גטו

2014
*בעקבות השיר "גטו" של מילאן מלדנוביץ', 1984

תראו איזה נוף מדהים.
מסך עשן, מחסומים,
מסביב גדרות תיל, חומה מבטון,
אנחנו בנינו אותם להרגיש בטחון.
בינתיים אף אחד לא הבחין
אנחנו הנמצאים בגטו
בדיוק בזמן להבין,
איך באמת היה בגטו.
ורשה.
פולין.

Jastrebi prenisko lete

Gledam to jato jastreba, kočopere se na stazi,
upravo se umire, u Izraelu, u Gazi,
a jastrebi se šetkaju, nijedan dalje da leti,
ovo je moja zemlja, za koju će golubi mrijeti,
jer jasno je da sam ja jastreb,
a on je svemoćna ptica,
dočim to krdo goluba, to su nebitna lica,
njima pobij golubiće, i krenuće slijepo da ginu
za tvoju konačnu korist i povijesnu veličinu,
izgubiće sve što imaju, a nisu ni imali mnogo,
prsima će na bombe, da se susretnu s bogom,
ubijaće jedni druge, to im je komplementarnost,
dok jastrebi vječno vladaju,
i ostaju premoćna stvarnost,
izruguju humanizam, podstiču fanatizam,
žrtvuju tuđe i svoje, jer bitan je pragmatizam,
ruše svačije gnijezdo, i čine to slamku po slamku,
a te što ne mrze nikog, trpaju složno u raku,
jer ne treba jastrebu takav, da širi defetizam,
jastreb je željan plijena, i prezire pacifizam,
jastreb se hrani mesom goluba koji gine,
jastreb se tome smije, ah vidi gozbe fine,
dok nad njim nisko slijeće,
dok ga u kandže lovi,
dok leš mu baca na smeće,
dok mu se mesom tovi,
dok usput stalno krešti
one šećerne fraze
da milost božja bliješti
na djecu-kamikaze,
da je potrebno klati,
pa neka i drugi pati,
i bombe unatrag slati,
jer primi, pa onda vrati,
dok tako nam jastrebi vele
i tamo nas oni nose,
naše su nevažne želje,
njihove naše kose,
za njih treba ubijati
za njih se mora mrijeti,
za jastreba koji nas prati,
i usput prenisko leti.

Gledam ih tamo jato, keze se tamo na stazi,
upravo majke plaču, u Izraelu, u Gazi,
njihova djeca su mrtva, ubijaju ih k’o muhe,
i dobrodošla su žrtva, mole na uši gluhe,
njima ne pripada ništa, čak ni njihova glava,
jer otkako svijeta i vijeka to je istina prava,
golubi samo postoje da hrane strojeve bojne,
djeca da im se uzmu, i šalju u redove vojne,
jer jastrebu tako paše, da ubija i njih i naše,
da se sveti, da prijeti,
da uvijek nisko leti,
taj jastreb je ptica zlica,
i kočoperi se na stazi,
i gorko plaču majke
u Izraelu i Gazi.

NOW YOU WILL PAY - LAIBACH

BARBARIANS ARE COMING
CRAWLING FROM THE EAST,
(WITH THEIR) EYES WIDE SHUT
AND NOSTRILS FULL OF LONGING,
EPIC AND POWERFUL,
WILD IN A GROUP,
BARBARIANS ARE COMING
FROM THE EAST.
THEY'LL COME OUT OF NOWHERE,
THEY'LL ENTER YOUR STATE,
THE NATION OF LOSERS,
THE TRIBE FULL OF HATE.
WITH KNIVES IN THEIR POCKETS
AND BOMBS IN THEIR HANDS,
THEY'LL BURN DOWN YOUR CITIES
AND YOUR DISNEYLANDS.

BARBARIANS ARE COMING, HEADING YOUR WAY.
THE EVIL IS RISING, KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY.

WITH THIRD WORLD HUNGER,
SEX DRIVE IN THEIR BRAINS,
THEY'LL WHISPER YOUR NAMES
AND SCREAM IN YOUR FACE.
WHEN THEY SEARCH FOR THEIR SPACE,
THEY'LL TURN INTO SNAKES,
AND YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD
IF THEY CRAWL IN YOUR BED.

BARBARIANS ARE COMING, HEADING YOUR WAY.
THE EVIL IS RISING INTO YOUR DAY.
BARBARIANS ARE COMING, HEADING YOUR WAY.
THE EVIL IS RISING, KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY.

THEY'LL CONQUER YOUR COUNTRY
AND MAKE YOU ALL SLAVES,
THEY'LL BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSES
AND RAVE AT YOUR GRAVES.
YOU'D BETTER GET READY,
YOU'D BETTER BEWARE.
BANGING AT YOUR WINDOWS,
BARBARIANS ARE HERE

BARBARIANS ARE COMING, HEADING YOUR WAY.
THE EVIL IS RISING, KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY.
BARBARIANS ARE COMING, HEADING YOUR WAY.
WHATEVER YOU TOOK FROM THEM -
NOW YOU WILL PAY
