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 know about. The famine, which 150 years ago.
It three lifetimes at most. Things that happen than were on from father
to son, from to daughter, down to this day. They are within us now, and we
don deal with them. And it seems to me, this is what interesting a lot
of Irish now, that it is the carrier for this kind of feeling, and for this
kind of emotion, that we no other expression for it because politically we
deny it, intellectually we deny it. Our literature ....... doesn deal this,
our sentiment deal with this. But music, it in the music, it seems to me.
The can actually carry those things in al kinds of visible ways, in gesture,
in movement, in language, in and in music.

Okay, I want to talk about
Specifically I to talk about the "famine"
the fact that there never really was one
was no "famine"
See Irish people only allowed to eat potatoes
All of the food, meat, fish, vegetables,
were shipped out of the country under armed
To while the Irish people starved
And in the middle of all this
gave us money not to teach our children Irish
And so we our history
And this is what I is still hurting me

You see we're like a child that's battered
Has to itself out of it's head because it's frightened
Still feels all the painful
But they lose with the memory
And this leads to massive
Alcoholism, drug
All attempts at running
And in it's worst
Becomes killing
And if ever is gonna be healing
has to be remembering
And then
So that then can be forgiving
has to be knowledge and understanding

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

An American army
Says you kill more than ten percent of a nation
'Cos to do so permanent "psychological damage"
It's not permanent but they didn't that
during the supposed "famine"
We lost a lot than 10% of our nation
Through deaths on land or on ships of
But what finally broke us is not
No it's use in the controlling of our
School go on "Black 47"
On and on "The terrible famine"
But they don't say is in truth
There really was one

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

So take a look can we
The highest statistics of child in the EEC
And we say a Christian country
But we've lost with our history
See we used to worship God as a
We're suffering from post stress disorder
at all our old men in the pubs
Look at all our young on drugs
We used to worship God as a
Now at what we're doing to each other
We've made killers of ourselves
The most child-like trusting in the Universe
And is what's wrong with us
Our history books the figures lied to us
I see the
As a race like a
That got itself in the face
And if there ever is gonna be
has to be remembering
And then
So that there can be forgiving
has to be knowledge and understanding

All the lonely
Where do they all come
All the lonely
do they all belong
All the lonely
Where do they all come
(That I can you in one word)
All the lonely
Where do all belong

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

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

We stand on the of a great achievement
In this there is no solution
To be found to our
By shooting each

Because of our tradition here knows who he is
and God expects him to do

Forgiveness,

Yes
And

Equate, be


Yes
And

(repeat the above times)
