Matilde Politi: voice and guitar
ORDER NOW
1 . Sicily, 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

E schiava fusti di ricchi e

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

-
La storia nostra è scritta cu lu

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
-
Sbarcaru cca 'n Sicilia e
prontamenti

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
-
Nu viziu ca pari macari jocu:
a tutti banni unni vinceru a guerra

Korea, Giappone, Germania, Italia o
Grecia
Tuttu u munnu accussì strincinu

E ccà, nno menzo du Mediterraneo
p'ogni guerra c'a sta banna vonnu fari
di cca 'n Sicilia a ponnu controllari
-
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

-
E ddocu nnu 91 'a smantellaru

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
-
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
-
Mancu li surci ponnu entrari

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!
-
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
-
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!!”
-
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!”
-
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
-
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...
-
Elettromagnetiche si chiamanu

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.
-
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
-
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
-
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:

ma sti liuna 'un si fanu ammansiri:
“c'u fumu nta li naschi 'i nn'at'a

-
Pri signali ddu fumu 'ncelu

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

doppu Palermo, Trapani e Marsala
-
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!
-
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
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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”
-
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!
-
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
-
Li cancelli di la basi militari
d'a marina amiricana uesse navi

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!
-
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
-
E tutti uniti cu na sola vuci
gridamu ca Sicilia voli paci!
Guvernu i porci grossi nni cunnuci

Ma s'u populu è sovranu, a nostra vuci

sutta lu culu di l'amiricani
semu migliaia di NO MUOS siciliani!!
