U plavu zoru - Pink Martini ft. China Forbes | Live from Portland - 2021

Pink Martini is on tour in 2022! Tickets are on sale now at:
pinkmartini.com...
Excerpted from Pink Martini's live concert at Edgefield in Portland, "U plavu zoru" is an original Pink Martini song in Croatian, which bandleader Thomas Lauderdale and Pink Martini co-wrote with Thomas's Croatian neighbor Mario Lalich, first heard on the band's second album, "Hang on Little Tomato." Filmed on a rainy day in September 2021, soon after the band started touring again after a long hiatus during quarantine, this video is excerpted from an epic 3-hour concert that will be broadcast starting May 7, for Mother's Day weekend, on ourconcerts.live. This performance features Pansy Chang on cello, China Forbes on lead vocals, and Thomas Barber on trumpet.
When the band joins in with Pansy Chang's cello, the music is meant to evoke a train accelerating as it leaves a station. This train is referenced in the song's lyrics as well (in Croatian below followed by English translation).
This song was recently featured in the new Netflix film, The Weekend Away (2022).
LYRICS
Tiha noć
Sjene su u bijegu
Ja čujem zvuk
Šta bliže zove me
U plavu zoru
Sa svjetlom tu
Na moja vrata
Ti stižeš
Nači češ
Praznu postelju moju
Dok vlak nosi
Me daleko
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Quiet night
Shadows escaping
I hear a sound
Calling me closer
In the blue dawn
With light approaching
To my doorstep
When you come
You will find
My bed empty
While the train carries
Me far away

[@georgiafan6618]

It was revealed to me that most of us will not make it to heaven. Almost no one. Repentance is a gift we have from His blood on the cross. We must repent often and turn from our sin, once we identify our sin(s). How do we know if we have truly repented, really forgiven someone, have offered to say what we assume is the right thing and not influenced someone to do the wrong thing? If I had a dream like this man had, I too would be terrified after I woke. I don’t want to go to hell nor do I wish it on anyone. I pray my forgiveness is real bc I know bitterness and retribution remains and prevents me from growing in God’s love. Thank you for this video. ❤

Music great as always. In this video sound and image are not synchronised. The image is lagging behind a bit, while we are used to it being the other way around.
