Based on Slovenia 1997
Tanja Ribič — Zbudi se
Sound of sudden rumble
Somewhere out at sea
One night in November
Nineteen sixty three
Startled fish saw
Lava pluming from the deep
Once things cooled down
Then an island had appeared
Soon a host of lichens
Then came seals and moss
Poop from hoards of puffins
Fertilized the soil
Since that moment
Iceland gained another realm
Old norse giant
Kindly let it take his name
Brand new land has emerged
Desolate, but that could change
Who knows what the future holds?
With so many possibles
Brand new land, could it be?
A grand Eurofan Resort?
We could move there when we're old
Spend our days in blissfulness
Brand new land, take your pick:
Pub Yaz Bitti, Hotel Mess
Swim the Sonia hot spring pool
Hike across Mount Coco-dance
Such great plans…
(Ah ah ah…)
Slow erosion
Takes back what the ocean gave
Surtsey withers
Soon sleeps far beneath the waves
