Fischia il Vento

Il 25 Aprile si festeggia la Liberazione,
Per celebrare questo avvenimento il
Grande Leader invita il Popolo di Leaderonia
a cantare una canzone cara a lui stesso.

Fischia il vento, infuria la bufera,
scarpe rotte eppur bisogna andar,
a conquistare la rossa primavera
dove sorge il sol dell'avvenir.
Ogni contrada è patria del ribelle
ogni donna a lui dona un sospir,
nella notte lo guidano le stelle
forte il cuore e il braccio nel colpir.
Se ci coglie la crudele morte
dura vendetta verrà dal partigian;
ormai sicura è gia la dura sorte
contro il vile che noi ricerchiam.
Cessa il vento, calma è la bufera,
torna a casa fiero il partigian
Sventolando la rossa sua bandiera;
vittoriosi e alfin liberi siam.

Si Ringrazia l'Associazione Nazionale Partigiani d'Italia

Kim-Il-Sung Birthday

Born in Pyongyang in 1912, Kim-Il-Sung fought in the moun-
tains of Manchuria against colonial Japan. After the Japanese
defeat at the end of World War II, the Soviet Union installed
him to rule the northern half of the Korean peninsula.

His rule went unchallenged until his death, when his son Kim
Jong-il inherited power as chairman of the powerful National
Defense Commission. The junior Kim never took the title of
president, in deference to his father.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Excitement and joy reigned in NorthKorea, official media reported, as the impoverished, secretivestate celebrated the 93rd anniversary of the birth of KimIl-sung, its founder and eternal president.

Pyongyang was pulling out all the festive stops for Kim'sbirthday, which it calls "the Day of the Sun."

Former Indonesian president Megawati Sukarnoputri was inthe capital to attend the opening of the annual Kimilsungiafestival, celebrating the flower named after the late "GreatLeader."

Floral tributes were placed beneath Kim's statues acrossthe country, North Korean media said.

Around the world, meanwhile, admirers from Kyrgyzstan toMongolia and from Congo to Peru were reported to have met topraise the former guerrilla leader's exploits.

Kim died suddenly in 1994 at the age of 82, one month aftermeeting former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, who had gone toPyongyang to help broker a deal to end the crisis over NorthKorea's nuclear weapons ambitions.

Born in Pyongyang in 1912, Kim fought in the mountains ofManchuria against colonial Japan. After the Japanese defeat atthe end of World War II, the Soviet Union installed him to rulethe northern half of the Korean peninsula.

His rule went unchallenged until his death, when his sonKim Jong-il inherited power as chairman of the powerfulNational Defense Commission. The junior Kim never took thetitle of president, in deference to his father.

A television documentary broadcast in North Korea on Fridayshowed previously unreleased footage of Kim Il-sung giving animpromptu rendition of a song that tells of yearning for one'smother.

"As I was leaving home/Mother stood weeping at thegate/Have a safe trip, she said/Her voice rings in my ears,"Kim sings, swinging his fist in time to the music as solemnparty officials look on.

The narrator in the documentary, showing Kim in his lateryears and carried on South Korea's Yonhap news agency Web site,said the song was a Kim favorite from his days as ananti-Japanese guerrilla chief.

While North Koreans in their tens of thousands visitedPyongyang landmarks on Friday to pay respects to the deadleader, several million others were believed to be starving indifferent parts of the country, human rights activists said.

International aid agency Caritas issued an urgent appealthis week for $2.5 million in donations to provide food,medical supplies and help for farms in the North.

North Korea did not completely sidestep the problem it hasin feeding its people.

It set an October deadline -- when the authorities willcelebrate the 60th anniversary of the ruling Workers' Party --"to bring new exaltation to all parts of the socialist economy,beginning in the agricultural front" so that the Octoberfestivities will take place "in joyous atmosphere."

"It was President Kim Il-sung's life-long dream to buildthe world's strongest nation," Seoul's Yonhap news agencyquoted the Workers' Party daily Rodong Sinmun as saying in aneditorial.
