Domovini - To homeland
This song for men's choir is again full of national awareness. benjamin lived and worked in Austria, in town called Graz, so this song is really outflow of his love for homeland.

Be well, my homeland,
you beautiful, you only,
the paradise on earth to me!

Foreign customs, foreign people
are just friends and not brothers,
only slavic emotion - glory,
can give joy to my heart.

take my whole heart,
dear fatherland, as a gift,
if only you always will be my home,
never forgotten!



Sung by Slovenian chamber Choir, led by Mirko Cuderman. Soloists are tenor Marjan Trček and baritone Jože Vidic. Recorded in Slovene Filharmony in 2003.
