Visto, Riccardo? Bastava non aver furia...
Qualche giorno fa ho scoperto questa pagina che tra le canzoni in lingua ceca mi era sfuggita, e subito accolgo il tuo appello dell'ormai lontano 2008. Fra pochi giorni c'è l'anniversario della morte di Jan Palach, quindi siamo anche in tema.
Spero di esser riuscita a rendere un po' l'idea di questo testo che non è dei più semplici, pieno di costruzioni poetiche e con qualche gioco di parole. Insomma, almeno ci ho provato, assumendo il rischio delle possibili critiche “nicoletiane” in quanto anch'io traduco in una lingua che non è la mia... :)

1968: Primavera di Praga
Sono i tempi della contestazione, della strage di Piazza Fontana con l’avvio della “strategia della tensione”, dell'”autunno caldo” del 1969, del tentativo di golpe fascista da parte del repubblichino Junio Valerio Borghese (8 dicembre 1970). Inutile ricordare quello che sta accadendo nel mondo, dalla guerra nel Vietnam in pieno svolgimento al Maggio Francese. Truppe del […]

Citizen Ship

Citizen Ship
‎[1979]‎
Album “Wave”‎
Scritta da Patti Smith e dal bassista Ivan Kral, rifugiato cecoslovacco negli Stati Uniti in seguito all'invasione sovietica.
Testo corretto da Patti Smith Collected Lyrics

Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth - genesis 4:14

dedicated to ivan kral born in prague, czechoslovakia
nationality: stateless


“‘Citizen Ship’ is just a song talking about what it was like in 1968, when Ivan Kral escaped from Czechoslovakia to America and Patti Smith escaped from New Jersey to New York City. It’s when I met Robert Mapplethorpe ― I mean, it doesn’t matter what it’s about. We all have personal things from 1968, certain impressions ― at least some of us do… It’s just a reflection.
Patti Smith
It was nothing. It didn't matter to me

The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime)

The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime)
[1969]
Album "Scott 4"

"Scott Walker’s passionate leftist political beliefs had been no secret by the time “The Old Man’s Back Again” was written and recorded, but the event which prompted one of his most pointed songs found him tackling not a right-wing dictatorship (as he later would with “The Electrician”) but a left-wing one. The subtitle – “Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime”) specifically refers to the repressive Czech government that overthrew the Prague Spring era in 1968 with Soviet military help, the ‘old man’ himself being the ghost of Stalin returned to a horrific new life. “The Old Man’s Back Again” found Walker blending a symbolic lyric of destruction and death with a striking combination of rumbling, prominent funk bass and a post- Ennio Morricone western-orchestral arrangement, stabbing strings courtesy Peter Knight and mournful, almost Russian chorale-tinged wordless...
