Apologija Laibach / Laibach-Apologie (original)

Od kdaj, sinovi resnice, ste bratje noči?
Kaj roke vaše s krvjo rdeči?
Eksplozija v noči je roža gorja
Opravičiti z njo se ničesar ne da
Razbiti mogoče oltarja ni
Oltarja laži, ki oblike množi
Brezmadežna slika, brezbolne luči
Edina zavetja srhljivih noči
Otroci duha smo in bratje moči
Katere obljuka se ne izvrši
Smo črni duhovi od tega sveta
Opevarno noro podobo gorja
Razlaga je bič in ti krvaviš:
Po stotič razbijte zrcalo sveta, —
Vaš trud je zaman.
Presegli smo noč:
Naš dolg je poplačan
In naša je luč!

(translation)

Since when, sons of truth, have you been brothers of the night?
What makes your hands red with blood?
An explosion in the night is a flower of misery
There is nothing to apologize for with her
It is not possible to break the altar
An altar of lies that multiplies forms
Immaculate image, painless lights
The only shelter of creepy nights
We are children of the spirit and brothers of power
Which promises are not made
We are black ghosts of this world
Opevarno crazy image of the mountains
The explanation is a whip and you bleed:
Break the mirror of the world for the hundredth time, -
Your efforts are in vain.
We exceeded the night:
Our debt has been repaid
And ours is the light!
