It's a good idea to duct-tape layers of news papers to your legs particularly. Note how they go for your outer thighs.

Touching version here by Sinéad from the 1998album 'Across The Bridge Of Hope'
A benefit album for the 28 people who died in the terrorist bombing in the town of Omagh in 1998. Features 14 fitting tracks from top Irish artists,
The album is further augmented by two poems read by actor Liam Neeson. Seamus Heaney, Ireland's Nobel Laureate in Poetry, handpicked the first,"The Cure at Troy." The second poem, from which the album borrows its name, was penned by twelve-year-old Sean McLaughlin shortly before he was killed by in the bombing. It reads: "Orange and green it does not matter/United now, don't shatter our dream/Scatter the seeds of peace over our land/So we can travel, hand in hand/Across the bridge of hope."

All proceeds from the album will benefit the Omagh Memorial Trust, which was created to assist the families of the bomb's victims as well as any future memorials and related charities.

Lyrics
Chiquitita, tell me whats wrong
Youre enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that youre oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
Im a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, Im the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see youve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leaving
Youll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your loves a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that youre oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leaving
Youll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

When I first heard this song four months ago, the Libyan revolt was being crushed by the Army.

Who would have thought that when the rebels at Benghazi and Misratha in the east got bogged down on two fronts and couldn't defeat the mechanized army with small arms, even with the help of NATO, that these Berber tribesmen would win the day.

Their language was outlawed by Gadhafi, and their towns were occupied by Loyalist troops, so they took to guerrilla warfare and while the fighters in the east were locked in a stalemate, these mountain tribesmen would consolidate their forces and armed by the French - take town after town along the mountain range until they cleaned out the Gadhafi forces from the mountains. Then they - quickly moved across the desert and recaptured Zawiya, which had been freed and then reconquered twice.

Without stopping to regroup for even a day they then advanced on Tripoli and Green Square, which they renamed Martyr's Square.

They are the heroes of the Libyan Revolution.

And this is a beautiful song sung in their native Amazigh language,

sitting around a campfire, before they would liberate Tripoli - City of Mermaids.

No NATO, no CIA, no Oil. They sing they will fight and die for love & tranquility.

Amazigh campfire song

Translation (Sung in Amazigh):

Where do you want us to go?

Give me your hand

So we can go to Benghazi

The City of Freedom

So we can go to Zawiya

The City of Marytyrs

So we can go to Zintan

The City of Knights

And in the end Libya will be free, and we will live in love and tranquility

Revolutionaries in the Nafoosa Mountains, located south west of Tripoli, singtogether around a campfire. This region has been under bombardment by tanksshells and rockets after they rose up against Gaddafi's dictatorship.

الثوار في جادو يحرسون البوابات ويغنون أناشيد بالأمازيغية- تاوالت خاص

الثوار في مدينة يجادو يحرسونها ليل نهار وهم كلهم ايمان بعدالة قضيتهم وينتظرون النصرالقريب وهم ينشدون أغاني ثورية بالأمازيغية فكما يقولون :

أين تريد أن ندهب ؟

مدّ لي يدك

كي ندهب لمدينة بنغازي

مدينة الحرية

كي نذهب لمدينة الزاوية

مدينة الشهداء

كي ندهب لمدينة الزنتان

مدينة الفرسان

وفي الختام سوف تتحرر ليبيا ونعيش في حب ووئام .
