Čez tisoč let, ko naju več ne bo,
bo spet prav tak večer, kot je nocoj.
Na modrem nebu oddaljenih svetov,
spet kot nocoj bo Orion sijal.

Zeleni hrast, ki pošumeva v noč,
takrat prastaro temno bo drevo,
šumel bo v vetru kot teman spomin,

na ta večer, ko stala sva pod njim.

Skoz mrak bo trepetala istih zvezd srebrna luč
le mladi par, ki se tu takrat objel bo drug
In kot nocoj v pomladni mrak sijal bo Orion
in prav tako kot jaz morda bo rekla deklica:
Kako je daleč, kako je lep,
kako zdaj sije njegovih sedem zvezd.

Čez tisoč let, ko naju ne bo več,
na nebu Orion sijal bo še,

poljubi me za tisoč dolgih let
ko tu mlad par se bo poljubil spet.

Overall Meaning

The song "Orion" by Videosex talks about looking up at the night sky and seeing the constellation Orion. The lyrics suggest that even after a thousand years pass and the people who are currently alive on Earth are no longer around, Orion will still be shining brightly in the sky just as it is now. The singer then describes standing under a green oak tree that rustles in the night breeze, knowing that in a thousand years that tree will be ancient and dark but still standing there. The starry sky, with the same stars that will still be shining a thousand years later, will be the backdrop for a young couple who will embrace just like they did on this night, and once again Orion will shine just as it does now. The lyrics end with the suggestion that the singer would like to be kissed by her lover for a thousand years, just like the young couple under the stars.

The song "Orion" is a poetic and romantic imagining of a future where some things stay the same despite the passage of time. It's a contemplation of the cyclical nature of the universe and the constancy of the stars. The oak tree and the stars are symbols of the enduring power of nature and the eternal and unchanging beauty of the cosmos. The song suggests that even when we're long gone, the stars and the natural world will continue spinning and glowing, a comforting thought in a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain.
