Волга, река-матушка силой великою,
Берегом крутым и пологим тож,
Водой жемчужною, ясною,
Широко разлилась ты по Руси.
Леса и луга, да простора ширь,
На твоих брегах золото хлебов,
На лугах твоих шелкова трава
А в степях ковыль, да полыни горь.
Волга река русская
Края тебе нет, мать кормилица,
Величава ты, Волга-матушка,
Звонкая вода, мать река.
А по шелку трав гнедой конь идет,
Гнедой конь идет, удила грызет.
На коне сидит Леля-девица,
Леля-девица, красна весна.
Ай, Волга-река, река матушка,
Пропусти меня к другу милому,
Другу милому, Яриле-солнышку,
Яриле солнышку, суженному моему.
Волга река русская
Края тебе нет, мать кормилица,
Величава ты, Волга-матушка,
Звонкая вода, мать река.
Расступилась река, Волга матушка,
Волга матушка, лед прогнала прочь.
Лед прогнала прочь, к морю синему,
И растаял он от любви сердец.
Встретились оне, Леля- девица,
Леля- девица, красна Весна,
И Ярила-бог, красно солнышко,
Полюбилися навсегда оне.
Волга река русская
Края тебе нет, мать кормилица,
Величава ты, Волга-матушка,
Звонкая вода, мать река.
И от встречи той, встречи радостной,
Встречи радостной, встречи сладостной,
Родился у них, сынок-богатырь,
Сынок богатырь, Лето-красное.
Volga The River And Lelya-Maiden
Volga the river-mother, by the great power,
By your steep, as well as sloping, bank,
By pearl, clear water,
You widely overflowed across Rus.
Woods and meadows, and the vast expanse,
Golden crops are on yours sides,
Soft grasses are on your grasslands
Feather grass, wormwood bitter tastes are in steppes.
Volga, the Russian river,
You’ve got no borders, mother the breadwinner,
You are majestic, Volga the mother,
Sonorous water, mother the river.
And a sorrel horse goes upon soft grass,
The sorrel horse goes gnawing its bits.
Lelya-Maiden is ahorseback,
Lelya-Maiden is Spring The Wonderful.
“Oh, Volga the river, river the mother,
Let me go to my sweetheart,
To my honeysweet, Yarilo-Sunnie,
To Yarilo the Sun, to the promised o’mine.
Volga, the Russian river,
You’ve got no borders, mother the breadwinner,
You are majestic, Volga the mother,
Sonorous water, mother the river.
Volga, the mother river, parted to let,
Volga the mother, drove ice away.
Drove ice away - to the dark blue sea,
And it thawed owe to love of hearts.
They met each other – Lelya-Maiden,
Lelya-Maiden, Spring The Wonderful,
And Yarilo-God, the Red Sun -
For ever they fell in love.
Volga, the Russian river,
You’ve got no borders, mother the breadwinner,
You are majestic, Volga the mother,
Sonorous water, mother the river.
And owe to that joyful meeting-date,
That joyful meeting full of delight,
The sonny, an epical hero, was born by them,
The sonny, a bogatyr, named “Summer The Red”.

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

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
