Fiŝoj en la dezerto by Krysztof Daletski — Lyrics
Se de la varmego flaviĝis ĉiu herbo,
Se la racio foriris kun la verdo,
Se sablo de malhonestaĵo kovras ĉion,
Se nomas neniu plej longa la plej longan strion,
Se vi sentas vin kiel fiŝo en la dezerto,
Se restas nur svaga memoro pri akva sperto:
Malfermu vian buŝon, kaj aŭskultu la resonadon
De aliaj fiŝoj flustrantaj sub la sablo,
Kiuj dolore sopiras kiel vi, kiel vi:
Al la oceano.

About Fiŝoj en la dezerto
This secular work for STB voices in Esperanto paints a stark and evocative scene of desolation. The lyrics describe a world where hope has withered, truth is obscured by sand or ice, and individuals feel adrift, like a fish in a desert or a leech in ice. It speaks to a shared sense of suffering and a yearning for something more, a collective sigh for an 'ocean' or a 'sunbeam.' The music aims to capture this feeling of profound isolation and the quiet desperation that arises when familiar comforts disappear, replaced by a barren landscape. It is a poignant reflection on hardship and the search for solace in seemingly hopeless circumstances.
