EUROPA

EUROPA

 

Kidnapped upon taurine spine,                                                                 

And whipped across the sea.

 

On lands unknown delivered,

Betrayed deceitfully.

 

With warm embrace she was seduced,

But all was just a ploy by Zeus.

 

Thus Europa our mother became,

And gave us future, faith, and name.

 

We belong to her and her ideals,

To common European appeals.

EVROPA

 

Na bikovem hrbtu ugrabljena,

čez morje prepeljana.

 

Na neznani zemlji zapuščena,

osamljena, izdana.

 

V lepega mladeniča objem zavedena,

bila je vse Zevsova ukana.

 

In tako mati vsem je Evropa postala,

nam dala prihodnost, v nas verovala.

 

Zatorej njej pripadamo,

v evropskem duhu skupaj spadamo.
