WorldNetDaily 2015-02-04Babylonia was an ancient Semitic, Akkadian speaking nation in central-southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), with Babylon as its capital. Babylonia emerged as a major power when Hammurabi (1792- 1750 BC or fl. ca. 1696 – 1654 BC, short chronology) created an empire out of the territories of the former Akkadian Empire.
Babylonia retained the written Semitic Akkadian language for official use (the language of its native populace), despite its Amorite founders and Kassite successors not being native Akkadians. It retained the Sumerian language for religious use, which by the time Babylon was founded was probably no longer a spoken language. The earlier Akkadian and Sumerian traditions played a major role in Babylonian (and Assyrian) culture, and the region would remain an important cultural center, even under protracted and lengthy periods of outside rule.
The earliest mention of the city of Babylon can be found in a tablet from the reign of Sargon of Akkad (2334- 2279 BC), dating back to the 23rd century BC. Babylon was merely a religious and cultural centre at this point and not an independent state, and like the rest of Mesopotamia, it was subject to the Akkadian Empire which united all the Akkadian and Sumerian speakers under one rule. After the collapse of the Akkadian empire, the south Mesopotamian region was ruled by Gutians for a few decades before the rise of the Sumerian third dynasty of Ur which encompassed the whole of Mesopotamia, including Babylon.
Manu Chao (born José-Manuel Thomas Arthur Chao on June 21, 1961), is a French singer of Spanish roots (Basque and Galician). He sings in French, Spanish, English, Italian, Galician, Arabic and Portuguese and occasionally in other languages. Chao began his musical career in Paris, busking and playing with groups such as Hot Pants and Los Carayos, which combined a variety of languages and musical styles. With friends and his brother Antoine Chao, he founded the band Mano Negra in 1987, achieving considerable success, particularly in Europe. He became a solo artist after its breakup in 1995, and since then tours regularly with his live band, Radio Bemba.
Chao was born to Spanish parents. His mother, Felisa Ortega, is from Bilbao, Basque country and his father, writer and journalist Ramón Chao, is from Vilalba, Galicia. They emigrated to Paris to avoid Francisco Franco's dictatorship—Manu's grandfather had been sentenced to death. Shortly after Manu's birth, the Chao family moved to the outskirts of Paris, and Manu spent most of his childhood in Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres. As he grew up he was surrounded by many artists and intellectuals, most of whom were acquaintances of his father. Chao cites much of his childhood experience as inspiration for some songs.
You say "I love but I'm not in love"
You wear your life like overtight gloves
You try to conceal the discomfort you're feeling
Oh, I can feel you
Oh, now your soul is soaring
In your eyes
In your smile
In your face
Something uncertain
In your words
In your moves
In your ways
Something undefined
Something
Something
Something
In your eyes
In your smile
I can find the ethereal connection
You say "I love but I'm not in love"
Among the eagles you fly like a dove
There's something waiting to bloom in your arms
Oh, I can feel it
Oh, now you soul is showing
You're falling
You're rising
Bajo la influencia babilónica, tiene cosa irónica y son de la vida bíblica,
paso de teoría prefiero la práctica sobre los hechos cotidianos de la vida
lógica, mientras mano mágica falta en Africa, tienen menos de todo pero mas de na, y en España ke? En España da igual porke con africanos no tienen na ke pactar, autómatas son en la ciudad como robots matando al personal, jornada laboral, a fin de mes cobrar, pagar todas la deudas y vuelta a empezar y asi disfrutar de tu no libertad, delincuente tu serás por fumar gancha, búscate una novia ke te sepa cocinar y plancher y sea buena para hijos criar, porke ke mas das lo ke puedas opinar si la vida ya esta programa prepara, diseña hipócritas ese es el plan.....
(Coro:)
Pues vivimos en Babilonia, comprate una vida y no pares de
pagar, la, la, pues vivimos en Babilonia no hay nada mejor ke la gran
ciudad, pues vivimos en Babilonia reserva todo lo tuyo y ke le jodan a todos los demas, pues vivimos en Babilonia bajate los pantalones ke todo va a empezar
Ke viene la ley y viene el juez y viene todo lo ke no kereis, acaba el milenio y
las cosas son no como crees ni como ves, resistete y defiéndete ke nada te
