Сели мужики за стол,
За дубовый и двуногий,
Да запели про дороги,
Кружек семь разбив об пол.
Стали весело смеяться,
Медовухи полный стол,
Как бы на ноги подняться,
Пьяны мысли, стол тяжел.
«Эй, друзья, поднимем кружки
За веселье, и за смех!
Где же вы, мои подружки?
Я сейчас богаче всех!»
Праздник выдался отменный!
Мужики гуляли всласть
Медовухи кубок пенный
Допивай скорей смеясь!
«Ой, подруженьки, подружки!»
Красны девицы смеются,
Мужики совсем хмельны,
Медовухою пьяны.
Позабудем про застолье
Побежим-ка лучше в поле,
Да закружим в хороводе,
Будем славить Мать-природу.
Да споем про красно солнце,
То, что светит нам в оконце,
Золотит, роскошны косы,
Моет травы и откосы
Разведем костер большой,
Будем прыгать высоко,
Чтобы ноги не обжечь,
Да косу свою сберечь.
Drunkard-Hellbenders
Bumpkins ’ve sat down to table,
It was made of oak and had two legs,
And ‘ve started singing about wandering,
Havin’ broken seven mugs against the floor.
They began laughing merrily,
A full table of honey wine -
How we can rise to our feet?
Thoughts are drunk, the table is heavy.
«Hey, friends, let’s raise our mugs -
A toast to fun, a toast to laughter!
Where are you, my lovely girlies?
Now, I’m the most prosperous guy!»
The feast turned out to be fabbyt!
Muzhiks caroused to heart’s content
So, let’s finish drinking quickly with laugh
A foamy mug of honey wine!
«Oh, girl-friends, my lovely girlies!»
Bonny lasses start to laugh,
Bumpkins are completely drunken,
They are drunk with honey wine.
Let's forget about the feast
It's better run into the field,
And we’ll start whirling in round dances,
Glorifying Mother Nature.
And we’ll sing about Sun The Red,
That shines for us through a window,
Gilds sumptuous tresses,
Washes grasses, washes slopes
So, let's kindle a big fire,
We’ll be jumping very highly,
So as to save our legs from fire,
And to preserve your tress.
Merveilleux album folk métal où se mêlent parfaitement voix angéliques, guitares claires ou saturées aux instruments anciens dans de somptueuses mélodies. dimmuborgia
I have little to no idea as of why I got this, maybe suggested because I got a Woodscream album, which is also a symphonic female-fronted "singing in Russian" band? in any case, I like this stuff, not my all time favorite but symphonic metal in Russian is like a metal holiday from my more classic metal routine :) sachavonkarl74
Ukranian metal band Motanka give new meaning to the word “epic,” writing towering songs that combine folk & hard rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 10, 2019
This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO.
The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me. Rabbit
