about

Just like many of our other songs this one is about how amazing and full of surprises life can be. Especially for someone who is not used to reckoning with an idea, that there are many other forces besides ones power and authority. This song tells us a story of peaceful people who worshipped a mountain river believing its water was sacred. Neighbors were afraid to invade their lands because of a legend according to which the ones who spilled the blood on the banks of the river were forever cursed and would not live another year. Once a conqueror passed through those mountains and the lake people were in his way. He shed the blood into white streams of the river and went on to his war. And despite that it seemed like an easy victory to him, he failed in this military campaign because of the curse.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Как и многие другие наши песни, эта песня о том, что жизнь удивительна и полна неожиданностей, особенно для того, кто не привык считаться с тем, что в мире есть множество сил, помимо его могущества и власти. В сюжете этой песне история о мирном народе, который поклонялся горной реке, считая её воды священными. Зная легенду, согласно которой, проливший кровь на берегах этого потока будет проклят и не проживёт и года с этого момента, соседи опасались вторгаться в их земли. Но однажды через те горы шёл завоеватель, народ озёр мешал ему, просто потому что стоял на пути. Он пролил кровь в белый поток и пошёл дальше на свою войну. Несмотря на то, что всё сулило ему лёгкую победу, он потерпел крах в той военной компании, потому что проклятье его не миновало.

lyrics

Там,
Где живут ветра,
В северных горах -
За потоком белых вод
Жил страны озёр народ –
Не ковал ни щит, ни меч,
И не ведал сеч.

Знал
Сроду стар и млад -
Белых вод край свят,
Кто окрасит в цвет рудой
Омут с белою водой -
Не пройдёт врата зимы,
Канет в царство тьмы.

Белым гребнем,
Белым змеем,
Белым бликом
В зелень чащ.
Эхо песен,
Эхо криков -
Помнит Белый Страж.

И пена вод
Его несёт
Разбитый меч,
Сожжённый плот,
Блестит, сверкает и поёт,
Что сгинет каждый
В свой черёд…

Шёл
Властелин с ордой
Через горы в бой -
И окрасил в цвет рудой
Реку с белою водой….
Не вернулся ни один
С поля сечи той.

Белым гребнем,
Белым змеем,
Белым бликом
В зелень чащ.
Эхо песен,
Эхо криков -
Помнит Белый Страж.

И пена вод
Его несёт
Разбитый меч,
Сожжённый плот,
Блестит, сверкает и поёт,
Что сгинет каждый
В свой черёд…

-----------------------------------

There,
Where the winds dwell
In the northern mountains -
Behind a stream of white waters,
There lived a country of lakes folks -
They forged neither a shield nor a sword,
And did not know any battles.

They knew
Since birth, old folks and young,
The White Water lands are holy
Who would color in ruby red
Whirlpool of white water -
Won’t pass the gates of winter
And sink into the kingdom of darkness.

Like a white crest,
Like a white serpent,
Like a white flare
Into the thickets green.
Echo of songs,
Echo of screams -
The White Guard remembers [them].
And the foam of the waters
Carries it
Broken sword,
Burnt raft,
It shines, sparkles and sings
That everyone will disappear
In their turn...

He walked
Lord with his horde
Through the mountains to the battle -
And he colored in ruby red
The river of white water...
Not one returned
From that battlefield.

Like a white crest,
Like a white serpent,
Like a white flare
Into the thickets green.
Echo of songs,
Echo of screams -
The White Guard remembers [them].
And the foam of the waters
Carries it
Broken sword,
Burnt raft,
It shines, sparkles and sings
That everyone will disappear
In their turn...

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
