En las décadas que siguieron a la de los 60’s, en Estados Unidos tuvieron
éxito las canciones de un género musical que allá se denominó “folk-rock”, o canción de protesta. Fueron las que acompañaron las movilizaciones
en contra de la guerra de Vietnam, el movimiento hippie, las luchas de los
negros y los chicanos. Tuvieron una marcada influencia del canto
latinoamericano. Aquí hemos hecho una recopilación de las canciones interpretadas
por Joan Baez, chicana, activista, sin duda una de las voces que más sonaron
entonces y que aún sacuden conciencias. En esta selección destacan las
coescritas por Joan Baez y Ennio Morricone para la
película sobre el juicio contra Nicola Sacco y Bartolomé Vanzetti, trabajadores
italianos migrantes en Estados Unidos en la década de los años 20’s del siglo
XX, juzgados y condenados por ser anarquistas, bajo falsas acusaciones. Medio
siglo después de ser ejecutados, el sistema judicial de los Estados Unidos
reconoció el “error criminal”.

(Lyrics by Joan Baez, Music by Ennio Morricone)
Father, yes, I am a prisoner
Fear not to relay my crime
The crime is loving the forsaken
Only silence is shame
And now I'll tell you what's against us
An art that's lived for centuries
Go through the years and you will find
What's blackened all of history
Against us is the law
With its immensity of strength and power
Against us is the law!
Police know how to make a man
A guilty or an innocent
Against us is the power of police!
The shameless lies that men have told
Will ever more be paid in gold
Against us is the power of the gold!
Against us is racial hatred
And the simple fact that we are poor
My father dear, I am a prisoner
Don't be ashamed to tell my crime
The crime of love and brotherhood
And only silence is shame
With me I have my love, my innocence,
The workers, and the poor
For all of this I'm safe and strong
And hope is mine
Rebellion, revolution don't need dollars
They need this instead
Imagination, suffering, light and love
And care for every human being
You never steal, you never kill
You are a part of hope and life
The revolution goes from man to man
And heart to heart
And I sense when I look at the stars
That we are children of life
Death is small
Father, yes, I am a prisoner
Fear not to relay my crime
The crime is loving the forsaken
Only silence is shame
And now I'll tell you what's against us
An art that's lived for centuries
Go through the years and you will find
What's blackened all of history
Against us is the law
With its immensity of strength and power
Against us is the law!
Police know how to make a man
A guilty or an innocent
Against us is the power of police!
The shameless lies that men have told
Will ever more be paid in gold
Against us is the power of the gold!
Against us is racial hatred
And the simple fact that we are poor
My father dear, I am a prisoner
Don't be ashamed to tell my crime
The crime of love and brotherhood
And only silence is shame
With me I have my love, my innocence,
The workers, and the poor
For all of this I'm safe and strong
And hope is mine
Rebellion, revolution don't need dollars
They need this instead
Imagination, suffering, light and love
And care for every human being
You never steal, you never kill
You are a part of hope and life
The revolution goes from man to man
And heart to heart
And I sense when I look at the stars
That we are children of life
Death is small
Blowing in the wind
