'August 6, 1945 (Black Rain)' is a requiem for the people who were killed and maimed in the bombing of Hiroshima at the end of World War II, and a tribute to the spirit of those who lived just long enough to drink the radioactive 'black rain'.

Chanson italienne – Più di voï – Punkreas – 2002
« Mourir du travail non. »
Nous avions déjà rencontré les Punkreas et même, traduit une de leurs chansons « Ma che bel mondo è », car elle avait fait l'objet d'une censure commerciale, de la part de ceux qui s'arrogent le droit d'enfermer les mots dans des contrats pour en tirer des profits des plus illicites... A-t-on déjà vu l'oiseau réclamer des droits d'auteur sur ses authentiques créations ?
L'oiseau, non. Mais des gens comme eux, oui. Ils ont réussi à enfermer le chant de l'oiseau dans leur caisse à musique, caisse enregistreuse , s'il en est. Ils ont coupé les ailes aux oiseaux, ils sont coupé la langue aux rossignols. On ne peut être plus crétin.

The song is a ballad in which the song's narrator tells about his life through walking. In the first verse, he is a boy who is reluctant to walk down the driveway to the school bus and go to school, until he is comforted by his father. In the second verse, the narrator is again comforted by his father after being drafted and sent to fight in Vietnam. By the third verse, the father is now very old and about to die, when is comforted by the narrator with the same words as before.

Lyrics by Joe Hill
Music: Sung to the tune of "Where The River Shannon Flows"
Testo di Joe Hill
Musica: Sull'aria di "Where the River Shannon Flows"
The song was written by Joe Hill on the banks of the Frazer River during a particularly nasty strike in British Columbia, Canada. "Where The Fraser River Flows" was written to aid construction workers laying track for the Canadian Northern Railroad Company in British Columbia who were striking because of low wages, unsanitary living conditions, bad food, and hazardous working conditions. The song was first included in the IWW's Little Red Song Book in 1912.
"Several months before the strike began the I.W.W. had established Local 327 in British Columbia and had sent men to organize the construction workers. By February 1912 the membership of the local had grown to 8,000. On March 27 the strike began; within a few days construction... (Continues)

Ho trovato, per caso, alcuni elementi interessanti riguardo all'origine di questa canzone.
Il celebre ritornello sarebbe in realtà preso da una canzone tedesca del 1830 di tal Albert von Schlippenbach intitolata "Ein Heller und ein Batzen". La cosa curiosa è che in Germania questa canzone è più che altro conosciuta per essere stata una marcia di guerra dell'epoca nazista...
Ho trovato queste informazioni nella pagina di Wikipedia della canzone "Fast as a Shark" del gruppo metal tedesco Accept, all'inizio della quale si sente proprio una registrazione del ritornello. Questa cosa, sempre stando alla pagina di Wikipedia, causò qualche problemino al gruppo, che naturalmente era ignaro del significato del brano quando lo usò.
Altre informazioni, immagino, si possono trovare nella pagina di Wikipedia tedesca dell'autore del brano originario , che però per me è praticamente inaccessibile visto... (Continues)

Version française - LA BALLADE DE PIPU MAJEN – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2010
Chanson italienne (Piémontais Mandrognais – Alessandria) a - LA BALLATA DI GIUSEPPE MAYNO - Piero Milanese – 2000
Dans cette ballade, Piero Milanese, écrivain et poète dialectal mandrognien (ce n'est pas une insulte, c'est le nom traditionnel des Alessandriens) , nous raconte l'histoire de Pipu Majen, Giuseppe Mayno (en italien), mieux connu comme Majen de la Spinëta (son village natal, près de Marengo) ou « Majen della Fraschetta » (son terrain d'action, la zone boisée, aujourd'hui disparue, qui au début du 19 ième se trouvait comprise entre Orba et Scrivia, à l'est d'Alessandria... je crois qu'elle correspond à l'actuel Bois de Marengo), ses noms de brigand.
Giuseppe Mayno était né en 1780 dans une famille pauvre et nombreuse. Son père était charretier. Giuseppe était un rebelle, rétif aux dominations et aux impositions.... (Continues)

![Wipe That Smile Off Your Face](img/upl/513N89CW52L._SS500_.jpg)
[2005]
Lyrics by Raine Maida
Music by OLP & Bob Rock.
Album: Healthy in Paranoid Times
Lyrically, Maida says his words follow the music and are very much a product of the times.
"The timing was perfect in terms of where we were both at musically".
"I think it's going to be a little more raw, a little bit more in your face, not a lot of relationship stuff," Maida said, noting that fans will get a preview of a couple of the tracks, Wipe That Smile Off Your Face and Walking In Circles, on the tour.
"My head, with what's going on in the world and being able to reflect on all the (stuff) that I've done in the last few years in terms of going to Iraq, working very closely with War Child (a charity that supports children in war-ravaged nations), I'm in that mode.
I'm not angry, but kind of frustrated".
