Sur la piste des héroïnes : Eva Peron.

Certains d'entre vous, dans le cadre de leur sujet de TPE, vont être amenés à effectuer des recherches sur le personnage historique d'Eva Peron, devenue une véritable icône de l'Argentine. Vous pouvez d'ores et déjà découvrir cette figure d'héroïne à travers la chanson "Don't cry for me Argentina", interprétée par Madonna dans le film Evita, d'Alan Parker.

 

 

Les paroles :

 

"It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange
when I try to explain how I feel,
that I still need your love after all that I've done.
You won't believe me
all you will see is a girl you once knew
although she's dressed up to the nines
at sixes and sevens with you.

I had to let it happen, I had to change,
couldn't stay all my life down at heel,
looking out of the window, staying out of the sun.
So I chose freedom,
running around, trying everything new,
but nothing impressed me at all,
I never expected it to.

Don't cry for me Argentina
the truth is I never left you all through my wild days,
my mad existence I kept my promise,
don't keep your distance.

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
though it seemed to the world they were all I desired.
They are illusions,
they are not the solutions they promised to be,
the answer was here all the time:
I love you and hope you love me.

Don't cry for me Argentina,

Don't cry for me Argentina,
the truth is I never left you, all through my wild days,
my mad existence I kept my promise,
don't keep your distance.

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you,
but all you have to do is look at me
to know that every word is true."

J'écris, de Moncef Ghachem

Pour préparer la venue du poète Moncef Ghachem qui viendra vendredi 5 octobre vous parler de poésie et de révolution arabe, voici "J'écris", l'un de ses textes mis en musique.

 

We can be heroes, just for one day !

Une chanson de David Bowie, qui figure sur l'album "Heroes", sorti en 1977.

 

Les paroles:

 

I
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes
Just for one day

I
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day

I
I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guards
Shout above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we can be Heroes
Just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing
And nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying
Then you better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day
