Whiskey In The Jar

Anonymous
Questo tradizionale irlandese viene inserito per l'ultima strofa della versione dei Thin Lizzy, poi ripresa anche dai Metallica:
Ora ad alcuni uomini piace pescare ed ad altri andare a caccia di uccelli
Ed ad alcuni uomini piace sentire, sentire il cannone sparare con fragore
Io amo dormire, specialmente nella camera della Mia Molly
Ma qui sono in prigione, sono qui son con una palla (al piede) e una catena che mi lega sì

Whiskey in the Jar è una canzone tradizionale irlandese che parla di un bandito (solitamente dei monti di Cork e Kerry) tradito dalla propria moglie o dalla propria amante. È una delle canzoni tradizionali irlandesi più eseguite ed è stata incisa da artisti come i The Dubliners, The Pogues, Peter, Paul and Mary, The Highwaymen, Roger Whittaker, the Clancy Brothers e Tommy Makem, The Irish Rovers, Poxy Boggards, The Limeliters, King Creosote, The Shatilla Shakers e...

The Ballad of the Springhill Mine Disaster

The Ballad of the Springhill Mine Disaster
Lyrics & Music by Peggy Seeger

Peggy Seeger composed "The Ballad of Springhill" (with assistance from Ewan MacColl) based on the 1958 Springhill Mine Disaster
. It was originally performed by MacColl and Seeger as an a cappella duet.
It was subsequently sung by popular folk revival group Peter, Paul, & Mary.
Irish rock stars U2 drew international attention to the memory of the Springhill mining disaster when they included "The Ballad of Springhill" in the playlist for their Joshua Tree Tour in 1987. U2 performed the song at fifteen concerts, although Bono did misrepresent the year in the song by saying "88" and not "58" during a few live performances. In an interview after the 1987 performance on a 25th anniversary television tribute to the Irish band The Dubliners, Bono stated that the first recording of "The Ballad of Springhill" he heard was that sung by Irish folk singer...

Composta da Dominic Behan per l’opera teatrale “The Quare Fellow”, scritta nel 1954 dal fratello Brendan da Richard Patrick Shannon e presentata per la prima volta a Dublino nel 1955. La canzone è inclusa anche nell’LP “Brendan Behan Sings Irish Folksongs and Ballads”, Spoken Arts Records, 1985. I fratelli Dominic e Brendan Behan furono scrittori e drammaturghi ma, soprattutto, militanti repubblicani e socialisti. Il primo fu addirittura uno dei “dodici apostoli” di Michael Collins, eroe della resistenza irlandese contro gli inglesi. Il secondo ebbe un minore rilievo politico ed artistico, ma solo a...

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Sunday Bloody Sunday
[1998]
Lyrics and music by Chris Byrne "Seanchaí"
Testo e musica di Chris Byrne "Seanchaí"

Lyrics are available at Chants pour une Irlande libre
Il testo è ripreso da Chants pour une Irlande libre

E con questa siamo a tre canzoni con il medesimo titolo: quella, celeberrima, degli U2 e quella, appena meno celebre, ma pur sempre di John Lennon (e Yoko Ono). Ciononostante, personalmente è quella che preferisco. E per diversi, diversi motivi. Non lo sto a spiegare: leggete il testo.[RV]

Walking into Rocky Sullivan's, you might expect to find an Irish pub offering pints of Guinness and, if you're even slightly familiar with its reputation, a good political debate. But on Friday nights, the joint is jumping to the only Celtic-influenced hip-hop band on either side of the Atlantic. Seanchai (pronounced shan-a-kee) and the Unity Squad take the stage each week with their mix of hip-hop, rock,... (Continues)

Bullet The Blue Sky

Bullet The Blue Sky
Il verbo to bullet non esiste, ma visto che bullet significa pallottola, può essere liberamente tradotto con "spara al cielo blu", perdendo purtroppo la forza dell'espressione originale.
(da u2anchetu)
SPARA AL CIELO BLU
