1.
Far from the western side Over the meadows and fields The wind casts a plague in a powerful voice Through waving flags And sounds of weapons War rides upon his fiery steed The earth and sky blend together The sounds of war echo Two walls of men face one another On the horizon Where the weapons glisten bright In gruesome death go both allies and foes Swords lie in heaps Springs flow blood red The sky weeps upon the soil Cries of pain In battle heroes fall The red horseman sows the seeds of death Laments and shouting fade away Motionless bodies lie upon the ground The black cloud stirs its dance of death over them Clouds are weeping Slowly over the field The fog rises under the clouds God, do not let us remain here Where the men as oaks fall Should I am the one to fall Take me in your cradle
2.
The day draws close to an end It is time for sunset A grim silence falls over the place Only the birds of passage cry Through the forests and over the fields The night spreads out its cover Over the black vault of the heaven The sons of God ride In the forests and within the swamps Where beasts are crying loudly Through the darkness and through the fog The dark horseman rides his steed Under his horse’s heavy footfall The earth rumbles and stone breaks Where the dark rider has been Even the forest spring runs dry Lies the village in a deep sleep Young and old are asleep The sword of the rider shines His eyes glow in the darkness Onward the rider rushes Everything dies where his sword strikes No one to stand in his way Everyone run for your life
3.
Two grizzled steeds Ate oats from the stone Steeds of the Sons of God Courtiers of the daughters of the Sun One had a saddle of the Sun Another had a golden bridle Next to the saddle, the sun rose Next to the bridle, the moon Upon the end of the bridle-rein The golden star rolled
4.
Parkiuns* brought a bride for his son From overseas to our land Plaid for pine, plaid for spruce A white woollen shawl for birch For the large oak The triple golden belt For thin osiers A piece of yarn for each *Parkiuns – Thunder God
5.
Black Thunder clouds On the western side flow Foreigners approach on their horses With raised swords in their hands I climbed a hill At the very top of the hill I saw the village folk Crying bitter tears I saddled my grizzled steed And took my sword I took my sword And went to protect my land Far away across the river The thunder rumbled God rode upon a golden steed Gathering up the souls
6.
Phantoms of fog vanish along the swamp side It is time to allow this day to fade away The late hour opens the way for darkness Night pours stars over the earth Dark shadows loom in the forest Eyes glow as coal through the night In every corner the wolves’ desolate howl The dogs of God cry out for their brothers Centuries-old guards gloomy stand Covering the horizon with their hands of prongs The forest conceals the pale face of the moon So that the ritual is kept away from a stranger’s eyes Countless men walk along the forest path Coiling the fire line around the glade The mighty figure hails everyone Shouting ancient words Your flesh shall cry out, your soul shall cry out When you will feel the deadly cold in front of you Your flesh shall cry out, your soul shall cry out Listen how your forefathers’ voices call upon you The cloak of the wolf shines in the fire An axe of war at his side is revealed The wise werewolf stands in the centre of the pack With raised hands he completes his ritual Announces what the signs are saying What the pale moon has said to him A grand day shall come Soon they shall depart Strangers will not be saved by the distance Hostile lands will surround Bodies will cover the land The fame upon the victory shall be our gain
