Luyện nghe bài hát Laibach-apologie

Seit wann, Soehne der Wahrheit, seid ihr der Nacht?
Was hat Haende blutrot gemacht?
Der Ausbruch in der Nacht ist die des Leids,
mit ihr kann nichts sein.
Nicht zerschlagen sich der Luegenaltar, der Altar
der die Form immerdar.
Bildnis, Lichter ohne Pein,
schauriger Naechte allein
Des Kinder sind wir und Brueder der Nacht,
deren nicht zustande gebracht.
Wir sind schwarze von dieser Welt,
des Kummers verrueckte Gestalt
Die Erlaeuterung ist die Peitsche, und du tropfest
Zum Male zersplittert der Spiegel der Welt,
eure ist vergeblich; wir haben die Nacht ueberwunden.
Unsre Schuld ist
und unser das
(Laibach
Since when, of Truth, are you brothers of the Night?
has made your hands blood red?
The outbreak in the is the flower of pain [?],
can be excused by that.
The altar of will not be broken, the altar
multiplies the form forever.
Immaculate portrait, of light [?] without pain,
only protection for horrible
We are children of the [spirit] and brothers of the Night,
that does not its promises. [?]
We are spirits of this world,
we the mad shape of sorrow
The explanation is the whip, and you of blood:
Break the mirror of the world for the time,
your hardship is in vain; we have the Night.
Our is paid
and is the light)
("Laibach-Apologie" (or "Apologija Laibach" as the original
is called) was written in 1982 by then frontman of the band, Tomaz
Hostnik, who suicide in December that year. I believe it was his
note. It doesn't appear as a song on this album, only as a poem
(translated into German) in the CD booklet, but it appears on at
three other Laibach albums. A live version is on "Baptism - Krst Pod
Triglavom" (their score for a theatre production). A version is
found on "Trans Slovenia Express", a 1994 of Slovenian bands
covering songs, and on the 1987 album "Slovenska Akropola",
released in Yugoslavia only.)
(There is a much better translation in the book "Neue Slowenische
Kunst", but I don't it.)
