais enfin, c'est une scie inusable et internationale de surcroît.

General Ludd's Triumph

General Ludd's Triumph
[1811?]
Musica: Sull'aria di Poor Jack
di Charles Dibdin (1715-1814)
Music: To the tune of Poor Jack
by Charles Dibdin (1715-1814)
Fonte / Source:
Kew Home Private Office, 42/119f722, January 27, 1812

Spesso considerata l' “inno Luddista”, General Ludd's Triumph condensa quasi tutte le caratteristiche della retorica Luddista in poche strofe. Malcolm Thomis, uno dei massimi studiosi del Luddismo, ha incluso la canzone al primo posto nella sua raccolta di testi provenienti dall'area di Nottingham, Luddism in Nottinghamshire; anche altri specialisti (Hammond, Sale) le riservano un ruolo importante nelle loro trattazioni storiche sul Luddismo.

General Ludd's Triumph proviene dal Nottinghamshire e fu composta negli ultimi mesi dell'anno 1811, durante l'acme dell'attività Luddista nelle Midlands; essa riflette gli ideali dei tessitori che distruggevano i grossi stocking frames, i primi... (Continues)

Some Soldiers Return

[2007]
Lyrics & Music by Richard Aberdeen
Album: American River

For the family of LCDR Michael Scott Speicher, whose plane went down January 17th, 1991, the first night of the Operation Desert Storm air war. No part of Lieutenant Speicher’s body has ever been found and he is presumed to have survived and been captured by Iraqi forces. His official status remained KIA-BNR, killed in action – body not recovered, until January 11th, 2001, when it was officially changed to MIA – missing in action. The most liberal and most conservative of families, losing a loved one to war, share a same common loss, cutting deep beyond all ability of words to describe.
There's an empty chair tonight at a warm December table

Canzone léviane – Du pas solennel du héron – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2009
Cycle du Cahier ligné – 74

Du pas solennel du héron est la septante-quatrième chanson du Cycle du Cahier ligné, constitué d'éléments tirés du Quaderno a Cancelli de Carlo Levi.

Cette fois, Lucien l'âne mon ami à l'âme d'or, je te l'accorde, le titre de la canzone sonne étrangement... mais juste. Toi qui as longé tant de fleuves, de rivières, de lacs, de côtes et depuis si longtemps... toi qui as connu le monde sans la pollution, toi qui as vu Xénophon (était-ce lui ?) attendre le passage des cadavres de ses ennemis à l'embouchure qui plonge dans l'Hellespont, non loin de Troie. Toi, l'âne aux yeux plus perçants que ceux de l'autour, tu as certainement déjà vu le héron déployant ses longues échasses et avançant comme détaché du monde commun au plein milieu d'un étang ou d'un marécage. Et donc... (Continues)

Neve diventeremo

Neve diventeremo
"Neve diventeremo", canzone scritta in memoria del partigiano istriano Radovan Zuccon deportato a Buchenwald dai nazisti in campo di concentramento. Sopravvissuto anche dopo una lunga e travagliata vicenda sotto la dittatura titina negli anni ’50 si stabilì ad Albiolo, un paese in provincia di Como.

Di questo brano abbiamo realizzato anche il videoclip diretto dal giovane regista Luca Tossani.
Abbiamo girato delle scene a Buchenwald autorizzati dalla Direzione del campo di sterminio dopo aver presentato la documentazione (Croce Rossa, ecc. ecc.) della detenzione di Rado. Altre scene toccanti come il trasporto dei deportati sono state girate usando un vecchio vagone ferroviario della tratta Chiasso-Valmorea-Castellanza, ora chiamata “Della Valmorea”. Scena che si e' potuta realizzare grazie alla grande partecipazione di "comparse volontarie", come le scene girate ad Olgiate Comasco, Albiolo e Cagno
Dimenticare vuol dire lasciare dietro se una parte di noi

A happy New Year to everybody!

« Ceci n'est pas une traduction. »

Lysistrata

Lysistrata
Ecco, da Lisistrata di Aristofane, il responso dell’oracolo, riveduto dal poeta Nikos Gatsos per la rappresentazione a Epidauro della commedia in lingua moderna. Musica del grande Stavros Xarhàkos.

Όρκος

Στίχοι: Νίκος Γκάτσος
Μουσική: Σταύρος Ξαρχάκος
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Τζένη Καρέζη

Χελιδόνες ενωμένες
Μόνες και αεροπαρμένες
Αν κρατήσουν την ορμή τους
Και δεν δώσουν το κορμί τους

Τότε αυτές πού’ν’ από κάτω
Θα΄ρθουν όλες από πάνω
Θα’ρθουν όλες από πάνω
Τότε αυτές πού’ν’ από κάτω

Όταν όμως τσιμπηθούνε
Κι από δω απομακρυνθούνε
Για να πάν’ να πηδηχτούνε
Τότε θα’ρθει η συμφορά

Θα’ρθουν όλα άνω κάτω
Ούτε πάνω ούτε κάτω
Ούτε πάνω ούτε κάτω
Θα’ρθουν όλα άνω κάτω

(Testo-traduzione di Nikos Gatsos per "Lisistrata" di Aristofane - 1973. Musica di Stavros Xarchàkos).

Comment ça, tu ne sais pas trop au juste, dit Lucien l'âne un peu ahuri...

Attends de voir et tu vas me comprendre. Voilà, ce n'est pas une chanson comme une autre en ce qu'elle reprend mot pour mot un poème de Pier Paolo qui évoque la mort de son frère Guido, tué dans un combat entre partisans dans ce Friule revendiqué par les Italiens et les Yougoslaves.

Chanson italienne – Ma che bel mondo è – Punkreas

Voici la réécriture ironique en italien de What a Wonderfull World, qui se réfère pour l'arrangement à la version de Joey Ramone.

Cette parodie n'a pas plu aux discographes étazuniens qui détiennent les droits de la chanson d'Armstrong qui, par une « menace préventive » ont empêché de la publier sur le disque « Quello che sei » de 2005.

Tu vois, Lucien l'âne mon ami à l'antique courage, décidément, il y en a qui ne comprendront jamais rien et qui joueront jusqu'au bout les empêcheurs de créer en rond.

Quoi, quoi, que se passe-t-il, mon cher ami Marco Valdo M.I., te voilà presque en colère, toi qui es toujours si calme et presque placide ?

The World Trade Center buildings collapsed at free-fall speed in 10 seconds. Explosions were seen and heard. This was an obvious controlled demolition proving that 911 was an inside job. We need a new investigation to bring the real terrorists to justice!

Reverend Gary Davis: Death Don't Have No Mercy

Reverend Gary Davis: Death Don't Have No Mercy
Il primo album in cui il brano appare è “Blind Gary Davis - Harlem Street Singer” della Fantasy Records risalente al 1960.

Propongo l’inserimento di questo storico blues dopo aver letto questo articolo di Tyler Durden da Zerohedge e quest’altro dello scrittore italo-israeliano Shulim Vogelmann da La Repubblica.

Durden ci racconta che dopo il nobel per la pace di cui è stato ingiustamente insignito il re dei guerrafondai, il “Chief-Butcher-in-command” Obama (che oltre ad inviare altri 30.000 soldati in Afghanistan, sta pure per avviare un nuovo fronte di guerra nello Yemen dopo il fallito attentato al volo Delta Amsterdam-Detroit), il Time ha assegnato il titolo di uomo dell’anno a Ben Bernanke, il capo della Federal Reserve, colui grazie al quale le banche e i mostri finanziari, dopo l’immensa abbuffata ai danni dei cittadini statunitensi e dell’umanità perpetrata negli ultimi anni, hanno...

Ο Ύμνος του ΕΛΑΣ

Ο Ύμνος του ΕΛΑΣ
Chiedo scusa per l'anonimato che avevo attribuito alle due canzoni della resistenza greca, tanto popolari da avermi tratto in inganno: e non immaginavo che nell'era informatica, che sembra rendere tutto così facile, fosse invece complicato correggere il nome di un autore. Ora, però, avrei da correggere un verso, la cui traduzione non mi soddisfaceva. Anche nelle versioni scolastiche,( te ne ricorderai, Riccardo) se, per dare un senso alla frase, si dovevano troppo forzare i significati delle parole e i giri di sintassi, voleva dire che l'errore era rimasto. E anche qui c'è un errore: per βαγια avevo a disposizione due significati: al nominativo femminile "balia" e, in caso diretto neutro plurale, "allori" (con estensione del senso a "palma", "mirto", "ramo d'ulivo": insomma una fronda festosa).
