    Meta Kušar

    Side by side

    21.

    How terrible to lose the share
    of being human.
    Hirelings on horseback, princes on foot.
    Do you think you can live that simply ?
    Listen. Over and
    again the aria is beautiful.

    21.

    Kako grozno je izgubljati dediščino
    resničnega človeka.
    Hlapci na konjih, knezi pa peš.
    Bi rad živel enostavno?
    Poslušaj jo.
    Znova in znova je arija lepa.
