Luyện nghe bài hát Laibach-apologie

Seit wann, Soehne der Wahrheit, seid ihr Brueder der
Was hat eure blutrot gemacht?
Der Ausbruch in der ist die Bluete des Leids,
mit ihr kann entschuldigt sein.
Nicht zerschlagen laesst der Luegenaltar, der Altar
der die Form immerdar.
Unbeflecktes Bildnis, Lichter Pein,
schauriger Schutz allein
Des Geistes Kinder wir und Brueder der Nacht,
deren Versprechen nicht gebracht.
Wir sind Geister von dieser Welt,
besingen des Kummers Gestalt
Die ist die Peitsche, und du tropfest Blut:
Zum hundertsten Male der Spiegel der Welt,
eure Mueh' ist vergeblich; wir die Nacht ueberwunden.
Unsre Schuld ist
und unser das
(Laibach
Since when, sons of Truth, are you of the Night?
What has made your hands blood
The outbreak in the is the flower of pain [?],
nothing can be by that.
The altar of lies not be broken, the altar
multiplies the form forever.
Immaculate portrait, bringer of [?] without pain,
protection for horrible nights
We are children of the ghost and brothers of the Night,
does not keep its promises. [?]
We are spirits of this world,
we the mad shape of sorrow
The is the whip, and you drip of blood:
Break the of the world for the hundredth time,
your is in vain; we have defeated the Night.
Our debt is
and is the light)
("Laibach-Apologie" (or "Apologija Laibach" as the original
version is called) was written in 1982 by then of the band, Tomaz
Hostnik, who committed suicide in that year. I believe it was his
suicide note. It doesn't as a song on this album, only as a poem
(translated into German) in the CD booklet, but it on at least
three other Laibach albums. A 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",
released in Yugoslavia only.)
(There is a much better English in the book "Neue Slowenische
Kunst", but I have it.)
