Ако можех да променя нещо в света...

Една песен, рожба на сътрудничеството на бившият вокалист на една от най-известните гръцки рок банди - Пикс Лакс (Πυξ Λαξ) - Филипос Плятсикас (Φίλιππος Πλιάτσικας) и MC Yinka. Песента започва и зарършва с емисия на BBC, в която ясно се чува репортаж за поредните стотици цивилни жертви в Афганистан, загинали в името на чужди империалистични интереси, както много точно се пее и в песента:

"Today I hear Lebanese babies cry,
Ι see imperialistic minds crossing the line
Smart bombs, stolen moments"

"Днес аз чувам плачът на ливанските бебета
Виждам империалистични интереси да прекрачват границата
Умни бомби, откраднати моменти"

Песента се излъчва редовно по телевизия и радио МАД в Гърция, въпреки откровенното си антиамериканско послание.

Ето и клипчетата, първо с английски субтитри:



Оригиналният клип, с включването на MC Yinka на англисйки:



С гръцки текст:





Φίλιππος Πλιάτσικας - Αν θα μπορούσα τον κόσμο να άλλαζα Στίχοι/Μουσική: Φίλιππος Πλιάτσικας

Πρώτη φορά που την είδα, στεκότανε,
τη νύχτα εκείνη που η Ρώμη καιγότανε,
χιλιάδες χρόνια φωτιά και μηνύματα,
μα δεν ξεχνώ του κορμιού της τα κύματα.

Την είδα πάλι στις όχθες του Βόλγα,
που ένας στρατιώτης τη φώναξε Όλγα,
κάτι ψιθύρισε μέσα στο κρύο,
τότε μου 'χε φανεί τόσο αστείο.

[ Ρεφρέν ]
Αν θα μπορούσα τον κόσμο να άλλαζα,
θα ξαναέβαφα γαλάζια τη θάλασσα.
Κάτι αν μπορούσα στον κόσμο να άλλαζα,
θα ξαναέβαφα γαλάζια τη θάλασσα.
[ - Ρεφρέν ]

Στο Πάλος νύχτα τ' όνομά της αφήνει,
γραμμένο κάπου στου Κολόμβου την πρύμνη,
τότε που οι Ισπανοί ξεκινούσαν,
και για μια άγνωστη μοίρα μεθούσαν.

Βρέθηκε κάποια στιγμή στη Γαλλία,
πρώτη του Μάη σε μια άδεια πλατεία,
σε λίγο οι φοιτητές θα ξεσπούσαν,
και μια αλλιώτικη ζωή θα ζητούσαν.

[ Ρεφρέν ]

Is it a sign of the times?
Is man an intelligent beast trained to commit legitimate crimes?
I go through history's pages and see how profit
was guirding empires to slay places
Years of fire, strife and sorrow
while the so-called benefactors were snatching lands.
From the crusaders to the conquistadores,
disrespectful conquerors treating natives like whores.
Today I hear Lebanese babies cry,
i see imperialistic minds crossing the line
Smart bombs, stolen moments
they chew other countries riches as if they were rodents.
Mankind is in an open war with nature
we intervene without respecting the structure

People! They're cutting down Amazons trees
and mother earth still counts her casualties
If I could change something in the world
I would turn the sea blue again and feed the poor

Σήμερα έχει στα χέρια ένα αγόρι,
πάλι ξεκίνησαν οι Σταυροφόροι,
μα ποιος ακούει και ποιος ενδιαφέρεται,
για ένα κόσμο που βράζει και φλέγεται.

An ta borousa ton kosmo na allaza:

Proti fora pou tin ida, stekotane,
ti nihta ekini pou i Romi kegotane,
hiliades hronia fotia ke minimata,
ma den ksehno tou kormiou tis ta kimata.

Tin ida pali stis ohthes tou Volga,
pou enas stratiotis ti fonakse Olga,
kati psithirise mesa sto krio,
tote mou 'he fani toso astio.

[ Chorus ]
An tha borousa ton kosmo na allaza,
tha ksanaevafa galazia ti thalassa.
Kati an borousa ston kosmo na allaza,
tha ksanaevafa galazia ti thalassa.
[ - Chorus ]

Sto Palos nyxta t' onoma tis afinei,
grammeno kapoy stoy Kolomboy tin prymni,
tote poy oi Ispanoi xekinoysan,
kai gia mia agnosti moira methoysan.

Brethike kapoia stigmi sti Gallia,
proti toy Mai se mia adeia plateia,
se ligo oi foitites tha xespoysan,
kai mia alliotiki zoi tha zitoysan.

Simera exei sta xeria ena agori,

ma poios akoyei kai poios endiaferetai,
gia ena kosmo poy brazei kai flegetai.
