(RUSSIAN TRAVELER)(MASHA SCREAM)
Oh, Once at dawn
the scarlet sun was rising.
The sun was scarlet, that early morning
The maid was seeing her fellow off,
To far, far away. Far, far away distant lands.
Seeing him off, giving her tender word.
A tender word, and a word of protection.
“Oh darling, oh I will, I will wait for you
I will wait for you,
And meet you at the crimson sunset.”
The maid’s fingers trembled,
And caught the tears And caught the tears
Flowing from bright eyes.
With gentle hand she removed her amulet
Removed her amulet and prayed for good fortune.
“I pray, I enchant this
And give it to my beloved
for the journey in that distant place,
Protect my beloved from death.”
And that fine fellow departed to foreign lands
to seek happiness for the years, hey!
Oi da di da di da da....
Trail after trail, toward the sun.
Through cold and heat, in light and dark.
Into gray mist, Into Fading light,
Again turning to the Gods.
Bare feet worn bloody.
You follow an unknown road.
And hearing the sea’s call.
You fell into the embraces of Northerly winds.
You went after happiness!
Again you ask this land about it.
(SWEDEN, MANEGARM VOCALIST)
Hear Nerthus* breathe heavily
Svitjod’s* primordial soul
The North Star’s bleak light
The wolf in the night wind
The dawn over the Northern Land
Raven’s wing in Sunna’s Sea
Here my forefathers stand guard
By the one-eyed’s side*
Here I sacrifice to my Gods
the soil of my roots
(RUSSIAN TRAVELER)(MASHA SCREAM)
This house is beautiful
But foreign and cold
I hear the voice of winds of other countries
Reveal the roads thither, O Veles*!
The voice of a new land
Your foot treads upon it
Again, you turned from the road
Far off a foreign river I lured you.
People! Pray tell,
For what is your joyous land reknowned?
The Gods, who are they?
What do these lands hide?
(OBTEST, LITHUANIA ,Vocals)
Boundless woods raised us
Like horses of the wind, in freedom
Black bread like the soil,
Thick foamy mead…
Žemyna’s* falcon
Protects our children in the sun
One-eyed Velinas*
Teaches us of steel, awakening us…
The Ąžuoliniai Mounds*
Look into the distance
As Far as the eye can see-
The land of our forefathers.
(RUSSIAN TRAVELER)(MASHA SCREAM)
Gazing on the beauty of golden fields
I will bend the knee
I will offer tribute to this land
Again, I will leave without a trace.
In the sunset’s brilliance again
A new land’s expanse will blaze
For what is your joyous land reknowned,
Dear to a foreigner’s eyes?
(LATVIA, SKYFORGER)
I have no problems living
on the edge of the great sea
Just as the sea washes in
So it washes out silver
I put on a coat of water
A pelt of pebbles
Now I go to the sea
To play with the northern wind
(RUSSIAN TRAVELER)(MASHA SCREAM)
And again I run off
From a land foreign to my heart
Though the expanses are great
They are not mine
I run far off
Away from the blue seas
Again I ask the people my question
(GERMANY, MENHIR)
Thuringia*, how beautiful you are,
Like a young maiden.
Your limbs are the valley and hill,
And the pretty meadows your dress.
The fresh forest is your breath,
Your speech, birdsong.
The pond, that is your bright eye,
Your greeting is bell-ringing.
The forest, it is your green coat,
Your glossy hair, golden grain.
In colorful bouquets here bloom
Many flowers delicate and rich.
The pretty meadows are your dress.
Your limbs valley and hill.
You are like a young maiden.
Thuringian* land, so beautiful,
So beautiful!
(RUSSIAN TRAVELER)(MASHA SCREAM)
Trail after trail
Toward the sun
Through cold and heat
In light and dark
I run off…
I run off to foreign lands
Bare feet chafing
In my heart keeping hope
I think of my land
Expecting a wonder, again I run
To the seashore
To the new land I’ll pay respect
For what is this land reknowned?
(NETHERLANDS, HEIDEVOLK)
You followed the sun, guided by your gods
Westwards you have traveled
To the boundaries of the land
Where the sea swallows the ground
To the land of the dragon’s cry,
The place fused with my soul,
Your path as led you
Welcome to my fatherland
Warm yourself by the fire, my guest
And refresh yourself with our beer
Far away too we have traveled
But our happiness is here
Where my brothers are around the fire
Drink in this night hour
Where stories and laughter
Sound until the break of day
Our joy we can find
In the woods, in the field of the heath
Our joys we can find
On the shores of the Rhine
(RUSSIAN TRAVELER)(MASHA SCREAM)
Oh, how the scarlet heart yearned
Oh, for its native country
Oh at dawn, hurry
To your Mother, dear heart
And there you sight Rus’
With a song in your heart
Through a maelstrom of emotion
Here they are – your native lands.
In chains of Oblivion
Of the oncoming force of happiness
You cry: “Here is my land!”
You cry: “Here is my land!”
