Показать описание

My new debut album "Šviesi naktis" is here 🌓

Lithuanian folk song about a sorrowful orphan girl, originating from the Middle Ages, which is sung sticking to the ancient singing tradition.

LYRICS:
Už ežero ugnys dega 2x
Krinta byra kibirkštėlės

Krinta byra kibirkštėlės 2x
Man siratai ašarėlės

Eisiu girion paklausyti 2x
Ar kukuoja gegutėlė

Ar kukuoja gegutėlė 2x
Ar ramina siratėlę

Sunku sodui be karvelio 2x
Man siratai be tėvelio

Sunku giriai be gegulės 2x
Man siratai be motulės

Vocal: Liucija Vaicenavičiūtė

For those wondering what the song means, I give the outline of the lyrics. Where appropriate, I try to match the lines, but that can't always be done because Lithuanian and English grammars are quite different. Also, the original is replete with diminutives like "kibirkštėlė" ~ "little spark", and while this works in Lithuanian, this is difficult to translate faithfully to English. (LYRICS BELOW)

Už ežero Behind the lake
Ugnys dega Fires are burning
2x

Krenta byra
Kibirkštėlės Little sparks fall down
3x

Man siratai And mine, the orphan's,
ašarėlės Tears

Eisiu girion I'll go to the woods
Paklausyti To listen
2x

Ar kukuoja If a cuckoo is singing
Gegutėlė
3x

Ar ramina If it is consoling
Siratėlę The orphan

Sunku sodui 'Tis hard for the garden
Be kirvelio Without a little ax
2x

Man siratai ('Tis hard) For me, the orphan,
Be tėvelio Without the father

Sunku girėj 'Tis hard in the woods
Be gegulės Without the cuckoo
2x

Man siratai ('Tis hard) For me, the orphan,
Be motulės Without the mother

Lithuanians, do you even know how wonderful, magnificent and valuable is your folklore, language and culture? As a hungarian, I'm deeply touched by this song.

What you have to understand, that only music old timers had, was birds and people. Thats why many old folk songs include birds in every lyrics, becouse they are so significant.
