@SONG: Nova Akropola (The New Acropolis)

(Slovenian)

Mi vsi smo krizani, clani izbrani mesarskega ceha,
compagna dei maccella: eja, eja, alala!

Ne razpihumjo ognja iz ust zivali, bojmo se zanamcev,
skrivajmo svoje namene: eja, eja, alala!

Izostrimo cute, eja, eja, veter zge med zitom, eja,
eja, nase meso disi po ozganem: eja, eja, alala!

Namenili smo si Veliko Strast: KDO DVOMI O STRASNI
MOCI TEH ROGOV!

(English)

We are all crucified, chosen members of the
butcher's guild, compagna dei maccella: eja,
eja, alala!

Let's not blow the fire from the mouth of the
beast, let's fear the progeny, hide our
intentions: eja, eja, alala!

Let's sharpen our senses, eja, eja, the wind is
burning in the wheat, eja, eja, our flesh smells
scorched: eja, eja, alala!

We destined the Great Lust for ourselves:
WHO DOUBTS THE TERRIBLE POWER OF THESE HORNS!

@SONG: Krvava Gruda-Plodna Zemlja (Bloody Ground-Fertile Land)

(Slovenian)

Socna je zemlja v vecerni goreci luci, strast blaznih 
ocetov nas do zadnjega muci.

Dali so nam oci, da v njih se pijanost pretaka, dali so 
nam roke, gresne plodove mrake.

Ljubimo zemljo bolestno, kakor so oni ljubili, ljubimo 
nijh sive glave, plodnost so nam podelili.

KRVAVA GRUDA-PLODNA ZEMLJA.

(English)

Rich is the earth in the burning evening light,
the passion of our mad fathers is tormenting
us to the last.

They gave us eyes that drunkeness decants
inside them, they gave us hands- the sinful
fruits of twilight

We love our land sorrowfully as they loved it
their grey heads we love, fertility they gave
us.

BLOODY GROUND-FERTILE LAND.

@SONG: Vojna Poema (War Poem)

(Slovenian)

V vetru nocoj bomo spali, v vetru, ki divje se smeje,
morda nam bodo oblaki- rjuhe edine odeje.

Pala na roke, obleke, prva, druga bo kaplja, v noc cez 
mocvirno poseko zakricala bo caplja.

Trsi spiral bo lica, mocil nam usta s krpo, noc nam bo 
z mrzlim nozem rezala crnega kruha.

Svoje misli tehtali bomo kot prhle veje, dokler nam 
soncna zarja zemlje, src ne ogreje.

V soncu bo hosta zapela, hosta in pesem vojna:
Brat moj, ne skrivaj lica, danes je vojna, VOJNA!

(English)

We're going to sleep in the wind tonight, in the
wind, who is laughing, wildly, and maybe the
clouds, these white sheets, will be our only
blankets.

On hands and clothes the first, then second
drops of rain will fall.
In the night through the swampy clearing a
heron will cry out.

The stronger one will wash our faces and
moisten our lips with a rag and the night with
a cold knife will cut us black bread.

We will weigh up our thoughts like rotten
branches, until the sunny dawn warms the
ground and our hearts.

The underwood will wake up in the sun and
war will begin its song again: Brother of mine,
Don't hide your face, today is war, it's WAR today!

@SONG: Drzava (The State)

(Slovenian)

Drzava skrbi za zascito, dvig in izkoriscanje gozdov.

Drzava skrbi za fizicno vzgojo ljudstva, posebno mladine,
v svrho dviganja narodnega zdravja, narodne, delovne in
obrambne sposobnosti.

Ravna cedalje bolj popustljivo, dopusca se vsa svoboda. 
Oblast je pri nas ljudska.

"Mi smo more krvi prolili za bratstvo i jedinstvo nasih 
naroda: e, necemo nikome dozvoliti da nam dira ili da nam
ruje iznutra da se rusi to bratstvo i jedinstvo...."
                                          
                                         Josip Broz-Tito

OBLAST JE PRI NAS LJUDSKA!

(English)

The state is taking care of the protection,
cultivation and exploitation of the forests.

The state is taking care of the physical
education of the nation, especially of the
youth, with the aim of improving the nation's
health and national, working and defensive
capability.

Its treatment is becoming more and more
indulgent, all freedom is tolerated.  Our
authority is that of the people.

"We decant a sea of bloodshed for brotherhood
and the equality of our nation and we are not
going to allow anyone to touch, to uproot from
inside or to destroy in any way this
brotherhood and equality..."
                             Josip Broz-TITO

OUR AUTHORITY IS THAT OF THE PEOPLE!

@SONG: Panorama

(English)

Both those in the East and those in the West
should be clear with the fact that we are not
moving away from the road that we beat the path
for in 48. That is to say we have our own way,
we always say what is right on this side and
what is not, and what is right on the other side
and what is not.
It should be clear to everyone that we cannot
be no ones appendage of nobody's politics, that
we have our own point of view and that we know
the worth of what is right and what is not right.
