E' da stamattina che ho in testa questa canzone...

I donated myself to the mexican army - Joseph Arthur

I donated myself to the mexican army
We were 10000 guns shooting into the night
Turning screams into sand and sand into blood
And murdering darkness with fire and light

I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution

Out in the field there's no such thing as mercy
We bloom through the night into flowers of death
"I don't believe any thing that I've said"
Jesus was heard saying under his breath

I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution

I donated myself to the mexican army
I gave all my love to a mexican whore
I gave her my dreams and I gave her my money
I buried my family under her floor

I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution

I wish I believed in divine destinations
I wish I believed in a world made of light
The needles are biting the arms of salvation
And the mexican army is trained and ready to fight

I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution

Il concerto degli Araukania Kuintet è stato molto molto bello. E' un tipo di jazz un po' rustico, diverso da quello che siamo abituati a sentire. Bel concerto davvero.

"Con questi concerti di Araukania Kuintet, il Cile, che per il secondo anno si impegna nella promozioni di eventi artistici con una forte valenza culturale e un impegnativo messaggio sociale, desidera invitare a riflettere sul valore della memoria nella storia dei popoli, come momento significativo verso la costruzione di un nuovo futuro.
Con questa seri di concerti, l’Ambasciata del Cile in Italia, desidera proporre un approfondimento dell’opera creativa di Victor Jara – assassinato nel 1973 per i suoi ideali di giustizia sociale – e di Violeta Parra, indimenticata autrice della canzone Gracias a la vida ed entrambi, ormai, patrimonio della musica e della cultura universale.
Parlare di Araukania Kuintet significa riferirsi a un progetto straordinario, registrato negli studi di Pablo Milanés (Cuba) e nato per rendere omaggio le opere dei due artisti entro il quale si sono volute conservare con assoluto amore estetico, le linee melodiche originali orientandole, però, verso il Jazz e la World music.

In the sun

I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you

I know i would apologize if i could see your eyes
'Cause when you showed me myself i became someone else
But i was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can't keep awake

May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you

'Cause if i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
You

I don't know anymore
What it's for
I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
'Cause i been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you're not even sure what it's for
Any more than me

May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you

Joseph Arthur - Come to where I'm from
