Lluis Llach - La gallineta

Well, I'm sure you'll like it! Its a good metaphora of the working class life!



"La gallineta ha dit que prou,
ja no vull pondre cap més ou,
a fer punyetes aquest sou
que fa tants anys que m'esclavitza.

I si em vénen ganes de fer-ne
em faré venir un restrenyiment
ja no tindrà cap més ou calent
el que de mi se n'aprofita.

La gallina ha dit que no:
Visca la revolució!

A canvi d'algun gra de blat
m'heu tret la força de volar,
però, us ho juro, s'ha acabat!
Tinc per davant tota una vida.

I no pateixo pel destí,
que un cop lliurada del botxí
no ha d'haver-hi cap perill
perquè m'entengui amb les veïnes.

I els galls que amb mi hauran de dormir
els triaré sans i valents,
que n'estic farta d'impotents
que em fan passar nits avorrides.

Que quedi clar per sempre més,
que jo de verge no en tinc res,
i ue, posats a fer, no em ve
d'un segon restrenyiment.
Jo hi sóc només si tu vols ser-hi,
no tinc cap altra veritat,
ni enganys ni misteri,
si tu hi vas, també hi vaig
no tinc país
sense tu,
tampoc tinc demà...
així doncs per sempre
matinc el repte,
només si hi vas jo hi vaig

Jo hi sóc si també vols ser-hi
tan sols per fer un camí junts,
pel goig de seguir les petjades
que ens han dut molt lluny.
Pel plaer d'un demà que engresqui
perquè ens hi troem a gust,
refent l'art de viure
poder conviure
el somni d'un món més just."
--------------------------------

"La poulettea dit qu'elle en avant assez!
elle ne veut plus pondre un seul oeuf
au diable cet argent.
Dont je suis esclave depuis longtemps.

Si j'avais envie d'en faire un
je m'arrengerais pour être constipée
pour elui qui m'exploite.

La poule a dit non:
vive la révolution!

En échange de quelques grains de blé
vous m'avez ôté la force de voler
mais je vous jure c'est fini
j'ai devant moi toute une vie
et je ne crains plus l'avenir,
car une fois déliverée du borreau
il n'y aura plus aucune difficulté,
pour que je m'entende avec me voisines!

La poule a dit non:
vive la révolution!

Et les cops qui avec oi devoront dormir
je les choisirai sains et vaillants
je n'ai assez des impuissants
qui me font passer les nuits mornes.
Qu'il soit bien entendu, une fois pour toutes,
que je ne suis plus de tout vierge
er que tout compte fait
je n'en suis plus à une "constipation" près..."

Lève-toi!!!

MY WIFE!!!

I recognize your style with this post...my god (which one???), I miss our conversations in the kitchen sooo much...I hope very soon we'll be able to speak in flesh and for a long time...

I didn't hear about this news...You know what i think about the sacro-saint French obcession to kill any cultural particularities, with the excuse it would challenge the best culture of the world (it's not said directly, but it's what it means...)

Our societies are sick: despite the different stories of our countries -Spanish & Italian trauma due to fascism- (we French show off, pretending we escaped it; Pétain? who is he? that's why we decided to vote a micro-fascist, and when i say micro, i'm alluding at the midget height of the French president not the size of his ideas)

We all have crap representants who represent nobody except themselves and their interests, whose jobs consists in finding black sheeps (globalization, US, terrorist, welfare cheaters, unemployed, immigrant etc..) and accuse them to be responsible for any "mal" from which the society suffers...and we dare mocking the "evil" rethoric of Bush!!!
At the same time, they try to make us feel guilty and ask us to work more and make more sacrifice, all this justified by our deep christian legacy...

You call for another 68 may...i call Giovanni to read a bit more about social movements and see the differences between the "summer of love" of our American friendsand what happened in France at that time...Despite all we can reproach to these movements, it's symbolical power is huge, showing we are not all lobotomised...

I'll add only one thing :

"Si estriem tots, ella caurà
I molt de temps no pot durar
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba!
Ben corcada deu ser ja.

Si tu l'estires fort per aqui
I jo l'estiro for per allà,
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
I ens podrem alliberar"

I miss you !!!!

Mél

I am fine, u?

The 1968 May

Today I've heard a new from the french parliament. It was about the linguistic point in france where a "diputat" have said some words in catalan, something like "the catalan in france is in danger and we have to promot it, because to learn this lenguage in the catalan part of France doesn't means french will be in danger". The problem was that the president of the parliament doesn't let him to speak in catalan because he wasn't able to uderstand him (well, that's qute normal, isn't it?)
Well, it's quite funny, I think, because I'm sure is not a new in France!
You know, since I'm in catalonia again I have started to think that this countri, despite of Zapatero, is quite crazy...there are one 28 years old boy in prision because he tried to burn a spanish flag (it's not a joke, he will be in prision for two years) and we have our personal terrorism. But, who cares?? In the street people only speak about the economical crisis but every spanish person goes shopping almost every month. We pay around 700 hundred euros for a 30 metres square flat. And of course we only eat potates...(I've heard a girl who could only spend 3 euros per day because she was paying her flat...)
So, thats the Zapatero's plurinational and rich country, even if i think that in Italy is worst (Berlusconi i la Lega, thats a team!!)

Well, I just want to say, and is just for what i'm going to say that this blog is specially for Mél, that we have to make another 68 May! So, arriba las hachas i Vive Simon, cause i hope french people can make a revolution for us and, of course, I'll join them!
