La musique de la révolte turque

Il y a des musiques qui servent de toile de fond à de grands événements, et qu'il faut connaître si l'on veut connaître les choses autrement que par les seuls mots. Lili Marleen pendant la seconde guerre mondiale en Europe, "Maria" de Blondie pendant la bombardement de la Yougoslavie par l'OTAN, et... Eyvellah au milieu du printemps turc qui a lieu en ce moment. J'ajoute à cette chanson les paroles en version anglaise. Et un petit documentaire. Tous mes remerciements à Canan.

To your pepper, your gas,

Your batons, your sticks,

To your harsh kicks,

I say bring it on, bring it on

Attack me shamelessly, tirelessly

My eyes are burning but I don't bow, nor do I lessen

I am still free I said

I am still right I said

to you

I am still human I said

Do you think I would give up, tell me

To your pepper, your gas,

Your batons, your sticks,

To your harsh kicks,

I say bring it on, bring it on

Your slap in our face

Your grudge against our voice

Cheers to all of you

Bring it on bring it on

Raise your hand without hesitation and fear

The squares belong to us, don't forget it, this nation is ours

I am still free I said

I am still right I said

to you

I am still human I said

Do you think I would give up, tell me

To your pepper, your gas,

Your batons, your sticks,

To your harsh kicks,

I say bring it on, bring it on

Your slap in our face

Your grudge against our voice

Cheers to all of you

Bring it on bring it on
