"Klapa za Zemlju" drugi je singl nadolazećeg album Mimika Orkestra pod nazivom Medzotermina. Klapa je inspirirana tradicijskim pjevanjem te je opis jednog neodrživog svijeta eksploatacije resursa, obogaćivanja na uštrb prirode i društva.

LYRICS:

Preko gore more plavo
Preko gore more
Preko gore more plavo
More plavo

Ispod zemlje živo blago
Ispod zemlje živo
Ispod zemlje živo blago
Živo blago

Ča je nami Gospe Bila ?
Riči trošimo
Karnivalon maske nosimo

kontrutom

Ča smo i mi više mogli

vengo tancati ?
Lipe vešte buri puštili

mizeri Sciavoni

Ju ai venut
Ju vi la puarta inseruta, inseruta

Preko gore more plavo
Preko gore more
Preko gore more plavo
More plavo

Ča je nami Gospe Bila ?
Riči trošimo
Lipe vešte buri puštamo

Ju ai venut de nuf

In sta kontruta vi la puarta inseruta

Ča su moje moje misli šporke?!
Ne... Samo da se prisitim

You are invited into a world between two extremes, a world of Mimika Orchestra's upcoming 5th studio album Medzotermina.

"Zrcalo" / "Mirror" is the third single of Mimika orchestra's 5th studio album Medzotermina, it is a song inspired by two worlds, one of infinite richness and one of poverty. The one of infinite richness lies on fragile foundations held by the overwhelming resource use from the world of poverty. This is represented both through music and through the use of the chakavian dialect of the Croatian language as well as the primordial Proto-Indoeuropean language.
