I Want to Live
[1969]
Lyrics by Boris Bergman
Music by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (“Plaisir d'amour”, [1784]), rearranged by Vangelis / Βαγγέλης
Aphrodite's Child (Παιδί της Αφροδίτης) was formed in 1967 by Vangelis (keyboards), together with his musician friends Demis Roussos (bass guitar and vocals), Lucas Sideras (drums and vocals) and Anargyros "Silver" Koulouris (guitar).
But when the group went to Paris in 1968 Koulouris had to stay in Greece (for military service).
The first single was released in 1968: "Plastics nevermore" / "The other people" (as a demo for Philips).
The single "Rain and Tears", released in May 1968, was a huge success all over the world.
The first album: "End of the World" was released in 1968.
In 1969 Aphrodite's Child released their second album "It's Five o'Clock".
In 1970 Vangelis started working on the album "666", when Silver Koulouris joined Aphrodite's Child.

Sergio Falcone, una domanda, senza polemica. Anzi un paio:
Questo è:
A) Un sito di canzoni a tema pacifista, ambientalista, di classe ecc...
B) Un sito di artisti più o meno graditi?
Se hai risposto A:
Cosa non va in questa canzone? C'è o non c'è il tema pacifista, antirazzista? Mi pare di sì. Dunque?
Se hai risposto B:
Allora si dovrebbe cambiare nome al sito. Qualcosa come: Artisti contro la guerra.
Ma qui sorge un problema. Chi stabilisce quali artisti sono degni di essere inseriti? Tu? In questo caso, per favore, fornisci elenco, così ci regoliamo.
Molte grazie.

LA ZINOVIE
est le voyage d’exploration en Zinovie, entrepris par Marco Valdo M. I. et Lucien l’âne, à l’imitation de Carl von Linné en Laponie et de Charles Darwin autour de notre Terre et en parallèle à l’exploration du Disque Monde longuement menée par Terry Pratchett.
La Zinovie, selon Lucien l’âne, est ce territoire mental où se réfléchit d’une certaine manière le monde. La Zinovie renvoie à l’écrivain, logicien, peintre, dessinateur, caricaturiste et philosophe Alexandre Zinoviev et à son abondante littérature.
Dialogue Maïeutique
Comme tout le monde en Zinovie le sait, dit Marco Valdo M.I., la Zinovie est un grand pays, une grande nation, un grand peuple avec de grandes ambitions. Bref, la Zinovie est grandiose.
C’est en effet ce qu’elle diffuse comme message, dit Lucien l’âne. D’ailleurs,... (Continues)

Violence
[2021]
Music & Lyrics by Richard Ackon (Richie Brain)
feat. Shaun Friedman
Domestic violence is not physical abuse alone, it can be verbal. This case of violence can happen to anyone regardless of age and gender.. No one deserves to be treated badly in any shape or form. SAY NÓ TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!! SAY NO TO CHILD ABUSE!

Omaggio a Giordano Bruno
Arrivato il 23 marzo 1945, Franco Battiato ha completato questo suo transito terrestre il 18 maggio dell'anno 2021.
Molti anni prima lo aveva colpito, senza sconti e favoritismi del destino, un mieloma multiplo.

2. Cançó del Front Popular: The Catalan version
Se dell'autore della versione spagnola si sa poco, di quello della versione catalana si sa ancora meno, cioè niente. Certo è che la versione deve essere coeva, e quindi risalire al 1935 circa: la versione segue del resto abbastanza fedelmente quella in castigliano, ma con caratteri originali (ed è più breve).
If little is known about the author of the Spanish version, still less, say nothing, is known about the Catalan translator. The Catalan version must be from the same year 1935 and follows the Spanish version rather faithfully, but with original characters (and it is shorter).[RV]

Cher Daniel, tu as bien raison et j'ai corrigé les paroles de la chanson. En effet, je m'étais étonné de voir les deux noms écrits de cette façon-là en français... Merci pour l'indication.

L'Internationale
In the description of KURDISH [2] it says "Sorani" is "Syrian". In reality the name of this dialect comes from the Soran Emirate and it is spoken in Iraq and Iran. So it would be more accurate to say "Central Kurdish" instead of "Syrian".

Smith penned this prayer-like rocker for the people of Japan in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated their country in 2011.
The New Yorker uses Japan's highest and most symbolic mountain to help convey her feelings about the tragedy.
"Knowing that my country dropped two atom bombs on Japan and killed a couple of hundred thousand people has always been something I've felt a certain amount of pain about. I imagined the people having to deal with this new situation with the threat of a nuclear disaster. I didn't want to write something directly about that but I wanted to show the Japanese people solidarity and love."

What are soaring marmites? French soldiers throwing jars of Marmite out of the trenches in disgust? This makes no sense in this song.
No. I believe the lyric is "while the Malamutes are soaring," referring to the howling of Malamute sled dogs which were used by the French army in WW I to move supplies.

Tenendo presente che un testo scritto per Orietta Berti e per Sanremo nel 1986 non poteva che essere pieno di luoghi comuni e buoni sentimenti (ma non molto diverso da Sting nella sue celebre canzone), vi inviterei a rivederla oggi, nel 2022, alla luce di quello che sta succedendo ora.
"Ma c’è un re con un gran cavallo
che decide quando si balla
e la storia che si ripete è sempre quella.
A voi russi o americani
io non delego il suo domani
su mio figlio non metterete le vostre mani."
IO SOTTOSCRIVO.
