Luyện nghe bài hát Laibach-apologie

Seit wann, Soehne der Wahrheit, seid ihr der Nacht?
Was hat eure Haende blutrot
Der Ausbruch in der ist die Bluete des Leids,
mit ihr nichts entschuldigt sein.
zerschlagen laesst sich der Luegenaltar, der Altar
der die vervielfacht immerdar.
Bildnis, Lichter ohne Pein,
schauriger Schutz allein
Des Kinder sind wir und Brueder der Nacht,
deren Versprechen nicht gebracht.
Wir sind schwarze von dieser Welt,
besingen des Kummers verrueckte
Die Erlaeuterung ist die Peitsche, und du tropfest
Zum hundertsten Male der Spiegel der Welt,
Mueh' ist vergeblich; wir haben die Nacht ueberwunden.
Unsre Schuld ist
und das Licht
(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 lies not be broken, the altar
that the form forever.
Immaculate portrait, bringer of light [?] pain,
only protection for nights
We are children of the ghost and brothers of the Night,
that not keep its promises. [?]
We are black of this world,
we the mad shape of sorrow
The explanation is the whip, and you drip of
Break the mirror of the world for the time,
hardship is in vain; we have defeated the Night.
Our is paid
and is the light)
("Laibach-Apologie" (or "Apologija Laibach" as the original
version is called) was written in 1982 by frontman of the band, Tomaz
Hostnik, who committed in December that year. I believe it was his
suicide note. It appear as a song on this album, only as a poem
(translated German) in the CD booklet, but it appears on at least
three other Laibach albums. A version is found on "Baptism - Krst Pod
Triglavom" (their score for a theatre production). A studio is
found on "Trans Express", a 1994 collection of Slovenian bands
covering Kraftwerk songs, and on the 1987 "Slovenska Akropola",
released in Yugoslavia only.)
(There is a much better English in the book "Neue Slowenische
Kunst", but I have it.)
