EVROPA | EUROPE
Ko sanjaš, | When you dream,
sežeš dlje | you reach further
Nisi več le meja, | You're no longer just a border,
geografija | geography
Ko sanjaš, | When you dream,
si lucidna | you're lucid
Brezmejna kot ideja, | Boundless as an idea,
domišljija | imagination
Tvoje sanje so ulice | Your dreams are streets
Vsak sèn je aleja, | Every dream is an alley,
veličastna avenija | a grand avenue
Sprehajam se med njimi, | I walk among them,
s soncem obsijan | sunlit
Diham svež zrak | Breathing fresh air
Gledam z boljšimi očmi | I look with better eyes
Tvoje srce poganja moj korak | Your heart drives my step
Ko ne sanjaš, | When you cease dreaming,
založiš zavest | you lose consciousness
Ogrneš se v mrak | You wrap yourself in darkness
Čemiš v mrtvilu | and languish
V sosedu | In neighbours
in rojaku | and compatriots,
spet zbudi se vrag, | the devil awakens again
hoja po rezilu | We tread the razor's edge
Tvoje srce emigrira, | Your heart emigrates,
išče obraz blag | seeking a clement face
Hrepeni po azilu | It longs for asylum
Zbudi se, Evropa, in sanjaj | Wake up, Europe, and dream
Dihaj svež zrak | Breathe fresh air
Gledaj z boljšimi očmi | Look with better eyes
Srce naj tvoje | Let your heart
poganja naš korak | drive our step

Odlično! Bodo kakšni posnetki tudi iz Žičke Kartuzije? Tisto je bilo nepozabno, eden najboljših koncertov v življenju.

Najlepša hvala, @koroskanekoc! Žal nimamo nobenih posnetkov iz koncerta.

Are you sure you wasn't inspired by Joost Klein? Thought the music is different, the overall message sounds oddly similar... The world is full of sinchronicities 💙
