translation to Mad Yannis via alta vista

HAMPTON (LONDON) -"Vede that isoletta? That one Is Taggs Island.
Once we played ourselves, to half years Seventy. They were the years
in which all they had not abdicated. Someone still believed of being
able to change the things ". It had abdicated? "Not. I have not
abdicated not even now. I would not be here in means to these
buttons. There is people with hats more white men of mine that
every a lot firm me for road and me asks eccentric things, than
much then eccentric are not. L ' other day a type asks to me: to
that point we are? And I: excuses, to that purpose? And he: but
the new Pink Floyd, than questions, we want to exit or not with
this Benedict disc? We are made two risate and we have spoken
about soccer. A tifoso of the Arsenal was also he ". Us forgiveness,
but we to it would want to ask it also: to when an other disc of the
Pink Floyd? "I will say to Them: change idea and feelings with
regard to at least once to the year, a year makes, during an
interview, me innervosii and said that it was useless to hope.
Today task: in bottom because it could not happen " With Roger
Waters, even.


"With Roger unfortunately I do not speak from 1987, but I do not have
some rancor in its confronts, E' he that a day is angry with me and
it is not never more returned on its passes. I do not know what can
be happened ". Sure it is chč Waters does not seem to have abdicated.
"therefore if it abdicates it dies" But what means exactly in order to
abdicate? To renounce to believe that music can change the world?
"Not, To abdicate you want to say to stop to believe in that for
which it has been conceived. It does not know to make many things
in the life. As far as music, not, music has not changed the world.
And it will not change it tomorrow. It can but inhibit the intentions
of the sconsiderate persons. It can put a little fear who believes of
being omnipotent. In years Sixty we have believed ourselves indeed.
But then it watches cos' has happened, those of our generation have
had to endure more wounds of their enemies. And the world was the
same one. One prank ". Therefore?


"I story, write, try not to never disappoint my woman, try to educate
my sons and try also to more understand something than same me through
of they. This is not to abdicate. And it it is also to refuse to
believe that single civilization exists only one progressive. If he
were therefore, I would be of left like it I am Blair. And frankly...
". And dov' is ended its left?


It watches I do not know it. I only know that if as Bob Dylan partially
has been rimangiato all, you even want to say that Blair is not alone,
than Bush has some friend also in the houses of its supposed detractors,
and it is for that exists a left interventionist who protegge the
interests of the oligarchy of the dollars and the oil and that now
lives for the 11 september ". Would write one song for the occasion?


If you tried to us, nothing would not come me. Both the parts in cause provoke massacres ".
Why it has recorded only two album solisti? "They are lazy and now I have also eight sons,
therefore a time limited to disposition. More than "recording artist"
they are "recording father"

Cos' was music for the David Gilmour that to 22 years entered in the
Pink Floyd? "Nenti, ventidue hours to the day of life lived all until
the last breath". It scared to replace its friend Syd Barrett? "Yes,
even if to the beginning it seemed that the role had to be various.
Syd was badly, not could be more exhibited, therefore thought about
ritagliargli an author role. He to house to write, we outside playing.
But the plan failed "

When you wrote the songs of The dark side of the moon you had the
feeling that something would be changed in order always in the world
of music rock? "We were strong and arrogating. Of usual it is answered
that not, the things were not at all therefore. And instead stavolta
I say to them that you will understand endured where there were pushes.
We had the feeling of being then arrives you to capolavoro, to that it
would have changed first of all a our history, also that one of the
world around ". Many moneies, but no meaningful corruption? "We were
corrupts eccome. Corrupts perche for a moment us seemed truly that we
could make any thing.

The moneies eat you something within ". But the Pink Floyd is remained
in feet. "Until to Animals. Then, perhaps for that poison of the corruption
that I said to them, we are bursts to you. Indeed everyone is burst to
way its and the period until comprised The wall has been most ugly of
our history. We had lost the sense of our job ". And best which has
been? "From Atom heart mother to The dark side: they were the years
in which Roger divenne paroliere extraordinary ". And com' has been
the slid year (the concert of the dvd) to resume the songs of the
Pink Floyd of seven years at a distance? "Soft. Malleable. Vital.
It sees the water here outside? L ' inspiration of the Pink Floyd
had one aquatic nature ".

But it nearly has chosen a preparation folk for ricantarle. Little
faithful to it originates them. "it originates them to It can also
not count. It counts if one has abdicated or less ". It has many Italian
friends. It was also Antonioni to the time of Zabriskie Point? "a
great person who churches to make the column us of a film sonorous in
which she did not want that there was of music. I have not never
understood what meant to make of our job. Indeed, it are sincere, I
have not never understood what said ". That ago now? "a disc the next
year and this evening I go to see I' Arsenal".

Re: Press Release for David's DVD

Floydian Slip:

Dr Cheese: It's definitely another interview. The Italian journalist WAS at Gilmour's Astoria, not at the phone. And Dave in the Italian interview said that there's always the possibility of a new Floyd work some day.

"And click here for a very special treat, courtesy of the folks at EMI..."

Re: Press Release for David's DVD

Seeing that "Fat Old Sun" is on the playlist has me Amped. I'd buy the DVD just for that song alone.

Re: Press Release for David's DVD

OK guys, here's my translation of David's interview. I apologize in advance for grammar/spelling mistakes, but I did my best and I am sure the *meaning* is absolutely correct.

P.s: Hi Tiago, welcome to another Floyd friend from the Echoes board

Here we go.

“Do you see that little island? That’s Taggs Island. We played there, once, in the mid 70s. In those years not everybody did abdicate. Someone still believed of being able to change things.”
Did you abdicate?
“No. I didn’t, not even now. I would not be here, amidst these buttons. There’s people with whiter hair than mine which stops me in the street and ask me weird things – which are not that weird, after all. The other day a guy asked me: where have we got to? And I: sorry, about what? And he: the new Pink Floyd, of course! Is it time to release this blessed album or not? We had a laughter and we talked of football. He too was an Arsenal supporter.”
Pardon, but we ourselves want to ask you: when another Pink Floyd album?
“I tell you: I change opinion and feelings about it at least one time at every year. One year ago, during an interview, I got nervous and I said that hoping was useless. Now I think: after all, why not? why could not it happen?”
With Roger Waters, maybe.
“Unfortunately, I don’t speak with Roger since 1987, but I have no grudge with him. One day he got angry with me and he never more changed his mind. I have no idea of what’s happened.”
For sure Roger Waters doesn’t seem to have abdicated himself.
“That kind of man, if he abdicated, he would die.”
But what do you mean with abdicating? Renouncing to believe that music can change the world?
“No. Abdicating means renouncing to believe in what you was conceived for. One isn’t able to do many things in his life. Coming to music, no, music didn’t change the world. And it’s not going to change it tomorrow. But it can inhibit intentions of thoughtless people. It can frighten a bit who thinks to be omnipotent. In the 60s we really believed in it. But afterwards, look what’s happened, our generations had to suffer more injuries than our enemies. And world was still the same. A jest.”
And so what?
“I tell, I write, I try to not disappoint my woman, I try to educate my sons, I also try to understand something about myself through them, this is not abdicating. And so is refusing to believe that there’s only one progressive civilization. If it was that way, I would be left-winger the same way that Blair is. And frankly…”
And where’s your Left gone?
“You see, I don’t know. I know that if even one like Bob Dylan partly took back what he said, it means that Blair isn’t alone, it means that Bush has friends even in the houses of his presumed detractors, that’s why there’s an interventionist Left protecting the interests of the oligarchy of petroleum and dollars and which now is living for 11 September.”
Would you write a song for the occasion?
“If I tried, I would come up with nothing. Both parties cause slaughters.”
Why did you release only two solo albums?
“Because I am lazy and now I have got eight sons, so I have a limited time. I am a “recording father” more than a “recording artist”.
What was music for the 22 years old David Gilmour joining Pink Floyd?
“Twenty, twenty-two hours per day of life lived to the last.”
Were you frightened of replacing your friend Syd Barrett?
“Yes, even if at the beginning it seemed his role had to be different. Syd was ill, he wasn’t able to perform, so we thought to give him the role of author. He, at home, writing. And we, out, playing. But this plan failed.”
When you wrote the songs for Dark Side Of The Moon did you have the feeling of something changing forever in the world of rock music?
“We were tough and arrogant. Usually we say no, things were not that way. But this time I say you that we did know where we pushed ourselves. We did have the sensation of having accomplished a masterpiece, something changing first and foremost our history, and subsequently the history of the world around us.”
A lot of money but no significative corruption?
“We were corrupt, sure. Corrupt because for one moment it seemed to us we could do everything. Money eats something inside of you.”
But Pink Floyd did stand still.
“Until Animals. Afterwards, maybe because of that poison of corruption I was talking about, we exploded. Not at all, everyone of us exploded his own way and the period up to The Wall included has been the worst of our history. We lost the sense of our work.”
And which was the best moment?
“From Atom Heart Mother up to Dark Side, those were the years when Roger became a fantastic lyricist.”
And how was, the last year (the DVD concert) to take the songs of Pink Floyd, after seven years?
“Soft. Malleable. Vital. Do you see water out there? Pink Floyd’s inspiration was of an aquatic nature.”
But you did chose a quasi-folk arrangement to sing them. Not so close to the original.
“Originals could even not count. What counts is if one has abdicated or not.”
You have many Italian friends. Was Antonioni one of them at the time of Zabriskie Point?
“A great person who wanted us to make the soundtrack for a movie which he didn’t want music in. I never understood what he wanted to do with our work. To be honest, I never understood what he was saying.”
What are you going to do, now?
“A record next year, and tonight I go see the Arsenal.”

Re: Press Release for David's DVD

Thanks, Yannis. Awesome translation job. My hat is off to you & the other multi-linguists out there. You guys write English so well I forget it's the 2nd language of so many of you.

EIGHT sons!(?) Good Lord.

Re: Press Release for David's DVD

Thank you, Yannis.

BTW, strat, it is not eight SONS...that includes sons AND daughters. In Latin languages, even one male in the group changes the gender of the word. At least, it's that way in Spanish. So I think daughters are included, too.
