Калинов Мост - Озарение
текст песни

Embraced by peace,
They vanished into the dawn—
Where dreams foamed with the venom of tempered steel.
Captivity measured the lands
With a tent of shimmering haze,
Bridled by Svarog in joyful rein.
And Day ruled over the shadows,
Over the russet-flanked herds;
And the shutters vied: "What is it like—the Onon?"
The lash of the copper outpost
Bloomed—wild and untamed—
Seeking to fence the horizon with an arrow's flight.

Branching out in conjecture,
I girded myself with leather straps—
To flush the light with the warmth of my voice,
To commune with the heavens in perfect harmony.

The scroll of the stars swirled,
Boundless throughout the nights;
The sun's warm breath gave heat
To the splash of the casting net.
Be happy, O chosen one!
To worthily hammer out—
That bottomless, wondrous design—
And, like threads of a sacred gift,
To weave yourself into the tapestry of life;
To stream the laughter of nesting birds from mouth to mouth;
With a sorcerous storm,
To stir the fluttering lashes—
And render praise to the spirits of the wind.

Scorched by the heat of the chase,
I flew as *Zharosvat*—
Burdened by my armor,
Yet letting fall a single feather.
I scattered the dawns abroad
As a midnight reward;
And the children rejoiced
To recognize themselves within the sunbeams.
And then I understood—
Kin to the radiant light—
That whatever is conceived of sparks,
You must hasten to give back to the dew.
