On Thursday afternoon, Nancy Pelosi hosted President Biden’s “Friends of Ireland” annual dinner that Congressmen hold each year in Washington on St. Patrick’s Day. Patrick’s Day. In a video of the event that circulated the web, we can see Pelosi announce that she received a special message from Bono. “For most of us, no matter where we are, Bono has always been a very Irish part of our lives,” the House of Representatives announcer joked, then proceeded to read the occasional poem.
Bono on St. Patrick’s Day: Irish sadness and pain is now Ukraine
In the text, Bono refers to the famous legend according to which St. Patrick exterminated the snakes in Ireland that were wreaking havoc in the country. The author then states that the serpent is a symbol of “the evil that is born and hides in the heart when it breaks”. In the next verse we read that “evil arose out of darkness, which lives in some people.” Further Bono writes:
Ale w sorku i fearu / They can appear saints / To drive those old snakes out again / I fight for our freedom / From a psychopath from our human family / Irish sadness and pain is now Ukraine / A saint Patryk is called Zelenski
The audience’s reaction to the audience was livelier than nervous laughter with a clear gesture. Pelosi herself chuckled gently at the finale and invited the audience to watch Riverdance’s dance performance:
Earlier, on March 5, a post appeared on the Instagram profile of the U2 team: “The world is watching. Ukrainians teach the rest of the world what freedom looks like, what freedom is, and most importantly, how freedom works. The tyrant of the neighborhood will not win. God bless God bless the rest of the world. your poetic souls. We remember you in prayer. ” Bono added these words to his melorecitation of a poem by Taras Shevchenko, which in Józef Łobodowski’s translation is entitled “To the dead and alive and unborn countrymen of mine in Ukraine and beyond Ukraine, my friendly epistle”.
