Ko v Zanzibarju že sonce zahaja,
pri nas je še noč.

(eng.:
When in Zanzibar sun is already setting1,
over here is still night.2)

This is part of popular song which was performed by Slovenian group Čuki. This song is learning kids about wrong differences between time zones. Yes, I know that this song was made for younger audience, but is still wrong! Nothing would be wrong, even rhyme will still be ok, if they will sing song like:

Ko v Zanzibarju že sonce zahaja,
pri nas je še noč.

(eng.:
When in Zanzibar sun is already setting,
over here is still daytime.)

(I’ve flashed back this song when i was doing my geography homework about time zones :D And if you ask me… it’s stupid like all songs for kids :D)
