[Use enharmonic synemmenon dromos hitzaz mode with çıkıcı-İnici seyir for all harmonic elements. Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.] [Male voice A - Милош, male, serbian construction worker: gruff maqam bass-baritone with prominent buhha and squillo, microtonal bends, melismatic, zero rapping, slow, deliberate shirabyoshi phrasing.] [Male voice B: Felix - male: german construction foreman: german lied light lyric tenor. Delivery: smooth legato, measured, clear diction. Sings fluently in all languages cited.] [Male voice C: Pigeon - male: narrator: snarky buffo bass. Delivery: smooth legato, measured, clear diction. Sings fluently in all languages cited.] [choral elements: construction workers choir: drunken kakegoe shouts.] [Lyrics in serbian, french, english and german] [Dynamics swell - full ensemble *including drums* joins immediately on beat 1] [Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo] [All vorspiels are the same copy/pasted from the opener, ghammaz section is the only one that changes the pattern.] [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 1] [Pigeon, further "P":] Is it just me, Or do you also Have the impression, Dear audience, That Miloš barges Far too often In Felix's Office? Let's not jump to conclusions, Afore the resolution. He just had a nightly mare, Woke up in sweat. Tachycardia and trembling legs Brought him right there. This is a sign from heaven. Yes, to say this I dare. You can't make me take it back, No, dear audience, This one knows its limits. That is because I break them Everyday. No one there! Where did Felix go? [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] [Miloš, further "M":] Фелиција!... Де си бре?.... [P:] Не одзивље се... But what is this, Lying on the table. He slowly picks it up And his gaze doth fall Upon an unique rendition Of himself. Sharp shadows enhance His jawline And his stubble Meticulously Rendered So lifelike. His profile as greek As a Serb can be, His hands more artistic Than in reality. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 3] [Felix, further "F":] What are you doing here? [M:] Admiring. [F:] You shouldn't have seen that. [M:] Не сери, Фелиција! Далеко било I am this kind of пешко. I'll give you a chance To make up for this mistake. [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [P:] And in the pale moonlight Seeping through the windows Doth he suddenly glisten - With otherworldly light, In all of its balkanic might. Betraying his shallow breath, This sudden change of state, Not present When in he came. [M:] You better do it properly now, Ил' ћу те излупам ко џезву. Pay attention Not to miss any detail. Verstanden? [F:] Ganz bestimmt! [Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [start fade out, slow down] [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] [Verse 4] [P:] I confess I'd be terribly bored Were it not for the smirk On the bear's face And the tip of the tongue On Felix's tightly Pressed lips. Lo! It is done. The bear grabs it, And presses against his chest, Uttering this Before disappearing. [M:] I have to go back to Serbia soon, So you won't mind I'll be taking this. За успомену и дуго сећање. Zur Erinnerung und zum langen Gedächtnis. Vielen Dank, Фелиција ! Tschüss!!! [Outro] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [end]
