Armenian Persecution
ciao sono beatrice a me piace molto questa canzone xk trasmette tanto e soprattutto ti fa riflettere. beh io vi invito anche solo a leggere le parole xk sono molto forti, ma è quello che realmente è successo in Armenia, che non ha mai ottenuto l'indipendenza xk i turchi ritenevano l'Armenia una città sviluppata sotto il profilo economico. E vi invito a vedere la "MASSERIA DELLE ALLODOLE" xk è un film molto forte, ma ti fa riflettere molto a cosa è successo in Armenia, xk io non ho mai sentito parlare del genocidio armeno, ma da una parte grazie al film ho capito realmente cos'è. bea

La Bastille
Un Brel dei primi anni, ancora permeato dall'idealismo cristiano e un po' Naif. Una canzone del 1953 ancora attuale oggi.
La "Grand Soir" è naturalmente la Rivoluzione.

La storia non insegna
Una notte. Una nave. Decine di uomini e donne che vogliono portare aiuto ad altri uomini e donne. Improvvisamente: spari, bombe, elicotteri, assalti, morti (per ora 19), feriti, un massacro. Uno sterminio. Luci ed esplosioni che squarciano il cielo. Grida e sangue innocente. I visi distorti dalla ferocia.
Non è il racconto dell'attacco notturno di una squadraccia contro i partigiani, o quello di un blitz delle SS per scovare ebrei nascosti in territorio tedesco. È la storia di quello che lo Stato di Israele ha appena compiuto contro una nave di aiuti umanitari diretta verso la Striscia di Gaza.
La Freedom Flotilla è stata assaltata e le persone a bordo massacrate. Le ultime di migliaia di vittime della foga omicida dello Stato di Israele.

In un anno e più d'amore
Chanson italienne – In un anno e più d'amore – Gianni Nebbiosi – 1972
Tu vois, Lucien l'âne mon ami, il est des jours où l'on n'est pas trop satisfait de ce qu'on a fait. Par exemple, cette traduction de la chanson de Gianni Nebbiosi me tracasse. J'ai hésité à te la faire connaître, mais que dire... Faut-il la laisser de côté ou, – c'est finalement la solution que j'ai choisie, la montrer quand même. Au moins, elle passera en langue française et si quelqu'un trouve à y redire, qu'il y redise.
Oh, dit Lucien l'âne, ne te tracasse pas tant. Je vais te raconter une anecdote qui, j'espère, te donnera tes apaisements. Pris dans des tracasseries de l'existence, un homme (ce pourrait être toi, par exemple) se plaint et se demande comment tout cela va finir ? Son ami (moi, par exemple) le rassure et lui dit : « Ne t'inquiète donc pas tant, tout finit toujours par s'arranger, c'est sûr... Même mal. »

Come All You Coal Miners
[1937]
Lyrics and Music by Sarah Ogan Gunning
Album: Harlan County USA Songs Of Th[2006]
Sarah Garland Gunning (later Sarah Ogan Gunning) was the tenth of 11 children in a Kentucky mining family, at a time when miners were paid less than a dollar and a half for a ten-hour day and worked in appalling conditions. Her father, Jim Garland, was blacklisted as he represented the miners in their fight for better wages, forcing him to use aliases in order go work in the mines. In 1931, a group of Northerners called the Dreiser Committee came to Kentucky to investigate atrocities committed against the miners, and brought their plight to national attention.
Sarah Garland and her sister, Molly (later known as Aunt Molly Jackson) wrote and sang songs in support of the struggle at labor rallies. They were taken to New York by members of the Dreiser Committee to help raise money for the miners' cause.... (Continues)

Gaza: Israel attacks the Freedom Flotilla
While the number of victims is steadily growing, I learn from CNRMedia that also three Italian pacifists, and among them “our” Joe Fallisi are on board on one of the Freedom Flotilla vessels...I wonder if someone has news of him... (The Lone Ranger)
We had, and I say “we had”, in this site also “Hatikva”, the Zionist hymn and current national anthem of Israel. I myself had included it here for certain, particular historical reasons; but these reasons do not subsist anymore after an act like that occurring in these hours. Although this website is renowned for its uttermost plurality of views, it would be just the same if we included the Horst Wessel Lied. For this reason, I have removed the Hatikva page, with the hope that we can include in this site, one day, the anthem of a free and united Palestine where all can really live in peace. (Riccardo Venturi)
For the same reasons, the CCG/AWS Staff does not think it right that the song "Shir laShalom" should be included anymore in the "Basic Songs", although it is kept in the website. This for the absolute lack of sincerity of a State whose policy of warfare and aggression is not likely to come to an end. We wish it replaced with a true peace song, that is Angelita di Anzio; let it be dedicated to all Angelitas of Gaza. (AWS/CCG Staff)

Addio mia bella addio
Questa canzone fu scritta da alcuni volontari del battaglione toscano studentesco (Università di Pisa e Siena) che partirono per respingere l'invasione austriaca lasciando i libri e imbracciando i fucili, a Curtatone e Montanara il 28 e 29 maggio. Per quanto poco romantico possa sembrare è il primo esempio di coscienza popolare italiana, dove una classe medioborghese parte per il fronte (prima linea) professori e studenti accanto.
Di questi (erano poco più di trecento) ne tornarono una manciata, per poi vedere la Toscana cadere nel 1849 con la presa di Livorno (16 maggio), operata dal Granduca che vendette tutto il Granducato per un milione di Svanziche.
Mi sembrava giusto inserire il contesto storico.

Τα 18 λιανοτράγουδα της πικρής πατρίδας
Ben prima di Ritsos, scopro ora, il ciclamino di roccia aveva già ispirato il vate Kostis Palamas (Patrasso, 1859 - Atene, 1943) in questo addio alla primavera-estate col benvenuto all'autunno.

Explosion in the Fairmount Mines
[1927]
Lyrics by Blind Alfred Reed
Album: Complete Recorded Works (1927-1929)
On Dec 6, 1907, several mines owned by the Fairmount Coal Company in Monagah, West Virginia exploded, killing hundreds of miners.... Twenty years later the memory of this tragedy was so strong in Alfred Reed's mind that he naturally associated his song with that event. The new accident, that resulted in more than 300 deaths, set up perhaps the most popular of many songs about mining disasters released during this era. The song itself stems from a recording made in 1924 by Vernon Dalhart, composed by Andrew Jenkins and based on an earlier piece of English origin ("Don't Go Down In The Mine, Dad").
It is interesting to note how Reed has modified the rhymes and meter.... The beautiful melody he employs also parallels its original in an interesting fashion: where the chorus of the Jenkins piece employs the subdominant,... (Continues)

Lyrics and Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: A World to Win: Songs from the Struggle for Global Justice
"This is a song about the anti-FTAA protests in Quebec City, 2001 and the ever-growing international movement against corporate globalization and capitalism that was born on the streets of Seattle and has continued in every corner of the globe. From the fights against hydro privatization in South Africa, the G8 in Kananaskis, incredible uprisings in Argentina and demonstrations in Seville, to name but a few, it is clear that the movement is growing stronger. We are still winning! We will make a different history - our history!"

True Stories
The "War Resisters"
Kimberly Rivera was the first woman US soldier to have sought asylum in our country to avoid being deployed to Iraq. Since moving to Toronto with her family a year and a half ago, the 26-year-old Iraq War veteran and mother of two has confronted struggles both personal and political: estrangement from her family back in Texas, long periods of unemployment and, above all, the imminent threat of deportation. Kimberly would not have it any other way. To Canada's first female defector from the United States military, her adopted home is a "peaceful environment, somewhere I can raise my family, somewhere I can be me".
The American military calls people like Kimberly "deserters". To their supporters in Canada and the US, they are "war resisters."

mi pare che il verso di difficile traduzione, in cui Gian Piero Testa ha tradotto erroneamente βάγια con balia, possa essere così reso:
apro la strada della libertà e la ricopro di ramoscelli d'alloro per il suo passaggio
dove το στρώνω βάγια sarebbe riferito a δρόμο (strada) e non al fucile, cioè è la strada ad essere ricoperta di ramoscelli d'alloro (βάγια). mi rendo conto di quanto poco felice risulti la versificazione, ma la traduzione mi sembra più vicina al senso del verso.

[2000]
Lyrics and Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: A World to Win: Songs from the Struggle for Global Justice [2002]
The Canadian Conservative Reform Alliance Party, founded on March 2000, was quickly renamed to the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance when all its opponents pointed out that its initials spelled CCRAP (crap:-))). The satirical magazine Frank proposed alternatives to CCRAP, namely SSHIT and NSDAP.
The 10 Year anniversary edition of the song written when CCRAP party formed - now the Conservative Party. Different name, but same old crap!

When Will The Madness End?
[2002]
Lyrics & Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: A World to Win: Songs from the Struggle for Global Justice
An anti-war song specifically about the about 'war on terror' - also included on the "ONE BIG NO" CD compilation released by Artists Against War
(This song was written just after George Bush started to bomb Afghanistan, in "retaliation" for the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon on September 11th. It is also about how other struggles, such as the Intifada in Palestine and imperialism in Africa are all connected and a struggle against the same system - capitalism)
"Operation Enduring Freedom" AKA more war!

Not in Our Name
[2003]
Lyrics and Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: Times like these...
Kind of self explanatory, this song was inspired by the massive anti-war protests and world-wide opposition to the war on Iraq, with the major theme of "Not in our Name". It exposes the real "Axis of evil - Tony Blair and George Bush.

[2002]
Lyrics and Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: A World to Win: Songs from the Struggle for Global Justice
The United Nations approved sanctions on Iraq and the continued bombing - for over 10 years prior to the latest attack.
(This song was originally written for Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright who are responsible for the death of over half a million children because of the sanctions they imposed on Iraq. And now George Bush is threatening to spread his "War on Terror" into Iraq...)

End of War
(2008)
The idea for this song came about after reading Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax to my son and wishing the story offered a more hopeful lesson than the “if only” written on the rock at the end. Around the same time, I was watching Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s seven-part PBS documentary, “The War.” The film’s personal narratives moved me deeply and left me astonished at the senseless destruction of so many lives. I imagined how wonderful it would be if I could respond to my son’s questions about war by explaining that it was a terrible thing of the past rather than something my own country was waging in a growing number of places. With all this fresh in my consciousness, I somehow arrived at three chords that were hopeful and uplifting, and I found myself singing “the end of war” as I played them.
In writing the song, I couldn’t help but be influenced by John Lennon, to whom I pay tribute... (Continues)

Wavin' Flag
2009
Un bel messaggio per le persone nate in paesi poveri, sottosviluppati, sottomessi che devono affrontare i problemi della guerra, la fame, la disperazione...un bel messaggio di incoraggiamento alla lotta, a non arrendersi, a migliorare sempre e comunque per se stessi ma anche per il proprio paese...
Una canzone che ci invita a credere ma soprattutto a sperare in un futuro migliore nonostante sembri che nulla sia cambiato o che si torni indietro o semplicemente che si rimanga sempre fermi allo stesso punto.
È la lotta o la resistenza l'unica cosa che non fa morire la speranza ed è importante che le nuove generazioni siano fiduciose e pronte a cambiare la realtà e le ingiustizie di un paese e perché no del mondo intero...
Da non tralasciare anche l'aspetto critico di questo testo verso i potenti che manovrano i fili accecati dalla sete di potere e dalla avidità.

Lyrics by Chemical Mike.
"This is part two of "The People's Money". Hope you all like it. I went more a more electronic sound this time, so no guitar in this one. I mixed it all down on a laptop, with some cheap headphones and a very low grade sound card, so the sound levels.

Ack Ack Ack Ack
[1979]
7” EP “Another EP”
The song is a very basic anti-war punk song; the title comes from imitating the sound of a machine gun ("Johnny got his gun, ack ack ack ack...").
Influential American punk/alternative trio Minutemen frequently covered "Ack Ack Ack" in their live shows. Live recordings of different versions of the Minutemen's cover can be heard on the albums The Politics of Time and Ballot Result and the 7" EP Tour-Spiel, and a studio recording appears on the Minutemen's final studio album 3-Way Tie (For Last).
The Urinals' bassist John Talley-Jones directed a Three Stooges-inspired video for the Minutemen's studio version of "Ack Ack Ack" in September 1985; it would be the Minutemen's last video. The video is included as one of the DVD bonus features of We Jam Econo, a full-length Minutemen documentary. (en.wikipedia)

Major Tom
[1983]
Il Maggiore Tom è un persongaggio inventato da David Bowie e protagonista di diverse sue canzoni, come “Space Oddity”, “Ashes to Ashes” ed “Hallo Spaceboy”. Nel 1983 il musicista synthpop tedesco Peter Schilling riprese il personaggio per il suo singolo “Major Tom (Völlig losgelöst)” / “Major Tom (Coming Home)”. Plastic Bertrand, a sua volta, riprese il brano di Schilling riscrivendone il testo e facendone una canzone contro l’escalation nucleare.

Another Brick In The Wall Part I
"La paura alza i muri", è scritto in un graffito a Gerusalemme", raccontava ieri Waters - che assomiglia sempre più a Richard Gere - durante la presentazione del nuovo progetto, a Londra. "Il mondo è ancora pieno di muri. C'è un muro che separa i ricchi dai poveri, un muro tra il primo, il secondo e il terzo mondo, ci sono muri che dividono la gente a causa del loro credo e della loro ideologia. Il motore di The wall fu il ricordo di mio padre morto in guerra, ma ci sono ancora tanti papà impegnati nei conflitti, molte famiglie, soprattutto negli Usa, che hanno perso parenti in Medio Oriente e anche tante famiglie che piangono vittime civili. Oggi chi ha alle spalle una storia come la mia non scrive The wall, va a raccontarla nei reality show, in cerca di quindici minuti di celebrità. Si diventa famosi senza saper far nulla, non c'è più bisogno di saper recitare, cantare o che so io. Al contrario,... (Continues)

Lyrics by Jim Garland
Music: sung to the tune of "East Virginia" or "Greenback Dollar"
This song is about the frustration of a man out of work. His master has made a fortune but he is out of a job. The political parties continue their empty rhetoric but he's children are still cold and hungry. (Jim Garland, Sarah Garland Gunning's half-brother, was a contemporary of Woody Guthrie and Heddy "Leadbelly" Leadbetter. He was also one to the troubadour union organizers of the Industrial Workers of the World. He suffered from tuberculosis and took refuge at Leadbelly's home.
"Jim Garland said that he wrote this song about life in the coalfields of Appalachia...
Jim Garland was here in Leadbelly's house, and Jim's wife and their three children. Jim's children were sick lots of the time, and his wife took down with the fogs of TB. Then Jim got down with it, and for a long time he... (Continues)
