about
Вихрь времени - это песня про изменчивость жизни, которая не трагична, если её воспринимать как стихию, как танец, как калейдоскоп. Как вихрь цветных шалей и юбок в танце, когда люди празднуют праздник урожая, и вот, смена декораций - снег, кровь и далее по сюжету истории. И сквозь все это взгляд Времени, видящий каждый миг, сквозь все века и тысячелетия, постоянный и изменчивый вместе с жизнью. Как море камни и стеклышки обтесывает годами и веками, сглаживает все, обращает в сокровища, принимает в пучину - так и вихрь времени принимает в себя все события, и радостные, и трагические, преображая их, некоторые превращая в сокровища - легенды, а другие предавая забвению.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A vortex of time is a song about variability of life, which is not tragic if it is perceived as an element, as a dance, as a kaleidoscope. Like a vortex of colorful shawls and skirts in the dance, when people celebrate the harvest festival. And, suddenly, the scenery is changing: snow, blood and further on the plot of the story. And through all of this - the rapt gaze of Time, which sees every moment, through the centuries and millennia, constant and changeable together with life. Like the sea during years and centuries hews stones and glass, smoothes everything, turns into treasures, takes into the abyss – so is the vortex of time swallows up all events, both joyful and tragic, transforming them, turning some of them into treasures (legends) and others consigning to oblivion.

lyrics
Вихрь лент и златых волос -
Сенокос, пляс до утра.
Хмель по кружкам золотой,
Мёд хмельной - пира пора.
Лишь бард старый у костра
Песнь поёт - в ней стали звон.
Тот, кто славен был вчера -
По зиме пылью стал в вихре времён.
Снег, кровь... Лед зимних звёзд -
И вопрос, чья вина.
Воронов багряный пир,
Хрупкий мир смяла война.
Лишь бард, кутаясь в плащ,
Песнь поёт - в ней кубков звон.
Всему, о чём вчерашний плач,
По весне пылью стать в вихре времён.
Взлёт-падение - в вихре времени...
Вечен танец - смерть... рождение...
Волны плещутся, камни точатся,
Слёзы мира граня в сокровище...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A whirlwind of ribbons and golden hair -
Haymaking, dancing until the morning.
Golden hops is poured in mugs,
Heady meads, it's time for the feast.
Only the old bard by the fire
Sings the song, it brings the ringing of steel.
One who was glorious yesterday -
In winter, became dust in a whirlwind of time.
Snow, blood ... Ice of winter stars -
And the question is who is at fault.
Ravens’ crimson feast,
The fragile peace was crushed by war.
Only a bard wrapped in a cloak
Sings a song, it brings the jingling of goblets.
All that yesterday’s weeping’s about
In spring, becomes dust in a whirlwind of time.
Rise and fall - in a whirlwind of time ...
Dance is eternal - death... birth...
Waves are splashing, stones are whetted,
Making tears of the world into treasure...
Сенокос, пляс до утра.
Хмель по кружкам золотой,
Мёд хмельной - пира пора.
Лишь бард старый у костра
Песнь поёт - в ней стали звон.
Тот, кто славен был вчера -
По зиме пылью стал в вихре времён.
Снег, кровь... Лед зимних звёзд -
И вопрос, чья вина.
Воронов багряный пир,
Хрупкий мир смяла война.
Лишь бард, кутаясь в плащ,
Песнь поёт - в ней кубков звон.
Всему, о чём вчерашний плач,
По весне пылью стать в вихре времён.
Взлёт-падение - в вихре времени...
Вечен танец - смерть... рождение...
Волны плещутся, камни точатся,
Слёзы мира граня в сокровище...

about
Alkonost Naberezhnye Chelny, Russia
The band's history began in the second half of 1995, when Andrey Losev decided to start his own project. His attention was drawn to medieval music and Russian folk melodies. One year later, in August 1996, Alkonost was born. In over 20 years, the band has gone through many changes, but its unique sound and special atmosphere remained, being the band's distinctive features for all that time. ... more
