umbertino Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 Era of the white wild boar Giusto Pio - violin Full were the hotels in Tunis for summer vacations. At times a thunderstorm didn't let us go out; a man of a certain age often offered me Turkish cigarettes. But I hope that soon will return the Era of the White Wild Boar. Indescribable scents in the evening air, students of Damascus all dressed alike the shadow of my identity while seated at the cinema or in a bar. But I hope that soon will return the Era of the White Wild Boar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 How I love this one....... Winds of Revolution (literally air of R) Stunning ( music & lyrics) From his best album "Sulle Corde Di Aries" ( On the chords of Aries) 1973...To me his masterpiece 1st Italian part translation That truck driver in Abyssinia (Africa) drove his truck until late in the night, and then at deep night they made their meetings At that time in Europe another war was raging, the only songs heard were the alarm sirens. First German part translation However, Müntzer's morning stars shining over the revolting peasants, when they stained with bloodlight the heads of their persecutors. However, the melody of Stalin's flamethrower when it shouted, at Christmas, “Peace on earth” in the frozen ears of Hitler's soldiers. 2nd Italian part translation Time goes by, nothing seems to change, the generation I'm part of craves new values. And I can feel now revolution in the air, I can hear cries of desperations of those going to be shot. 2nd German part translation However, the elegance of automatic missiles in Ho-Chi-Minh's skies when they give an amazing kiss to Detroit engineers' extraordinary mechanic performances. However, the beauty of the machine gun shouldered by the guerilla fighter, when he gives the Bolivian porter suitable arguments against his oppressor, what this finally understands. However, what is best: Policemen trained to fight against the people, when they are drowning in the stream of enraged masses, and finally, finally, instead of their weapons they catch the saving hand of the Unarmed.

umbertino Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 The vid below (taken from movie "Perduto amor" which means lost love...directed by Franco 2003) accompanying the track "Aries" is especially apt for the next track "Sequenze E Frequenze" which I'm adding right below this one with translated lyrics Sequences & frequencies ( very prog) umb's note. To me these lyrics are somehow moving even though simple...He was born in Sicily and lived there up to the end ( traveled a lot esp in the Middle East whose culture fascinated him.....Held a memorable concert in Baghdad around 1990) The teacher in the summer gave us reps in her backyard. I would always sit on a little wall watching the sea. Every now and then a ship would pass. Every now and then a ship would pass. And the winter evenings I would remain locked up at home and just rot away. Outside the thunder noise would shrink my candle. then In the morning, suddenly the crisp weather would bring a soil scent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
