To you, those from chronics, seals and herbs,
beasts who don't eat herbs,
who don't mind beasts' meat, with no shadows from clouds
unscorched by the sun: Pajură, Bour,
with scepter and tiara, -
I beg you to show yourself!
To you, herald beasts,
like Pardos, like Irog-the unicorn, please, show yourself!
Beasts of good and bad kind,
which the hunter, if he's to catch them
won't get only husks and steam,
with some sfarog1: Beasts from the fables,
from moral and necessary books,
I beg them to show themselves!
To you, honest ones, to you, perjurer,
snake of the saint tree around
beasts of human halflike
like mermaids, the Centaur
with golden mouth, like the Chrysostom2
I beg them to show themselves!
Gentle beasts, with a thousand teeth,
with fishtails, with claws at their fingers
with goat's nails, with head, no head
with the fur like beetrot, with eyes like glass,
with eyes of werewolf, beasts with moral
with suave scents, philosophic beasts... Ave!
....Of the false beasts I sing life-no life
which doesn't go like the ice that's melted
doesn't vanish like the fog in the sky
nor breaks like the thread that's thin
or wilts like the old face,
cause if it flies other way than the duck
they come on the world not from eggs like the duck
nor they graze the pasure the whole morning,
but they keep their gift forever and the greeness,
secret and sweetness,
cause neither life is their life!
I sing to you and I enchant you
I invoke you and I evoke you
for luck, for bad luck
Basilisk and Unicorn,
Aspid and Evil-Roc
I'm atalking, I'm starting you
Unicorn and Basilisk
brother Dulf with sulfur eyes
together with Adelphe, your sister,
I bring you sacrifice
And still I'm the one keeping the rhythm
To the Calandrinon bird,
The bird of yes or no,
like you, like yours,
Scarabee, my ladder...
I'm singing to you,
I'm crossing your doorstep,
I'm calling you at the fixed hour
and still I forget you for the sake
of emperor Finics!
May it reborn only the one that gift
Has to reborn, cleansed by ashes,
from it's own ashes and own remains
today, as tomorrow, forever and now.
