Estaba escuchando una maravillosa canci\u00f3n titulada \u00abNo man’s land\u00bb compuesta por Eric Bogle en 1976, y me di cuenta que la letra aunque habla de la primera guerra mundial, puede aplicarse a cualquier est\u00fapida guerra de la actualidad. En la p\u00e1gina THE SONGS OF ERIC BOGLE<\/a>, puedes oir la canci\u00f3n cantada por su compositor en formato real-audio. Canci\u00f3n<\/a>. Esta es la letra:<\/p>\n

NO MAN’S LAND
\n(THE GREEN FIELDS OF FRANCE)
\n(ERIC BOGLE) (1976)
\nWell, how’d you do, Private Willie McBride,
\nD’you mind if I sit down down here by your graveside?
\nI’ll rest for awhile in the warm summer sun,
\nBeen walking all day, Lord, and I’m nearly done.
\nI see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
\nWhen you joined the glorious fallen in 1916,
\nI hope you died quick and I hope you died \u00abclean,\u00bb
\nOr, Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?
\nCHORUS
\nAnd did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
\nIn some faithful heart is your memory enshrined?
\nAnd, though you died back in 1916,
\nTo that loyal heart are you forever nineteen?
\nOr are you a stranger, without even a name,
\nForever enshrined behind some glass pane,
\nIn an old photograph, torn and tattered and stained,
\nAnd fading to yellow in a brown leather frame?
\nCHORUS
\nWell, the sun’s shining down on these green fields of France;
\nThe warm wind blows gently, the red poppies dance.
\nThe trenches have vanished long under the plow;
\nNo gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
\nBut here in this graveyard it’s still No Man’s Land;
\nThe countless white crosses in mute witness stand
\nTo man’s blind indifference to his fellow man.
\nAnd a whole generation who were butchered and damned.
\nCHORUS
\nAnd I can’t help but wonder now, Willie McBride,
\nDo all those who lie here know why they died?
\nDid you really believe them when they told you \u00abthe cause?\u00bb
\nDid you really believe that this war would end wars?
\nWell the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame,
\nThe killing, the dying, it was all done in vain,
\nFor Willie McBride, it’s all happened again,
\nAnd again, and again, and again, and again.
\nCHORUS:
\nDid they beat the drum slowly, did they sound the fife lowly?
\nDid the rifles fire o’er ye as they lowered ye down?
\nDid the bugles sing \u00abThe Last Post\u00bb in chorus?
\nDid the pipes play the \u00abFlowers O’ The Forest\u00bb?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
