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 than we about. The famine, which happened 150 years ago.
It lifetimes at most. Things that happen than were 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
kind of emotion, that we have no expression for it because politically we
it, intellectually we deny it. Our literature ....... doesn deal with this,
our doesn deal with this. But music, it in the music, it seems to me.
The culture can actually those things in al kinds of visible ways, in gesture,
in movement, in language, in and in music.

Okay, I want to talk Ireland
I want to talk about the "famine"
About the fact there never really was one
was no "famine"
See Irish people were only allowed to eat
All of the food, meat, fish, vegetables,
were shipped out of the country under guard
To England the Irish people starved
And then in the middle of all
They gave us money not to our children Irish
And so we our history
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 it's frightened
Still feels all the feelings
But they contact with the memory
And leads to massive self-destruction
Alcoholism, drug
All attempts at running
And in worst form
actual killing
And if there ever is gonna be
has to be remembering
And grieving
So there then can be forgiving
There has to be and understanding

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

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

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

So let's take a can we
The statistics of child abuse in the EEC
And we say a Christian country
But lost contact with our history
See we used to God as a mother
suffering from post traumatic stress disorder
Look at all our old men in the
Look at all our young on drugs
We to worship God as a mother
Now look at what doing to each other
We've even made of ourselves
The most child-like trusting in the Universe
And this is what's wrong us
Our history books the figures lied to us
I see the
As a race a child
That got smashed in the face
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
do they all come from
All the lonely
Where do all belong
All the people
Where do all come from
(That I can you in one word)
All the lonely
Where do all belong

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

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

We stand on the brink of a great
In Ireland there is no solution
To be found to our
By shooting other

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

Forgiveness,

Yes
And

Equate, be


Yes
And

(repeat the several times)
