Viktor Koželj: Ode to the Homeland
Beloved homeland, thou art now free / yet enemies keep a hold on thee. /
The inner ones dig and the outer ones rattle / thou art in great peril from the world’s prattle. /
The coffers are empty and debt is great / the language declining like export from state. /
The filth of all levels now sullies the country / more order and discipline cries the heart of the gentry. /
Enough of this ordure, enough and too much / we’ll no longer play open borders as such! /
Let’s strengthen the civil protection some more / unite our people in revolt for us all. /
The people are with thee, comrade admiral / fear not when executing the coup d’.tat.
The production won the Grand Prix as the best production at this year’s FIST (Festival of International Student Theatre) in Belgrade.
