"Nuvole contro la guerra"
parte 3
Contro il rumore assordante
delle armi che si preparano a sparare non possiamo fare nulla, solo
coprire frastuono con la musica.
Che queste parole siano come NUVOLE di pace nel cielo della guerra.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
Louis Armstrong I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you. I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world Inviate da BRUNO GREMMI THE WAR SONG

Io vedo alberi verdi e anche rose rosse
Li vedo sbocciare per me e per te E penso tra me, che mondo meraviglioso! Vedo i cieli blu e nuvole bianche Il chiaro e benedetto giorno e la sacra notte scura E penso tra me, che mondo meraviglioso! I colori dell'arcobaleno, così belli nel cielo Si riflettono anche sui visi delle persone Vedo amici tenersi per mano, e dirsi "Come stai?" Ma in realtà loro dicono "Ti amo" Sento bambini piangere, Io li vedo crescere Loro impareranno molto più di quello che io so E penso tra me, che mondo meraviglioso Sì penso tra me, che mondo meraviglioso Oh sì No more war

Abraham Martin And John - Smokey Robinson
Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young You know I just looked around and he's gone Anybody here seen my old friend John? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young I just looked around and he's gone Anybody here seen my old friend Martin? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young I just looked around and he's gone Didn't you love the things that they stood for? Didn't they try to find some good for you and me? And we'll be free Some day soon, it's gonna be one day Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby? Can you tell me where he's gone? I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill With Abraham, Martin, and John One Tin Soldier Joni Mitchell - Joan Baez Listen children to a story that was written long ago 'bout a kindom on a mountain and the valley folk below on the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone and the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own CHORUS: go ahead and hate your neighbour go ahead and cheat a friend do it in the name of heaven you could justify it in the end There won't be any trumpets blowing come the judgement day on the bloody morning after One tin soldier rides away So the people of the valley sent a message of the hill, asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill. Came an answer from the kingdom "with our brothers we will share. All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there." Now the valley cried with anger,"mount your horses, draw your sword" And they killed the mountain people so they won their just reward. Now they stood beside the treasure, on the mountain dark and red. Turned the stone and looks beneath it; PEACE ON EARTH was all it said. CHORUS REPEAT Le déserteur Paroles et musique : Boris Vian. 1954 incisa anche da Serge Reggiani Monsieur le président Je vous fais une lettre Que vous lirai peut-être Si vous avez le temps Je viens de recevoir Mes papiers militaires Pour partir à la guerre Avant mercredi soir Monsieur le président Je ne veux pas la faire Je ne suis pas sur terre Pour tuer les pauvres gens C'est pas pour vous fâcher Il faut que je vous dise Ma décision est prise Je m'en vais déserter Depuis que je suis né J'ai vu mourir mon père J'ai vu partir mes frères Et pleurer mes enfants Ma mère a tant souffert Qu'elle est dedans sa tombe Et se moque des bombes Et se moque des vers Quand j'étais prisonnier On m'a volé ma femme On m'a volé mon âme Et tout mon cher passé Demain de bon matin Je fermerai ma porte Au nez des années mortes J'irai sur les chemins Je mendierai ma vie Sur les routes de France De Bretagne en Provence Et je crierai aux gens Refusez d'obéir Refusez de la faire N'allez pas à la guerre Refusez de partir S'il faut donner son sang Allez donner le vôtre Vous êtes bon apôtre Monsieur le président Si vous me poursuivez Prévenez vos gendarmes Que je serai en armes Et que je sais tirer |

I Ain't Marching Anymore Phil Ochs Written by Phil Ochs and Bob Gibson Oh, I marched to the battle of New Orleans At the end of the early British war The young land started growin' The young blood started flowin' But I ain't a-marchin' anymore But I've killed my share of Indians In a thousand different fights I was there at the Little Big Horn I saw many men lyin' I saw many more dyin' But I ain't a-marchin' anymore CHORUS It's always the old to lead us to the war Always the young to fall Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun Tell me, is it worth it all For I stole California from the Mexican land Fought in the bloody Civil War Yes I even killed my brothers And so many others But I ain't a-marchin' anymore For I marched to the battles of the German trench In a war that was bound to end all wars Oh, I must have killed a million men And now they want me back again But I ain't a-marchin' anymore CHORUS For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky Set off the mighty mushroom roar When I saw the cities burnin' I knew that I was learnin' That I ain't a-marchin' anymore Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore Call it "Peace" or call it "Treason" Call it "Love" or call it "Reason" But I ain't a-marchin' any more. No, I ain't a-marchin' any more Peace On Earth - U2 Heaven on earth We need it now I'm sick of all of this Hanging around Sick of sorrow Sick of pain Sick of hearing again and again That there's gonna be Peace on earth Where I grew up There weren't many trees Where there was we'd tear them down And use them on our enemies They say that what you mock Will surely overtake you And you become a monster So the monster will not break you It's already gone too far Who said if you go in hard You won't get hurt Jesus could you take the time To throw a drowning man a line Peace on earth Tell the ones who hear no sound Whose sons are living in the ground Peace on earth No whos or whys No-one cries like a mother cries For peace on earth She never got to say goodbye To see the colour in his eyes Now he's in the dirt That's peace on earth They're reading names out over the radio All the folks the rest of us won't get to know Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann and Breda Their lives are bigger, than any big idea Jesus could you take the time To throw a drowning man a line Peace on earth Tell the ones who hear no sound Whose sons are living in the ground Peace on earth Jesus this song you wrote The words are sticking in my throat Peace on earth Hear it every Christmas time But hope and history won't rhyme So what's it worth? This peace on earth Peace on earth Peace on earth Peace on earth Peace train
by Cat Stevens Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be, something good has begun Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be, something good has begun Oh peace train sounding louder Glide on the peace train Come on now peace train Yes, peace train holy roller Everyone jump upon the peace train Come on now peace train Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you living, it's not so far from you And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again Revolution The Beatles You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don't you know that you can count me out Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right You say you got a real solution Well, you know We'd all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well, you know We're doing what we can But when you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell is brother you have to wait Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah... You say you'll change the constitution Well, you know We all want to change your head You tell me it's the institution Well, you know You better free you mind instead But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right all right, all right, all right all right, all right, all right Signs Five Man Electrical Band And the sign said, "Long-haired freaky people Need not apply." So I tucked my hair up under my hat And I went in to ask him why. He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man. I think you'll do." So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that. huh , me workin' for you." Whoa, sign, sign. Everywhere a sign. Blockin' out the scen'ry. Breakin' my mind. Do this. Don't do that. Can't you read the sign? And the sign said, "Anybody caught trespassin' Will be shot on sight." So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you the right To put up a fence to keep me out, But to keep Mother Nature in? If God was here, he'd tell you to your face, 'Man, you're some kind of sinner.'" Sign, sign. Everywhere a sign. Blockin' out the scenery. Breakin' my mind. Do this. Don't do that. Can't you read the sign? Now, hey you, Mister, can't you read? You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat. You can't even watch. No, you can't eat. You ain't supposed to be here. The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card To get inside." Uh. And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in. Kneel down and pray." But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a penny to pay So I got me a pen and a paper And I made up my own little sign. I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine." Whoo! Sign, sign. Everywhere a sign. Blockin' out the scenery. Breakin' my mind. Do this. Don't do that. Can't you read the sign? Sign, sign. Everywhere a sign. Sign, sign. Sky Pilot Eric Burdon & The Animals He blesses the boys as they stand in life the smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine he's here to help them all that he can to make them feel wanted he's a good holy man. Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly you'll never never never reach the sky. He smiles at the young soldiers tells them it's all right he knows of their fears in the forthcoming fight soon there'll be blood and many will die mother and fathers back home they will cry. Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly you'll never never never reach the sky. He humbles a prayer and it ends with a smile the order is given they move down the line but he'll stay behind and he'll meditate but it won't stop to bleeding or is the hate. As the young men move out into the battle zone he feels good with god you're never alone he feels so tired and he lays on his bed hopes the men will find courage in the words that he's said. Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly you'll never never never reach the sky. You're soldiers of god you must understand the fate of your country is in you ryoung hands may god give you strength do your job really well if it all was worth in only time it will tell. In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes the stench of death drifts up to the skies a young soldier so it looks at the sky bright remember the words thou shalt not kill.

(x7) TRADUZIONE Treno della pace by Cat Stevens Ultimamente sono stato felice pensando alle cose belle che accadranno e penso che potrebbe essere iniziato qualcosa di buono Oh, ultimamente ho sorriso sognando il mondo come un tutt'uno e credo che sia possibile Arriverà un certo giorno perchè la fuori al limite della notte là viaggia un treno della pace, raggiumgi questo posto Vieni a riportarmi a casa Ultimamente ho sorriso pensando alle belle cose che accadranno E credo che potrebbe essere iniziato qualcosa di buono Oh treno della pace, che fischi più forte Sgusciate sul treno della pace Vieni adesso, treno della pace, sacre ruote Tutti saltano sul treno della pace Vieni adesso treno della pace Mettete i bagagli tutti assieme Andate a prendere anche gli amici Perchè si avvicina e presto sarà da voi. Venite a unirvi alla vita Non è lontana da voi E si avvicina e presto sarà tutto vero Oh treno della pace, che fischi sempre più forte Sgusciate sul treno della pace Vieni adesso, treno della pace!! Ultimamente ho pianto Pensando al mondo com'è realmente Perchè dobbiamo odiarci? Perchè non possiamo vivere in pace? Perchè là fuori, al limite della notte, là corre un treno della pace Ringrazio Marco RE per la collaborazione!

The times they are a-changin Bob Dylan - 1963 Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'. For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin'. It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'. Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin'. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin'. And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'. Please baby lay down your arms. UNIVERSAL SOLDIER DONOVAN He is five foot two, anbd he's six feet four, he fights with missiles and with spears, he is all of thirty-one, and he's only a seventeen, 's been a soldier for thousands years. He's a Catolic, a Hindy, an atheist, A Chein, A Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew, and he knows, he shouldn't kill, and he knows, he always will, care for me, my friend, and I will care for you. And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France, he's fighting for the USA and he's fighting for the Russains, he's fihgting for Japan, and he thinks we put an end to war this way. And he's fighting for democrazy, he's fighting for the Reds, he says it's for the peace of all, he's the one who must decide, who's to live and who's to die, and he never sees the writing on the wall. And without him, how would Hitler kill the people at Dachau, without him Cesar would have stood alone, he's the one, who gives his body as a weapon of the war, and without him always killing cant gho on. He's the universal soldier, and he really is to blame, his orders came from far away, no more, they came from here and there, and you and me ain't brothers, can't you see, this is not the way we put an end to war. Where Have All The Flowers Gone Peter Paul And Mary Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing? Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago? Where have all the flowers gone? Gone to young girls, every one! When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing? Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago? Where have all the young girls gone? Gone to young men, every one! When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? Where have all the young men gone, long time passing? Where have all the young men gone, long time ago? Where have all the young men gone? Gone to soldiers, every one! When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? And where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing? Where have all the soldiers gone, a long time ago? Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards, every one! When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? And where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing? Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago? Where have all the graveyards gone? Gone to flowers, every one! When will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn? With God on Our Side Bob Dylan - Copyright (c) 1963 Oh my name it is nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I's taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God on its side. Oh the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Oh the country was young With God on its side. Oh the Spanish-American War had its day And the Civil War too Was soon laid away And the names of the heroes I's made to memorize With guns in their hands And God on their side. Oh the First World War, boys It closed out its fate The reason for fighting I never got straight But I learned to accept it Accept it with pride For you don't count the dead When God's on your side. When the Second World War Came to an end We forgave the Germans And we were friends Though they murdered six million In the ovens they fried The Germans now too Have God on their side. I've learned to hate Russians All through my whole life If another war starts It's them we must fight To hate them and fear them To run and to hide And accept it all bravely With God on my side. But now we got weapons Of the chemical dust If fire them we're forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side. In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' about this That Jesus Christ Was betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side. So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as Hell The confusion I'm feelin' Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor If God's on our side He'll stop the next war. |
