about [1β. La versione turca del gruppo musicale Kutup Yıldızı ("Stella Polare")]
This song is in Azerbaijani, not Turkish...
please fix it (￣∇￣)

Boreč 2022/4/30 - 05:27

Good morning dear Boreč. I'm sorry, but Kutup Yıldızı is a music group from Turkey and they sing and write in good Turkey Turkish. I really don't know who told you that the song is in "Azerbaijani". Btw, Azerbaijani (or Azeri) is a Turkic language quite similar to Turkey Turkish. It can be easily recognized from the use of special letters ("q", "ə"...) which are not used in the Turkey Turkish spelling. See you!

Riccardo Venturi 2022/4/30 - 06:45

Good afternoon, Ricardo :)
Yes, I too thought the song was sung in Turkish from the tlyrics, but when I played it to Azerbaijanis and Russians, they replied that it was in Azerbaijani, not Turkish.
They said it has a Turkish accent, but it's in Azerbaijani.
And [DonQuijote82 - 2011/10/15 - 14:41] is same in Azerbaijani…
I’m not familiar with the Azerbaijani language and don’t know where this lyrics came from, but perhaps they were written to Turkish orthography...

Boreč 2022/4/30 - 12:55

Good evening, most beloved Boreč!

My knowledge of the (Turkey) Turkish language is not that deep, but I can tell when the lyrics of a song match what is really sung. Well, I've listened well to the song and I can tell you that it is sung in Turkey Turkish and singing matches perfectly the written lyrics. Of course, there might be some kind of “northern” accent, i.e closer to Azerbaijani, and I repeat that Turkey Turkish and Azerbaijani are very similar; but the song is sung and written in Turkey Turkish. Anyway, you can't simply transpose anything written in Turkey Turkish or Azerbaijani into each other, these languages are very close but aren't the same language you can indifferently write with different spelling systems (as in Serbian).

As for Azerbaijanis, like many other people from that linguistic area, they tend to label anything uttered in a Turkic language as a form of Azerbaijani.... (Continues)

1j1. Warushawa-Rōdōka: the Japanese Warszawianka by Kaji Wataru [鹿地亘, 1927] completed by Boreč [2022]

The Japanese version of "Warszawianka 1905 roku" was first written in 1927 by the novelist Kaji Wataru (鹿地亘). His translation is a brave piece of work with a military flavour, and has been sung by many leftists to this day. Unfortunately, only the first verse has been written in Japan, so today I have tried to write singable lyrics for the second and third verses, based on the lyrics of the Krzhizhanovsky and Georgian versions, thus I contribute here in the hope that this thread and anti-war songs will continue to grow.

Dear Boreč,

Thanks for sharing with us your complete Japanese version of the Warszawianka 1905 roku written 1927 by Wataru Shikaji. To say the truth, the “one verse plus refrain” version from 1927 was already included in this page, but I didn't know anything at all about the author. So, I have reshaped the whole section accordingly. In addition to this, I really didn't know you are from Japan and a native Japanese speaker (this I learned from your Lyricstranslate profile). So, I ask you for a service: do you have further biographical info on Wataru Shikaji and, possibly, a portrait? And could you please provide an English translation of your complete Japanese version? This would be really great. Thank you, arigato!

Boreč 2022/5/18 - 09:39

Dear Boreč,

Thank you again! You don't need to write Kaji Wataru's bio: there's plenty of information on Wikipedia and other sources. I was misled by "Shikaji" (btw, I have "de-Shied" his name throughout).

Dear Boreč,

As you can see, I have integrated your Rōmaji transcription and English translation into the relevant page section. Thank you for your effort, which your translation helps appreciate in its fullness. As for Kaji Wataru's image, I have reproduced it for other sources. Sadly enough, it is quite complicated for us to implement images into our site from imgur and/or other image tools.

Just one last question: what does rōdōka exactly mean in Japanese?

Riccardo Venturi 2022/5/18 - 16:59

Thanks for editing article :)
Well, /Rōdōka/ means «workers' song» in Japanese.
So, when translate it into English, /Warushawa-Rōdōka/ means «Warsaw workers’ song». (￣∇￣)

1φ. Versione yakuta (o Sakha) di A. F. Boyarov
1φ. Yakut (Sakha) version by A. F. Boyarov

Info about Yakut: Yakut language, also known as Yakutian, Sakha, Saqa or Saxa (Yakut: саха тыла), is a Turkic language with around 450,000 native speakers spoken in Sakha (Yakutia), a federal republic in the Russian Federation, by the Yakuts. The Yakut language differs from all other Turkic languages in the presence of a layer of vocabulary of unclear origin (possibly Paleo-Siberian). There are also a large number of words of Mongolian origin related to ancient borrowings, as well as numerous recent borrowings from Russian. Like other Turkic languages and their ancestor Proto-Turkic, Yakut is an agglutinative language and employs vowel harmony.

I found a very rare language Warszawianka...assume it was probably translated during the Russian Revolution.
There maybe many more warszawianka in Russia… [Boreč]

Kashubian or Cassubian (Kashubian: kaszëbsczi jãzëk, Polish: język kaszubski) is a West Slavic language belonging to the Lechitic subgroup along with Polish and Silesian lect. Although often classified as a language in its own right, it is sometimes viewed as a dialect of Pomeranian or as a dialect of Polish. This singable and poetic text was posted on Lyricstranslate. I wouldn't be surprised if the song is sung in Polish dialects, or rather the song could be translated in various dialects as well. [Boreč]

Il testo (il cui autore rimane sconosciuto) è stato pubblicato nel 1976 sulla rivista ufficiale del Partito Turco del Lavoro (Türkiye İşçi Partisi) ; la Warszawianka ha qui il titolo di "Haydi yoldaşlar" (“Avanti, Compagni di strada”, o semplicemente “Compagni”) o di "Varşovienka" nella Turchia continentale. Dopo aver tradotto i testi (in giapponese), ho sentito che i testi sembrano essere leggermente influenzati dalla classica versione francese di Stefan Priacel risalente a ca. il 1930.

The text of the Slovenian version was written in 1943 by the Slovenian poet Mile Klopčič. He was active as a communist after joining the Yugoslav Communist Party in 1920, took part in the Yugoslav partisan movement during World War II and was appointed chairman of the Cultural Committee of the Slovenian Liberation Council (SNOS), and after the war he spent his entire life as a translator and poet. The Slovenian version of "Warszawianka" was written during the war as one for partisan struggle songs, which is why the translation of this text is slightly different compared to translations in other languages.

After a long journey I was finally able to reveal the entire Armenian version of Варшавянка (Վարշավեանկա).　This Armenian chant is now revived here after 100 years. The Armenian lyrics were written in 1902 by Hakob Hakobyan (Հակոբ Հակոբյան), the father of the Armenian proletarian literature. He wrote a number of anti-Tsarist lyrics at the same time, including revolutionary songs such as "La Marseillaise" and "L'Internationale".

Hakob Hakobyan was born in Gandzak in 1866, in the family of a craftsman. He studied for a year in the village with a woman named Tsovi Aghi and then entered a parish school. Hakobyan's father wanted to make the boy a priest or a craftsman, but his mother managed to send his son to a gymnasium. Since the Armenian language and literature were forbidden... (Continues)

Penso che pochissimi albanesi che vivono oggi lo sappiano. Come sempre, contribuisco qui per l'ulteriore sviluppo di AWS (CCG). Di seguito è riportata la prefazione di Baki Kongoli, l'editore di questo canzoniere. Scritto nel 1958. [Boreč]"

1γ2. La Varsoviana: Versione spagnola alternativa dal Cancionero Revolucionario de las Comisiones Obreras de Andalucía
1γ2. La Varsoviana: Alternative Spanish version from Cancionero Revolucionario de las Comisiones Obreras de Andalucía

“La maggior parte delle persone probabilmente immagina A las barricadas come la versione spagnola del testo della 'Varshavyanka', ma esisteva un altro testo nascosto in spagnolo: "La Varsoviana". Questo testo proviene dal "Cancionero revolucionario", una raccolta di canzoni provenienti dagli archivi del CCOO (Comitato operaio spagnolo, Andalusia). Questa raccolta conteneva un'ampia gamma di canzoni rivoluzionarie e di resistenza in lingua spagnola, dalla Spagna al Sud America. Mentre "A las barricadas" è un inno fondamentalmente anarchico, questo può essere descritto come un inno per comunisti e socialisti.” [Boreč]

Sento che gli articoli sull’Internazionale, Bella Ciao e questa canzone hanno raggiunto il livello di preziosi archivi storici oltre al loro ruolo di introduzioni alle canzoni contro la guerra. Ora, ecco una preziosa traduzione della Warszawianka in una lingua davvero unica, che onestamente non mi sarei mai aspettato fosse così diffusa. Il Caraciai-Balcaro è una delle lingue turche del Caucaso settentrionale, parlata dai Caraciai e Balcari che vivono nella Repubblica di Karačaj-Circassia e nella Repubblica di Cabardino-Balcaria. Una parente stretta è la lingua kumuk in Daghestan. Il caraciai-balcaro (detto къарачай-малкъар тил /qaraçay-malqar til/ o таулу тил /tawlu til/ “lingua di montagna”)... (Continues)

1ה. Versione in lingua Buriata [1955]
1ה. A version in the Buryat language [1955]

Another rare Warszawianka we've encountered, yes, we've finally identified the existence of Buryat lyrics.
Buryat is a Mongolian language spoken in the Republic of Buryat and other countries. Although it is often considered an independent language, some recognize it as one of the Mongolian dialects, along with the Khalkha dialect (Standard Mongolian) spoken in Mongolia, the Chakhar dialect spoken in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and the Oirat dialect (Oirat language) spoken in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The lyrics appeared in Vol.299 of the Buryat proletarian newspaper 'Буряад-Монголой үнэн' (Buryat version of "Правда").
Apart from the Kalmyk version of "Өндр улан" (a derivative song Warszawianka), the discovery of this Buryat canonical lyrics is probably the first in the world... (Continues)

1ו. वर्षाव्यंका (The Warszawianka in Hindi, written by Spalvera, 2023)

Warszawianka (वर्षाव्यंका) in Hindi, written personally in 2023 by Spalvera, a Hindi and Punjabi translator. The refrain part is a homage from "A las barrricadas", and he wrote independent lyrics (with an international flavour criticising imperialism). In India, many revolutionary songs have been sung to this day, including The Internationale, but there is still no confirmed record of Warszawianka sung in Hindi. However, there is a record of an English version of Warszawianka (Whirlwinds of Danger) performed by the Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA) in West Bengal in the past.
So, without a doubt, "Warszawianka" had spread on the Indian land, and it can't be denied that someone among the past communists might have translated into various Indian... (Continues)

Dear Riccardo!
Don't be sorry, and big thank you for checking my very very lengthy text every time! My articles are not that important compared to other 'anti-war songs'.
Besides, your physical condition (eyesight, etc...) is much more important! I feel that AWS is very valuable, so I keep contributing to help in any way I can...
Oof...I tend to write articles on specific songs, mainly Warszawianka, Hymn WFDY, Hymn IUS, L'internationale...
Of course, I'm also interested in articles about other songs!
Please keep up with us, there's no hurry to edit pages... And good health to you! :)

1μ2. Varşovianca - La versione romena di Lucian Minel Rădan
1μ2. Varşovianca - Lucian Minel Rădan’s Romanian Version

Although references to the Romanian version of Warszawianka existed in literature from various countries, including Azerbaijan, Russia and Hungary, for a long time we were unable to find its lyrics. Today, however, we have finally succeeded in revealing the full lyrics of the Romanian version.
The Romanian version of Warszawianka is spelt Varșovianca and the lyrics were written by the poet Lucian Minel Rădan (1925-1956) from Giurgiu County, Muntenea, Romania. (The date the text was written is unknown). For a long time the song was not sung publicly in Romania, but in 1967, on the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution, the Romanian folk orchestra Ciocîrlia and the choir Perinița finally performed this hymn, loved by Lenin, in Romania. As with the other language versions,... (Continues)

Tutto parte da una Graphic Novel che Francesco Pelosi ha sceneggiato, con i disegni di Rise, in occasione di un altro centenario: quello della rivolta dell'Oltretorrente, a Parma, nei primi giorni d'agosto del medesimo 1922. Una rivolta antifascista ancora prima che il fascismo prendesse il potere, diecimila camicie nere guidate da Italo Balbo respinte dai proletari dell'Oltretorrente, del Naviglio e di Saffi e fatti sloggiare dalla città ducale: Balbo, t'è pasè l'Atlantic, mo...

Francesco Pelosi est de retour, lui qui, à vrai dire, était dernièrement un dessinateur de bandes dessinées ; mais la bande dessinée, la chanson et le théâtre se confondent, ou se fondent, dans sa remarquable initiative en cette morne année 2022 qui marque, comme vous le savez, le centenaire de la prise du pouvoir par le fascisme en Italie. Tout part d’un roman graphique que Francesco Pelosi a écrit, avec des dessins de Rise, à l’occasion d’un autre centenaire : celui de la révolte d'Oltretorrente, à Parme, dans les premiers jours d’août de la même année 1922. Une révolte antifasciste avant même que le fascisme ne prenne le pouvoir, dix mille chemises noires menées par Italo Balbo repoussées par les prolétaires d’Oltretorrente, Naviglio et Saffi et chassées...

Inno della rivolta, o Inno del Molinari

Luigi Molinari

Inno della rivolta, <i>o</i> Inno del Molinari

Scrive Rocco Rosignoli:

Nel suo nuovo cd Guccini pubblica tante canzoni popolari e di matrice politica che hanno influenzato il suo modo di scrivere. In particolare una canzone, che lui chiama “Nel fosco fin dal secolo morente”, è la “mamma” de La Locomotiva. Guccini sostiene di non essere mai riuscito a scoprire da dove arrivasse questa canzone. L’enigma in realtà è di facile soluzione, basterebbe una ricerca online, su Canzoni Contro la Guerra o Il Deposito, ma forse anche solo su Wikipedia, la canzone è famosissima.

Ma anche sul cartaceo la storia della canzone è ben documentata: basta questo bel libro di Vettori di canzoni di protesta, un classicone degli anni ‘70, per scoprire che il testo ha un autore preciso, Luigi Molinari, e che il suo vero titolo è “Inno della rivolta”.

Non dico che fosse tenuto a saperlo… ma magari qualcuno non poteva cercargliele su Google queste info?

In realtà qualcuno deve averglielo fatto notare perché in questo video (a 16:54) riporta correttamente titolo e autore

2022/11/27 - 18:08

Aggiungo solo un parere personale: purtroppo l'età si fa notare e la voce di un ottantaduenne non può essere certo quella di una volta, ma l'arrangiamento balcanico dell'Inno della Rivolta nell'ultimo disco del Guccio è assolutamente godibile.
