No pós-25 de Abril não os conhecer era analfabetismo. Tocar os LP ou ler os poemas eram horas plenas. Descobrindo vozes de luta contra a injustiça mas também a favor do amor e felicidade.<br /><br />De Jara ainda fico com pele-de-galinha a ouvir "Te Recuerdo Amanda".<br />( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRmre8ggkcY )<br /><br />Tantos tocou que muitos o têm "Presente, Agora e Sempre".<br /><br />Victor Jara<br />words by Adrian Mitchell, music by Arlo Guthrie<br /><br />Victor Jara of Chile<br />Lived like a shooting star<br />He fought for the people of Chile<br />With his songs and his guitar<br />His hands were gentle, his hands were strong<br /><br />Victor Jara was a peasant<br />He worked from a few years old<br />He sat upon his father's plow<br />And watched the earth unfold<br />His hands were gentle, his hands were strong<br /><br />Now when the neighbors had a wedding<br />Or one of their children died<br />His mother sang all night for them<br />With Victor by her side<br />His hands were gentle, his hands were strong<br /><br />He grew up to be a fighter<br />Against the people's wrongs<br />He listened to their grief and joy<br />And turned them into songs<br />His hands were gentle, his hands were strong<br /><br />He sang about the copper miners<br />And those who worked the land<br />He sang about the factory workers<br />And they knew he was their man<br />His hands were gentle, his hands were strong<br /><br />He campaigned for Allende<br />Working night and day<br />He sang "Take hold of your brothers hand<br />You know the future begins today"<br />His hands were gentle, his hands were strong<br /><br />Then the generals seized Chile<br />They arrested Victor then<br />They caged him in a stadium<br />With five-thousand frightened men<br />His hands were gentle, his hands were strong<br /><br />Victor stood in the stadium<br />His voice was brave and strong<br />And he sang for his fellow prisoners<br />Till the guards cut short his song<br />His hands were gentle, his hands were strong<br /><br />They broke the bones in both his hands<br />They beat him on the head<br />They tore him with electric shocks<br />And then they shot him dead<br />His hands were gentle, his hands were strong<br /><br />Repeat first verse<br /><br />©1977, 1990 by by Adrian Mitchell & Arlo Guthrie<br />All Rights Reserved.Pedro Godinhonoreply@blogger.com
