Slavogorje - Priroda Opstanka lyrics



Tracks



01. Barbari Panonske Ravni (The Barbarians Of Panonian Lowlands)

S istoka bojni vjetar puse
Granice se mijenjaju, gradovi se ruse
Cista zemlja i tlo svjedoče
Seobi naroda sto kroce

Put Euroazije osvajaci spalise
A potom nas barbarima nazvase

Horde nase hrle Europom
Trava ne raste njihovom stopom
Potjera nam bje za vratom
Rasirismo se kontinentom

Put Euroazije osvajaci spalise
A potom nas barbarima nazvase

Barbarians of the Panonian Lowlands; this song brings back a history lesson of an early pre-medieval time, during the great migration of the Roman Empire and Indo-European tribes (also called 'Barbarian Invasions'), between the years 300 to 700 A.D.

02. Umjetnost Opstanka (The Art Of Survival)

(instrumental)

The Art of Survival; just a piece of our primordial instincts that we share in the great entity of Nature, those instincts help us survive, so is the lack of them annihilating us slowly.

03. Slavogorje (Hill Of The Slavs)

Vida rane jesen rujna
Stare slave zemlja bujna
Mudro sunce tiho pada
Donosi nam noc pred vrata

Covjek danas sebe stiti
Kroji samo ratne niti
Savjestan bi treb'o biti
Duge zelen-snove sniti

Gdje su nasi preci snili
Gdje su ljetno vino pili
Uspomene vjecno stoje
Placu ponad sudbe svoje

Godisnja se doba broje
Jesen, zima, proljece je
Okolina pomoc htije
Legendarno Slavogorje

Hill of the Slavs; it is our idealistic and fictional vision of a nature, untouched by the modern and industrial world, unharmed by humanity, and sacred by it's age.

04. Dolina Panjeva (A Hollow Of The Logs)

Hod kroz godinu
Zemlje putanju
Svakim korakom
Vidim ljepotu

O dolino panjeva!
O znamenu bogova!

Posljednji gaj, izgubljen kraj
Covjek je kriv, sve dok je ziv
Duboki san, sumoran dan
Covjek je ziv, sve dok je kriv

Posljednji panj, Perunov malj
Covjek je div, svijet mu je siv
Utonuli sjaj, nestali raj
Covjek je siv, svijet mu je div

Sve strane krv, mrtvilo srz
Priroda, da, rusi se sad
Unistavanje i jantara dni
Priroda sad rusi se, da

Grananje tla, svijet panjeva
Priroda gladna, voda otpadna
Ljudi su, da, vjetrovi zla
Priroda 'padna, voda je gladna

O dolino panjeva!
O znamenu bogova!

Hod kroz godinu
Zemlje putanju
Svakim korakom
Vidim ljepotu

U svom lutanju...

A Hollow of the Logs; here, we're singing about the questionable fate of people, but also of nature, for we are all entwined in this very existence.

05. Kolovrat

Nocni barsun sporo spusta
Crno sunce sniloj zemlji

Zelen-brda, tamne gore
Skriva sunce kolovratom

Mudri Svarog kolo stvori
Slavit cemo put ka zori

Kolovrat is an ancient heathen symbol of the Sun and life (dedicated to a Slavic god Svarog), similar to sunwheel and swastika and it is important, because we have to keep our world's primordial inheritance even in the fields of insignia and symbolism.

06. Poput Jeke (Like An Echo)

(instrumental)

Like an Echo; the name of this instrumental piece describes enough the message itself: we have to concentrate not only on the big, important and fatal factors in our lives, but also the small and passing ones.

07. Pravda Nikad Ostvarena (A Justice Never Reached)

Majka zemlja podrhtava
Ostade joj saptom slava
Nitko ziv ce moći reci
?Potoci su mogli teci"

Nikom' zbilja stalo nije
Ocuvati zelen-bilje
Cupaj stabla, smog nek' pada
I to ti je neka pravda

Mjesec zvijezda pastir blijedi
Staribog na tronu sjedi
Gleda dolje okom plavim
?Gledam da sve zaboravim"

Prizor nije tamo lijepi
Lesinar se krvlju 'krijepi
Covjek brata snagom saka
Zemljom padu tijela laka

Sume, gore, mora, rijeke
Umiru u placu jeke
Zelen-svijet nam nesta' s trena
Pravda nikad ostvarena

Vjecna noc i duplja, mrena
Nisu prava za nas kazna
Priroda zaboravljena
Pravda nikad ostvarena

A Justice never Reached; this track also sings about the hopelessness and fear of our modern civilization and our impact on the nature that our ancestors left us.

08. Prisega (The Oath)

(instrumental)

The Oath; piano miniature with the short theme of our human behavior, promises and sealing / abandoning spoken words and feelings.

09. U Suton Bogova (A Dusk Of The Gods)

Dodju vremena, kada vjera nesta'
Sudba nije ista: suton bogova

Vladimir, knez Novgoroda
Koji podiza' idole
Vladimir, lord preokreta
Kraj onih koji se mole

Prvo podigavsi Perunov kip
Na brezuljku kijevske dvornice
Kada mu car naredi suprotno
Baci kip u dnjeprove brzice

Nakon pedeset godina
Erich Edmund osvaja grad
Iako se Arkona preda
Vjera bje jaca neg' ikada

I Rujani otjerase Dance
Tome kralj Valdemar stane na kraj
Sad unistenoj Rujni visokoj
Jo? oganj lize iz mrtvog oka

Tragedija Slavena, epilog kultura
Kraj djedovina, u suton bogova

Dodju vremena, kada vjera nesta'
Sudba nije ista: suton bogova

A Dusk of the Gods; another historic-oriented songs, description of the rise, beliefs, truth and treason that has created and destruct Rugia, a very important sanctuary of the Baltic Slavs.

10. Jutro Nad Arkonom (Morning Upon Arkona)

(instrumental)

Morning upon Arkona; just the emotional and auditive background of the scene of Arkona , last standing Slavonic heathen town.
