Matilde Politi

ONLY HERE IS AVALIABLE THE ALBUM "CANTATA NO MUOS" in the traditional CANTASTORIE SICILIANO style
  
the story of the NO MUOS movement in Niscemi, Sicily live in Palermo - 2013 Matilde Politi: voice and guitar ORDER NOW

1 . S
icily, our land, beloved mother
since this world was created

you've seen many men greedy and robbers

steal your wealth in every place

and we children of this beloved mother earth

over the centuries we have fought with our heart

to protect the common good

always ill-treated like a dog

2 . And you've been a slave to the rich and powerful people

while the poor always cries,

between hunger, hardship and harassment

does not lose courage and sharpens spears.

We fought together against the evil

this teaches us the story , and who mystifies it

wanting us to believe that we are sheep

knows that we are lions !

3 . Our history is written in blood

of those who fought with courage and intelligence,

that rush never bent to the full ( of the river)

and always repudiated tyranny.

So they' ve inflicted us these chains

from which the Sicilians can not get rid of :

mafia, the church, and the governments of thieves

under the protection of the Americans

        And here we are at the point gentlemen : let's see what happened in '43

4 .they landed in Sicily and immediately

made pacts with fascists and bandits

to keep the people in poverty

while entertained and instructed villains

At that time they planned a plan

to keep Italy in their service

to stop communism approaching

and at that point the war became a vice.

5 . A vice that almost looks like a game :

everywhere they won a war

filled with military bases that place

Korea, Japan , Germany, Italy or Greece.

All the World in this way they clinch !

And here , in the middle of the Mediterranean

for each war that they want to do on this side

from here in Sicily they can control it

6 . Thus , won the war , they created

the Sigonella base that controls

Air Force and Navy ,

full of nuclear warheads.

Also seized in 1981 of Comiso

And there the movement is still crying ...

no one could oppose to the cruise missils

until the Cold War abated .

7. And there in '1991 they closed the base

because they had to change strategy

and in '1991 they began to sow

our disease in Niscemi:

they called it NRTF,

160 acres to be proud of,

raping the natural reserve of cork trees (Sughereta)

they inaugurated the new secret strategy

8. The Sughereta at the side of Niscemi

has an oak three hundred years old

the whole of Europe does not have an equal

around the world his fame resounds.

But the war does not respect any good:

life is not only that one of humans!

They raped that natural reserve

of trees, plants, flowers and even animals

9.Not even mice can enter into it

as it is fenced all around,

if you want to know what they do in it

you can read the newspapers everyday:

there you will find nonsense, to show

they respect us and keep us in view!

But the biggest secret military

is that they treat us as guinea pigs and human shields!

10. And for twenty years the people of Niscemi did not notice

this project bringer of death and wretched

and in the meanwhile, the Americans brought it to completion

thereby controlling the whole world.

But when, not content, they experimented

to build also the MUOS, then the people

gradually awoke

and began to demand clarification

11. Scientists immediately responded:

"Do not worry because there is no risk

after thirty years the technology

is progressing in a formidable way!

This MUOS is an interstellar microwave

three parables, shield satellite

we have the other three, and with this fourth

we can close the matter and burn practice! "

12. But thank God scientists

are'nt all sold to the powerful.

Zucchetti and Corallo clearly

explained the risks to people:

for the health, because you are under

the radiation continuously,

not to mention if an accident occurs

and the damage to the surroundings! "

13 . At this point people began

to stand on their toes , and from this a chatter was born

that nothing was able to stop

and a movement was born NO MUOS :

the experience of the old militants

was helpfull to the young people

who thought well to form a citizen committee

and then to create a regional coordination

14. "We are like grilled artichokes

as there are many antennas that we have on the head

which are used to send commands

to sow war everywhere :

the antennas are more than forty

martyrs of the earth crowned with thorns !

The tears that she cries create a sea

of waves that are not to swim ..."

15 ."These infamous bad waves that burn us

are called electromagnetic

and are made of frequencies that drill

and induce cell necrosis ....

The lowest for the submarines !

rising uo to the highest !

To control the military actions

of those who never wants to stop the war"

16 . The people of Niscemi has no peace

young , elderly, mothers

" Fellow citizens ! The information is false !

The Americans are masters of deception !

Permanent garrison ! And who does not like it

over time had learned to respect that family

which has been shielding with his own body

every morning at sunrise in that plateau

17.Contrada Ulmo, in a private land,

that runs along the road Fonte Apa

the only asphalted pass to the base,

there the garrison is made, the road is now blocked .

Day and night who passes there is hampered

by the people who gathered there

in a shack and a fire to warm

that they keep turned on with difficulty, to fight

18. And the smoke coming out of the wet wood

in this unforgiving winter

disturbs the too kind noses

of those who try to buy those who fights :

politicians who want to grab votes

superintendent, commissioner and the police,

but these lions are not tame;

" With the smoke in the nose there you have to go ! "

19 . As a signal that smoke rises into the sky

as if they were Indian with bow and arrow

recalls to fight all Sicily

each town creates a committee :

Caltagirone , Piazza Armerina

The movement is growing like bread

then awoke also Gela

after Palermo , Trapani and Marsala

20 . Now , gentlemen, I want to tell you about

another part of the movement,

that made everybody fall in love with

and that reinforced us with the decision

not to let anyone go through

not even the military for the change ,

every morning at the gate one,

the women didn't bow their knees to no one !

21. The females I say, women from Niscemi

who are neither teachers nor doctors

they are mothers, each one of them has

children, grandchildren and elderly people to look after.

But every family has a tragedy,

somebody who is sick with cancer ,

fighting some disease

that it consumes his life gradually

22. But all diseases , gentlemen,

are not reserved for the elderly

which would be the natural fate

that all creatures have to go back to the Creator ;

these evils are for everyone, and worst pains

are when they are to be suffered from the children

if a child is born already disadvantaged

the natural order is subverted

 

23. In this case also the Lord rebels

Nature is prepared to not fail

but mankind, who invents to make the war ,

subverts the laws , believing himself powerful .

But the mother with courage clenches his fists

to protect the health of her children.

All mothers have created a committee

NO MUOS! NO ANTENNE! It is state abuse!

24 . If we are all united in front of these gates

we' ll block everything, even a tank

but we have to be careful , because the powerful people

can devise a thousand pitfalls from all sides.

Politicians and mobsters are brothers

Americans have invented everything

we have been slaves for seventy years

of this project that has no decency.

25 . From the heart of Sicily, to broaden ,

we are already more than forty committees

from Catania to Ragusa to the sea

more furious than before:

" We are no longer willing to delegate

to this politicians with their pot-bellies,

they sign treaties bringing wars,

instead of bringing peace and wealth for this hearth"

26. But now , my friends, I say this,

if each committee took

an antenna, like an army of hunts

bit by bit they would dismantel it !

And that desert freed , I say

again would dress itself of trees and flowers !

We'll leave this legacy to our children

to live in freedom!

27. And this was the example that Turi (Vaccaro) gave

us when he entered into the base

Nicola as well with Simona and Desi

while you hear: "Is a cuckold who does not enter ! "

They climb the antennas and there was the flag suspended

at the wind for ten hours

With this great test of courage

the determination grows and advances

28. The gates of the military base U.S. Navy

do not open more, no one has to go inside

because here, this time,

you won't y make us slaves again!

We have to stop the works for the MUOS

and also throw down all the antennas !

Our life is a more important thing of

all your money and arms !

29. Sicily is to demilitarize

Italy get on his feet again

in front of the Americans to change

the eternal slavery sealed by a pact .

Free and at peace we can start

to build a new world that see

women and men all together as a family

that does a lot for the common good

30 . And all united with one voice

let's scream that Sicily wants PEACE!

The infamous government leads us

to a road that no one likes .

But if the people are sovereign

our voice will defeat the abuse ,

and like brace under the Americans asses

We are thousands of Sicilians NO MUOS!


    1.  Sicilia, nostra terra amata matri

di lu tempu ca stu munnu fu criatu

nni viristi assai manciuna e latri

arrubbari 'i to' ricchizzi d'ogni latu

e nui figghi di sta terra amata matri

nta li seculi cu cori amu luttatu

pi prutiggiri lu beni comuni

vastuniatu sempri com'un cani

  1. E schiava fusti di ricchi e putenti

mentri lu puvireddu sempri chianci

ntra fame angherie soprusi e stenti

'un perdi lu curaggiu e ammola lanci

'Nsemmula luttammu a li fitenti

la storia nni lu dici, e cu la canci

pri dirinni ca semu picuruna

sapi bonu ca niatri semu liuna!

  1. La storia nostra è scritta cu lu sangu

di cu ha luttatu cu curaggio e 'ncegnu,

sutta la china 'un si calau ddu juncu

e contra la tirannia sempri appi sdegnu

Pi chistu nn'annu misu sti cuddari

ca i siciliani 'un si ponnu allibbirari:

mafia, chiesa, guverni di latruni

sutta lu mantu di l'amiricani

  1. Sbarcaru cca 'n Sicilia e prontamenti

s'appattaru cu fascisti e cu briganti

pri mantiniri u populu a li stenti

nta mentri chi pascevano furfanti

Ddocu 'ntisseru tuttu lu progettu

pi mantiniri a 'Talia 'u so' sirviziu

pi firmari u comunismu dirimpettu

e ddocu a guerra addivintau nu viziu

  1. Nu viziu ca pari macari jocu:

a tutti banni unni vinceru a guerra

inchieru 'i basi militari u locu

Korea, Giappone, Germania, Italia o Grecia

Tuttu u munnu accussì strincinu 'mpugnu!

E ccà, nno menzo du Mediterraneo

p'ogni guerra c'a sta banna vonnu fari

di cca 'n Sicilia a ponnu controllari

  1. Accussì, vinciuta a guerra, fu criata

a base Sigonella ca controlla

aviazione e marina corazzata

di testate nucleari rimpinzata

Puru Comisu pigghiaru all'81

e ddocu u movimentu ancora chianci...

supra li cruiss nuddu vacillau

'nsinu a quannu a guerra fredda 'un terminau

  1. E ddocu nnu 91 'a smantellaru

picchì avianu a canciari strategia

e u 91 a Niscemi ncuminzaru

a seminari la nostra malatia:

ennerrettieffe la chiamaru

centusissanta ettari 'i valìa

stuprando la riserva Suvareta

signaru a nova strategia segreta

  1. La Suvareta a cantu di Niscemi

'avi na quercia di tricentu anni

uguali tutt'europa nun ni teni

pri tutt'u munnu la so fama sbanni

Ma la guerra nun rispetta a nuddu beni:

la vita è non soltanto di l'umani!

Stupraro dda riserva naturali

d'arvuli, piante, ciuri e puru armali

  1. Mancu li surci ponnu entrari dintra

ca è recintata tuttu a torno a torno,

si voi sapiri soccu fannu dintra

po' liggiri i giurnali d'ogni ghiornu:

minchiati trovirai, pri fari finta

ca n'arrispettanu e nni danu cuntu!

Ma u chiù granni segretu militari

è ca nni trattano pi cavie e scudi umani!

  1. E pri vint'anni i Niscimisi 'un s'addunaru

di stu prugettu mortiferu e fetenti

'nta mentri l'amiricani terminaru

di cuntrullari lu munnu 'nteramenti.

Ma quannu non contenti s'inventaru

di fari puru u MUOS, ddocu li genti

aracio aracio tutti arrisbigghiaru

e accuminzaru pritinniri chiarimenti

  1. Li scinziati prontamenti rispunnero:

“stati tranquilli ca 'un si rischia nenti

dopu trint'anni la tecnologia

va facennu 'u so' camino cu valìa!

Stu MUOS è un microonde interstellare

tre parabole, scudo satellitare

l'avutri tri l'avemu, e cu stu quartu

chiuemu a storia e bruciamo l'incarto!!”

  1. Ma ringraziannu a Diu li scinziati

'un su' tutti vinnuti a li putenti:

Zucchetti e Coraddu in chiaritati

mitteru i rischi 'nfacci di la genti:

“pri la saluti, picchi siti irraggiati

di radiazioni continuativamenti,

'n parramu poi si capita 'ncidenti

e i danni pi l'ambienti circostanti!”

  1. Ddocu la genti tutta ncominzau

a sintirisi nti spini, e dda partiu

un parra parra ca nenti l'astutau

e u movimento NO MUOS nasciu:

ai picciotti l'esperienza s'aggiuvau

di vecchia militanza ca cririu

un comitato cittadino di furmari

coordinamento regionali po' criari

  1. Comu cacoccioli arrustuti semu

assai su l'antenni ca 'ncapu avemu

chi servinu a mannari li cumanni

pi seminari guerra a tutti banni:

l'antenni su chiu assai na quarantina

martiri dda terra ncurunata 'i spina!

Li lacrimi ca chianci fanu un mari

di unni ca nun sunu pi natari...

  1. Elettromagnetiche si chiamanu

st'ondazze infami ca n'abbrucianu

su fatte di frequenze ca trapanano

e necrosi cellulare unca adducinu...

li chiu bassi pi li sottomarini!

Ad acchianari 'nsinu a li chiu fini!

Pi cuntrullari l'azioni militari

di cu a guerra mai voli firmari.

  1. La genti di Niscemi 'un si da paci

picciotti, anziani, matri 'i famigghia

“Genti! L'informazioni su' fallaci!

L'amiricani su' mastri r'imbrogghia!

Presidio permanenti! E cu 'n ci piaci

cu tempu app'a stimari dda famigghia

ca scudu fici cu la so pirsuna

ogni matina all'arba nta dda chiana

  1. Contrada Ulmo, tirreno d'un privato,

ca costeggia dda strata 'i Fonte Apa

unico via pi la base asfaltata,

presidio è fatto, la strata ora è bloccata

Ghiornu e notti cu passa è ostacolato

di la ggenti ca ddocu s'è assembrata

nta na baracca e un focu pi quariari

tennu addumata a forza p'alluttari

  1. E lu fumu ca nesci di dda ligna

vagnata nna stu 'nvernu ca 'un pirduna

li naschi troppu gintili indigna

di cu tenta d'accattari sta tribuna:

politici ca vonnu la cunsigna,

questore, commissario e li sbirruna,

ma sti liuna 'un si fanu ammansiri:

“c'u fumu nta li naschi 'i nn'at'a gghiri!!”

  1. Pri signali ddu fumu 'ncelu acchiana

comu fussiru indiani cu arcu e frecci

tutta Sicilia a la lotta richiama

ogni paisi un comitatu nesci:

Caltagirone e poi Piazza Armerina

comu lu pani u movimentu crisci

tannu s'arruspigghiau macari Gela

doppu Palermo, Trapani e Marsala

  1. Ora Signuri mei vogghiu parrari

di n'atra parti di lu muvimentu

chidda ca a tutti fici nnamurari

e ca nni rinsaldau cu lu so' 'ntentu:

'ntento fu di non fari passari

manco li militari pi lu cambio

ogni matina a lu cancello uno

li fimmini 'un pirdunano a nissuno!

  1. Fimmini dicu, donni di Niscemi

ca 'un sunu ne' maestri e ne' dutturi

su' matri 'i famigghia, ogn'una teni

figghi, niputi e anziani di nnacari

Ma ogni famigghia na tragedia teni

quarcunu ca è malato di tumori

ca cummatti cu quarchi malatia

chi arrusica a so' vita pri la via

  1. Ma tutti i malatie signuri mei

'un sunu riservate pi l'anziani

ca fussi nu distinu naturali

ca tutti a lu Criaturi 'am'a turnari:

sti mali su pri tutti, e li chiù peni

su' quannu a sufrriri su' i criaturi

s'un figghiu nasce già disvantaggiato

l'ordini naturali è cunsumatu.

  1. Ddocu puru u Signuri s'arribbella

Natura è predisposta a nun falliri

ma l'omu ca s'incegna a fari guerra

stracancia a liggi cridennusi 'n putiri

Ma la matri cu curaggiu i pugni serra

p'a saluti di so figghi prutiggiri

Tutti li mammi s'junceru in comitato:

NO MUOS! NO ANTENNE! E' abusu di stato!

  1. Si semu tutti uniti a sti cancelli

tuttu bloccamu, puru un carrarmatu

ma st'am'accura ca milli tranelli

ponnu 'ncignari li putenti d'ogni latu

Politici e mafiusi su fratelli

l'amiricani tuttu annu nvintatu

su settantanni ca nui semu schiavi

di ddu prugettu ca decenza unn'avi.

  1. D'u cori r'a Sicilia ad allargare

semu già chhiù assai na quarantina

da Catania a Ragusa 'nsinu al mare

i comitati 'ncazzati cchiu ri prima:

“nun semu cchiu disposti a delegare

a sti politici di panza china

fanne trattati ca figghianu guerra

e no paci e saluti pi sta terra”

  1. Ma ora, amici mei, chistu iu ricu

s'un comitato all'unu si pigghiasse

n'antenna, comu esercitu i furmichi

pizzuddu pi pizzuddu la smontasse!

E ddu disertu allibirtatu, dicu

d'arbuli e ciuri arreri si vistisse!

Ai nostri figghi chista ereditati

lassamu, pri campari in libirtati!

  1. E chistu fu l'esempio ca nni desi

Turi quanno trasiu dintra la basi

puru Nicola cu Simona e Desi

mentri si senti: “curnutu cu'n trasi!!”

Acchiananu l'antenna e dda suspesi

deci ure 'o ventu la bannera stasi

cu chista granni prova di valanza

la determinazioni crisci e avanza

  1. Li cancelli di la basi militari

d'a marina amiricana uesse navi

'un si grapinu cchiu, nuddu a' passari

ca cca stavota 'un ni ci fate scavi!

P'u MUOS li travagghi am'a firmari

puru tutti l'antenni smantillari!

La nostra vita è cosa cchiu mpurtanti

di tutti i vostri sordi e l'armamenti!

  1. Sicilia s'avi a smilitarizzari

l'Italia arreri 'n peri si mittisii

nfacci l'amiricani pi canciari

l'eterna schiavitù ca un pattu scrissi

Liberi e in paci putemu accuminzari

a fari un novu mondu ca virissi

fimmini e omini tutti na famigghia

ca pri lu beni comuni assai travagghia

  1. E tutti uniti cu na sola vuci

gridamu ca Sicilia voli paci!

Guvernu i porci grossi nni cunnuci

supra 'n caminu c'a nuddu nni piaci

Ma s'u populu è sovranu, a nostra vuci

scunfiggirà l'abusu, e comu braci

sutta lu culu di l'amiricani

semu migliaia di NO MUOS siciliani!!
