Domhnach na Fola (Bloody Sunday)

Faz hoje 36 anos que as tropas inglesas abriram fogo sobre um grupo de manifestantes pacificos, numa marcha pelos Direitos Humanos, em Derry. Das milhares de pessoas presentes, 26 pessoas foram atingidas, 13 morreram no local (6 das quais eram menores) e uma 14’ pessoa morreu uns meses depois, em sequencia dos ferimentos sofridos na altura.
Este incidente ficou conhecido como Domingo Sangrento.



Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2)

Yes...

I cant believe the news today
Oh, I cant close my eyes and make it go away

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...
cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...

Broken bottles under childrens feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I wont heed the battle callIt puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday bloody sunday...)
(allright lets go!)
And the battles just begun
Theres many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...
cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Tonight...

Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)
Tonight
Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)
(come get some!)
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
I wipe your tears away
(sunday, bloody sunday)
I wipe your blood shot eyes
(sunday, bloody sunday)
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)
(here I come!)
And its true we are immune
When fact is fiction and tv reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle yet begun (sunday, bloody sunday)
To claim the victory jesus won (sunday, bloody sunday)

On...
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday...
