about

You are cordially invited to Mimika Orchestra's infinite feast in the Mediterranean, taking place at Altur Mur, a vision of cultural and personal reinvention captured on Mimika's 4th studio album released in October 2022.

Fondo, the first single from the new album, captures the image of big waves and the soul striving for the sun, reminiscing about the eternal struggle of looking for our own way through the restless waves of life.

lyrics

Vela marea, vela marea, fondo
Duša gre za suncen, a fondo

Fondo, fondo, ćapala me je luna
fondo fondo, ki će mi dušu umit?
Ki vo više more tarpit?
Duša gre za suncen

Vela je marea, vela je marea, fondo
Vela je mare, duša gre za suncen, fondo

Move away, I’ve nowhere to go ( drop anchor)
Who can stand this any longer? (drop anchor)

Crushing waves, crushing waves (drop anchor)
Soul follows the sun, (going) home

(Drop anchor, drop anchor) I got caught by the moon (I’m in bad mood)
Drop anchor, drop anchor, who will wash my soul?
Who can stand this any longer?
Soul follows the sun

The waves are crushing, the waves are crushing, drop anchor
The waves are crushing, soul follows the sun, drop anchor
