Luyện nghe bài hát Famine Reynolds Extended Mix

(O'Connor, Clayton, Simenon, Reynolds)

[The extended version of "Famine", in 1995, from the cd-single "Famine"]

is more in us than we know about. The famine, which happened 150 years ago.
It three lifetimes at most. Things that happen than handed on from father
to son, from mother to daughter, down to this day. They are us now, and we
don deal with them. And it seems to me, this is what interesting a lot
of Irish music now, that it is the carrier for this kind of feeling, and for
of emotion, that we have no other expression for it because politically we
deny it, intellectually we deny it. Our literature ....... doesn deal this,
our sentiment doesn deal with this. But music, it in the music, it to me.
The culture can actually carry things in al kinds of visible ways, in gesture,
in movement, in language, in and in music.

Okay, I want to talk about
I want to talk about the "famine"
About the fact there never really was one
was no "famine"
See Irish people were allowed to eat potatoes
All of the food, meat, fish, vegetables,
were shipped out of the country under armed
To England while the Irish starved
And then in the of all this
They gave us money not to teach our Irish
And so we lost our
And this is what I think is still me

You see we're like a child that's been
Has to drive itself out of it's head because it's
Still feels all the feelings
But they contact with the memory
And this to massive self-destruction
Alcoholism, addiction
All attempts at running
And in it's worst
actual killing
And if there is gonna be healing
There has to be
And then
So that there then can be
has to be knowledge and understanding

All the people
do they all come from
All the lonely
Where do they all

An American army
Says you mustn't kill more than ten of a nation
'Cos to do so causes "psychological damage"
It's not permanent but they know that
during the supposed "famine"
We lost a lot more than 10% of our
Through deaths on land or on of emigration
But finally broke us is not starvation
No use in the controlling of our education
go on about "Black 47"
On and on about "The famine"
But they don't say is in truth
There really was one

All the people
Where do they all from
All the lonely
where do all belong

So let's take a can we
The highest of child abuse in the EEC
And we say a Christian country
But we've lost contact our history
See we used to worship God as a
suffering from post traumatic stress disorder
Look at all our old men in the
Look at all our young on drugs
We used to God as a mother
Now look at what we're to each other
We've even made killers of
The most child-like people in the Universe
And this is what's with us
Our history books the figures lied to us
I see the
As a like a child
got itself smashed in the face
And if ever is gonna be healing
There has to be
And grieving
So that there then can be
has to be knowledge and understanding

All the people
Where do they all come
All the lonely
Where do all belong
All the people
do they all come from
(That I can you in one word)
All the people
Where do all belong

And if there ever is gonna be
There has to be
And then
So that there can be forgiving
There has to be and understanding

And if there is gonna be healing
has to be remembering
And grieving
So there then can be forgiving
There has to be knowledge and

We stand on the brink of a achievement
In this Ireland is no solution
To be found to our
By shooting each

Because of our tradition everyone knows who he is
and what God him to do

Forgiveness,

Yes
And

Equate, be


Yes
And

(repeat the above times)
