Luyện nghe bài hát Famine Reynolds Extended Mix

(O'Connor, Clayton, Simenon, Reynolds)

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

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

Okay, I want to talk Ireland
Specifically I to talk about the "famine"
About the fact that there really was one
was no "famine"
See Irish people only allowed to eat potatoes
All of the food, meat, fish, vegetables,
were shipped out of the country under armed
To while the Irish people starved
And then in the of all this
They us money not to teach our children Irish
And so we lost our
And is what I think is still hurting me

You see we're like a child that's been
Has to itself out of it's head because it's frightened
Still all the painful feelings
But lose contact with the memory
And this leads to self-destruction
Alcoholism, drug
All attempts at running
And in it's worst
Becomes actual
And if ever is gonna be healing
There has to be
And then
So that then can be forgiving
There has to be and understanding

All the lonely
Where do all come from
All the lonely
Where do all belong

An American army
Says you kill more than ten percent of a nation
'Cos to do so permanent "psychological damage"
It's not but they didn't know that
during the supposed "famine"
We lost a lot than 10% of our nation
Through deaths on land or on ships of
But what finally us is not starvation
No use in the controlling of our education
School go on "Black 47"
On and on about "The famine"
But they don't say is in truth
really never was one

All the people
Where do they all come
All the people
where do all belong

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

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

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

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

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

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

Forgiveness,

Yes
And

Equate, be


Yes
And

(repeat the above times)
