Aramia
03:29
|
|||
gonna move to the mountains
and build a hut
steal your weapons
and become aramia
under the Spider
in the village of Kornishor
shoulder to shoulder
with Postol
Here comes Albert
with a boat storming through the swamp
Me and Luka are waiting
in between Vladovo and Tehovo
cock your guns
and watch them from your window
swinging with the breeze
hanging from the oak trees
aramia
aramia
aramia
aramia
the dogs are barking
on the streets of Boymitsa
I hear their voices
all the way to Gumendje
The secrets of the marsh
unfolding in front of your eyes
even 20,000 golden liras
won't make me back down
spies and traitors
killed in freak accidents
bizarre death stories
written by my shaky left hand
aramia
aramia
aramia
aramia
sent a friend
to poison me
a parade with my severed head
through the center of the village

зашчо плачиш,
зашчо жалиш,
ти високи Лисец?
зашчо с мъгла се покриваш
отгоре до долу?
яс ке плачам
яс ке жалам
дур до веки веков,
зашчо видов как заклая
Лазо папа Трайков
ай да кажем Бог да прости Лазо папа Трайков
първиот и най-голем костурски начелник
No more games
No more bombs
No more trenches
No more fun
No more killing
more than I needed
or wanted
boring
no fun
for anybody
act your own age
relax
this won't hurt
война/мир/война

Pesha Gerakina
05:05
|
|||
It hadn't rained
for three months
hadn't rained
not even a drop
burned. everything dried out
for worse
the spring came
and one early morning
it started thundering
the rain came
and it didn't stop
for three days
and three nights
then the water came
in the garden
a mulberry tree
in the garden
on the tree
Pesha Gerakina
and on her neck
three cords of golden coins
and on her ears
two golden beads
and on her fingers
two golden rings
and on the rocks
her breathless body
and when her father heard
he started running down
with the water
with Borushtica
came close
close to Vidrare
that's where he found her
the pretty virgin
the pretty maiden
fell down
and drowned
Pesha Gerakina
her white face
is covered in sand
her thin figure
stuck in the mud
and on her neck
three cords of golden coins
and on her ears
two golden beads
and on her fingers
two golden rings
and on the rocks
her breathless body

Around Draz maala
03:22
|
|||
here he comes
I see him flying over
around Draz maala
fog's blowing over
quick. get them on the trains.
please. send them on their way.
clean up.
light's flashing
around the Count
all the way up
to the Black Cat
smoke crawling
towards the hoof
here he comes to lick
the vulture's blood away
clean up.
clean up.
clean up.

A gray town by the sea
02:49
|
|||
we dream
of a gray town by the sea
no forest murmurs,
no bird sings
and close by lies the town
the fog rests heavy round the roofs
and through the silence
roars the sea
monotonously round the town
in a gray town by the sea
gray town by the sea
just you and me"

Rise Davidoff
03:38
|

стани Давидов от гробо църен,
стани, стани юнаку,
ах, не ставаш, че си умрен,
че куршума те прониза.
They say you won't rise again
'cause you're dead and a bullet pierced you
and took you to a black grave,
but your life will still awaken
just like Lazarus one day
somewhere close to Ozdoleni
где остави своите птици?
по балкани да не поят
млади момци и девойки
венци вият на жалостно
and the leaves will grow green
and all the women will wear white
in the melancholy hills
and the birds will sing again
over the cliffs and far away
all the way down
to the white sea
and the birds will sing again
over the cliffs and far away
all the way down
to the white sea
стани Давидов от гробо църен,
стани, стани, юнаку!

They don't die (1903)
03:23
|
|||
I see the coffins
at the bottom of the mountain
open caskets
and broken hearts
110 years of empty promises
their blood still raging
in my veins
keep your mind in hell and despair not
thus spake elder Silouan
the years of darkness
won't bring us down
when you see the pigman
with the dyed blonde hair
stealing with both hands
from your grandpa's grave
just what you should do
I don't know
but leave the shovel stuck in his throat
stand on the brink of despair
and when you see that you can't bare anymore
draw back a little
have a cup of tea
keep your mind in hell and despair not
keep your mind in hell and despair not

ако со око погледнам
око е — да го ископам,
ако со рака посигнам
рака е — да ја исечам.
Но ако срам ме залиса
оти сум жив закопан,
кажи ми, кажи?
кaj да се кpиaм?
банки дигнаа палати,
банки на нови имами,
кондури друзи коваат
с мотики гроб ни копаат
нагоре кула висока
надолу земjа длабока.
от сичко носат кајмакот
маката нам оставаат

The Owl over Sofia
03:12
|
|||
Sofia, I see burning crosses in your eyes
Sofia, I bleed for you
Sofia, your eyes are closing
Sofia...
Time heals nothing
Step down from the cross
and walk away
Time heals nothing
It's about time
you left Golgotha
Sofia, I bleed for you
your bells are ringing
Sofia, I love you
Time heals nothing
So step down from the cross
and walk away
Time heals nothing
It's about time
you left Golgotha
The hour is coming
The owl is coming...
