Luyện nghe bài hát Laibach-apologie

Seit wann, Soehne der Wahrheit, ihr Brueder der Nacht?
Was hat eure blutrot gemacht?
Der Ausbruch in der ist die Bluete des Leids,
mit ihr kann nichts sein.
Nicht laesst sich der Luegenaltar, der Altar
der die vervielfacht immerdar.
Unbeflecktes Bildnis, ohne Pein,
schauriger Schutz allein
Des Kinder sind wir und Brueder der Nacht,
deren Versprechen nicht 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 Mueh' ist vergeblich; wir haben die ueberwunden.
Unsre ist beglichen
und das Licht

The outbreak in the night is the flower of [?],
nothing can be by that.
The of lies will not be broken, the altar
that the form forever.
Immaculate portrait, bringer of light [?] pain,
only for horrible nights
We are of the ghost [spirit] and brothers of the Night,
that does not its promises. [?]
We are black of this world,
we the mad shape of sorrow
The is the whip, and you drip of blood:
Break the mirror of the for the hundredth time,
your hardship is in vain; we have the Night.
Our is paid
and is the light)
("Laibach-Apologie" (or "Apologija Laibach" as the Slovenian
version is called) was written in by then frontman of the band, Tomaz
Hostnik, who suicide 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 albums. A live version is found on "Baptism - Krst Pod
Triglavom" (their for a theatre production). A studio version is
found on "Trans Slovenia Express", a collection of Slovenian bands
covering Kraftwerk songs, and on the album "Slovenska Akropola",
released in Yugoslavia only.)
(There is a better English translation in the book "Neue Slowenische
Kunst", but I don't it.)
