Pravljica O Mavricnih Ljudeh

Šank Rock · Sank rock: 1982 - 2002

Pravljica o mavričnih ljudeh,
čar teme, žalost mrtvih je greh,
Pravljica za mavrične ljudi,
nemi krik, kot odmev nemoči,
v srcu poraz, v senci obraz preteklosti.
Odprta kot knjiga njihova je pot,
živi zid iz viharnih zablod.
Umrle so sanje mavričnih ljudi,
ognja žar pod pepelom še tli,
mavrica spet ga rodi.
Pravljica o mavričnih ljudeh,
dih noči, v ogledalu posmeh,
Pravljica za mavrične ljudi,
kot spomin, ki počasi bledi,
v srcu poraz, v senci obraz preteklosti.
Odprta kot knjiga njihova je pot,
živi zid iz viharnih zablod.
Umrle so sanje mavričnih ljudi,
ognja žar pod pepelom še tli,
spet se rodi!
Odprta kot knjiga njihova je pot,
živi zid iz viharnih zablod.
Umrle so sanje mavričnih ljudi,
ognja žar pod pepelom še tli,
mavrica spet ga rodi.

Pravljica O Mavricnih Ljudeh

"Pravljica o mavri?nih ljudeh" is a song that uses a fairy tale to tell a painful truth. The track, by Slovenian band ?ank Rock, is a socially conscious song that opens with a striking image: "Pravljica o mavri?nih ljudeh / ?ar teme, ?alost mrtvih je greh" ? "A fairy tale about rainbow people / the magic of darkness, the sadness of the dead is a sin."

The lyrics describe a mute scream, an echo of helplessness, and a defeat in the heart. It is a song about the people who are left behind, the ones who do not fit into the fairy tale. It is a song that is both poetic and political, and it is delivered with the kind of intensity that ?ank Rock is known for.

The production is raw and energetic, with a rock sound that matches the song's urgency. It is the kind of song that demands attention, and it is easy to imagine it becoming a favorite among fans of Slovenian rock.

What stays with me is how the song refuses to look away. It is a song about the uncomfortable truths that we often ignore, and it is delivered with a sense of urgency that is hard to shake.
