ennio morricone/joan baez - The ballad of Sacco and Vanzetti part 2

.

(Lyrics by Joan Baez, Music by Ennio Morricone)

Father, yes, I am a prisoner
Fear not to relay my crime
The crime is loving the forsaken
Only silence is shame

And now I'll tell you what's against us
An art that's lived for centuries
Go through the years and you will find
What's blackened all of history
Against us is the law
With its immensity of strength and power
Against us is the law!
Police know how to make a man
A guilty or an innocent
Against us is the power of police!
The shameless lies that men have told
Will ever more be paid in gold
Against us is the power of the gold!
Against us is racial hatred
And the simple fact that we are poor

My father dear, I am a prisoner
Don't be ashamed to tell my crime
The crime of love and brotherhood
And only silence is shame

With me I have my love, my innocence,
The workers, and the poor
For all of this I'm safe and strong
And hope is mine
Rebellion, revolution don't need dollars
They need this instead
Imagination, suffering, light and love
And care for every human being
You never steal, you never kill
You are a part of hope and life
The revolution goes from man to man
And heart to heart
And I sense when I look at the stars
That we are children of life
Death is small

In memoriam

Here's To You (Ennio Morricone & Joan Baez)

Here's to you, Nicola and Bart
Rest forever here in our hearts
The last and final moment is yours
That agony is your triumph

Sacco, Nicola (1891-1927)

"If it had not been for these things I might have lived out my life talking at streetcorners to scorning men. I might have died unmarked unknown a failure. Now we are not a failure, this is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life could we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as now we do by accident. Our words-our lives- our pains nothing! The taking of our lives -lives of a good shoemaker and a poopish pedler all that Last moment belongs to us. That agony is our triumph"

Viva l'anarchia!"

"Farewell, mia madre."

Bartolomeo Vanzetti (1888-1927)

"I wish to forgive some people for what they are now doing to me."

Nicola Sacco (Torremaggiore, 22 de abril de 1891 — Charlestown, 23 de agosto 1927) e Bartolomeo Vanzetti (Villafalletto, 11 de junho de 1888 — Charlestown, 23 de agosto 1927) foram dois anarquistas italianos que foram presos, processados, julgados e condenados nos Estados Unidos da América nos anos vinte, sob a acusação de homicídio de um contador e de um guarda de uma fábrica de sapatos. Sobre sua culpa houve muitas dúvidas já à época dos acontecimentos.

Não foram absolvidos nem mesmo depois que um outro homem admitiu em 1925 a autoria dos crimes. Foram condenados à pena capital e executados por eletrocução em 23 de agosto de 1927.

Há uma citação sobre ambos no poema "América" de Allen Ginsberg e no texto sobre o Surrealismo de Walter Benjamin.
