Luyện nghe bài hát Laibach-apologie

Seit wann, Soehne der Wahrheit, seid ihr der Nacht?
Was hat eure blutrot gemacht?
Der Ausbruch in der Nacht ist die des Leids,
mit ihr kann entschuldigt sein.
zerschlagen laesst sich der Luegenaltar, der Altar
der die Form immerdar.
Bildnis, Lichter ohne Pein,
schauriger Schutz allein
Des Kinder sind wir und Brueder der Nacht,
Versprechen nicht zustande gebracht.
Wir sind schwarze von dieser Welt,
besingen des Kummers Gestalt
Die Erlaeuterung ist die Peitsche, und du tropfest
Zum hundertsten Male zersplittert der der Welt,
eure Mueh' ist vergeblich; wir die Nacht ueberwunden.
Unsre ist beglichen
und das Licht
(Laibach
Since when, sons of Truth, are you of the Night?
What has made your blood red?
The outbreak in the night is the flower of [?],
nothing can be by that.
The altar of lies will not be broken, the
multiplies the form forever.
Immaculate portrait, of light [?] without pain,
only protection for horrible
We are children of the ghost [spirit] and of the Night,
does not keep its promises. [?]
We are spirits of this world,
we extol the mad shape of
The is the whip, and you drip of blood:
Break the mirror of the world for the time,
your hardship is in vain; we defeated the Night.
Our is paid
and is the light)
("Laibach-Apologie" (or "Apologija Laibach" as the Slovenian
is called) was written in 1982 by then frontman of the band, Tomaz
Hostnik, who committed suicide in December that year. I it was his
suicide note. It doesn't appear as a song on album, only as a poem
(translated into German) in the CD booklet, but it appears on at
three other albums. A live version is found on "Baptism - Krst Pod
Triglavom" (their score for a theatre production). A version is
found on "Trans Express", a 1994 collection of Slovenian bands
covering Kraftwerk songs, and on the album "Slovenska Akropola",
in former Yugoslavia only.)
(There is a much better English in the book "Neue Slowenische
Kunst", but I have it.)
