[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Stefan Rovics
[00:10.753] The famine had affected many people
[00:13.361] From Ireland to the shores of the Baltic Sea
[00:16.058] The soaring cost of food meant it took most of your earnings
[00:18.783] Which meant the shutting down of much of industry
[00:21.340] But no one knows for sure why the rebellion began
[00:24.060] Or why it quickly spread from state to state
[00:26.496] When in the mountains and the plains, from Galway to Ukraine
[00:29.299] Came the Rising of 1848
[00:32.630] 1848
[00:37.461] A pitchfork guess no match for a rifle
[00:39.961] But there's nothing that will give the king a fright
[00:42.721] As when he looks out of the window
[00:45.493] And sees his castle burning in the night
[00:48.049] But that's what happened in fifty different countries
[00:50.605] Where the landlords oft encountered such a fate
[00:53.457] From Budapest to Sicily life would never be the same
[00:55.747] After the Rising of 1848
[00:58.020] 1848
[01:03.954] Marx and Engels wrote a book which spread as quickly as the flames
[01:06.613] From which the feudal barons had to flee
[01:09.190] From the workers in the cities, from the peasants in the towns
[01:12.109] And even from the petit bourgeoisie
[01:14.798] United for a time by a common sense of purpose
[01:17.196] To finally throw off the crushing weight of the dynastic rule of hereditary Lords
[01:22.786] Who owned the Europe of 1848
[01:28.003] 1848
[01:31.067] Tens of thousands died before it all was over
[01:33.466] And some say it all ended in defeat
[01:35.831] But the landscape was transformed when serfdom was abolished
[01:38.776] Which is why we don't see history repeat
[01:41.278] And the monarchs remembered when peasants with pitchforks
[01:44.204] Came to burn down their estate
[01:46.765] And most of them decided democracy was better
[01:49.257] Than the Rising of 1848
