IN THE DARK PLACES | ST GEORGE'S SONGS |
We got up early, washed our faces, walked the fields and put up crosses. Passed through the damned mountains, went hellwards, and some of us returned, and some of us did not. | We got up very early, Washed our white faces, Walked around the fields Put up crosses, Invoked Egor': Brave Egor', Macarius the saint! Protect our flocks, Every animal- In the field and beyond the field In the forest and beyond the forest For you wolf, bear, Old beast, Fox and hare- A stump and a log At the edge of the forest! |
In the fields and in the forests, under the moon and under the sun another summer has passed before us, and not one man has, not one woman has revealed the secrets of this world. | You mean old lady, Stump and log, At the edge of the forest! Go to Tatarus (Hell) Return again, Pass through the damned mountains Don't find your way back! |
So our young men hid with guns, in the dirt and in the dark places. | We walked around the field Invoking Egor', Praising Macarius: You, our brave Egory, Macarius the saint! Save our flocks In the field and beyond the field In the forest and beyond the forest, Under the bright moon Under the beautiful sun, From the nasty wolf, From the mean bear, From the sly beast! |
