Cosas en General

Siempre me había gustado Europa, una canción del conjunto de músicos y productores de Immediate Music, la popular compañía de creación de bandas sonoras.  Pero nunca me había detenido a entender la letra, y me he llevado una sorpresa al ver que a lo largo de los cerca de 4 minutos que dura da un interesante repaso a las principales batallas que han tenido lugar en Europa, además de hacer hincapié en algunos puntos clave de su historia.

Hay una estrofa en francés que no termino de entender, así que si alguien sabe qué puede significar agradecería un comentario!

From Agincourt to Waterloo
Poitiers and then Anjou
The Roses War, the Hundred Years
Through battlefields of blood and tears
From Bosworth Field to Pointe Du Hoc
Stalingrad and the siege of York
The bloody turf of Gallipoli
Had no effect on the killing spree
Bannockburn to Austerlitz
The fall of France and the German Blitz
The cruelest of atrocities
Europa’s blood is borne of these

Heaven help in all our battles
Heaven see love, heaven help us

Bolsheviks and feudal lords
Chivalry to civil wars
Fascist rule and genocide
Now we face the rising tide
Of new crusades, religious wars
Insurgents imported to our shores
To western world, gripped in fear
The mother of all battles here

Heaven help in all our battles
Heaven see love, heaven help us
Avant hier, avons etre
Deja demain, (nous) sommes eclairee

All glory, all honor
Victory is upon us
Our savior, fight evil
Send armies to defend us

Empires built and nations burned
Mass graves remain unturned
Decendants of the dispossessed
Return with bombs strapped to their chests
There’s hate for life and death in hate
Emerging from a new caliphate
The victors of this war on fear
Will rule for the next thousand years

All glory, all honor
Victory is upon us
Our savior, fight evil
Send armies to defend us

Europa, Europa
Find better days before us
In kindness, in spirit
Lead us to a greater calling

Leningrad, Berlin Wall
March on Rome, Bzyantium’s Fall
Lightning War, Dresden Night
Drop a bomb, end this fight
NEVER AGAIN!
