Title translation: "Neighed The Battle Horses"
A good song from the album "Zobena Dziesma".
Lyrics:
Zviegtin zviedza kara zirgi
Karavirus gaididami
Karaviri zobentinus
Uz akmena tecinaj
Iztrinusi zobentinus
Krustam lika zveredami
Labak manu galvu nema
Neka manu tevu zemi
Es jums saku, svesi laudis
Sai zeme nenaciet
Dzied man zelta lakstigala
Zobentina galina
English:
Neighing neighed the war horses
Waiting for the warriors
Warriors sharpening their swords on stone
Once the swords were sharp,
they put them crosswise and swore:
Better take my head rather than my homeland.
And that I tell you, strangers, do not come to this land -
a golden nightingale is singing on the tip of my sword.

Nekad nebiju klausījies Skyforger, bet šo dziesmu dzirdēju LTV7, kad beidzās viena latviešu dokumentālā filma, kur viņi brauca uz Gruziju9 years ago

It's so sad that in my country closed minded people love all that ghetto hip pop crap. When there is great music like this available in Europe. Thanks to youtube and the internet, I have access to epic music like this.9 years ago

yeah that seems to make more sense. I do know that there's a difference between shamanism and paganism, but I couldn't really think of a more appropriate example. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mexican god of tobacco or something, but I'm not really familiar with the mythology in that part of the world. (paganism isn't a very specific term though is it, it tends to be used for all kinds of meanings ranging from 'non-christian' to 'polytheist' doesn't it)11 years ago

Pagans can use tobacco like anyone else; it is a process of taking from the earth, consuming, the reflection of the process and associated chemicals could be viewed as a bonding experience with the earth itself. It is worth it to note that most pagans do not have that thought process though. It is no different than the use of any other medicinal herb used in pagan practices. Shamanism and Pagans are different; i recommend studying both schools of thought.11 years ago

I kind of fail to see the connection to be honest. I'm not pagan myself, but as far as I know tobacco was originally used in a ritual context in south america, and the shamans there still smoke a lot and are pretty pagan. sure it's not a very good idea health-wise, but it's pretty hard to make that a religious issue. (except for the addiction bit maybe)11 years ago

Es te netīšām uzgāju Indriķa hroniku internetā un nekas labs tur nav par to kā viņi tajā laikā dzīvoja. Principā laiku pa laikam lietuvieši uzbruka igauņiem, līvi lietuviešiem, latgaļi igauņiem, un tā tie laupīja. Izskatās ka tas bija tā laika bizness. Kad atnāca vācieši viņiem bija galvenais pakļaut kristietībai igauņus, tad līvi un latgaļi viņiem palīdzēja iekarot Igauniju. Vācieši arī atstūma krievu laupītājus no latgaļu un līvu zemēm.11 years ago

Some might confuse Latvians with wikings. Please don't, because we ain't and never were. We were peaceful folk who wouldn't fight for anything that ain't ours (like wikings basically did). so this is different war song. This song for me personaly associates with that feeling when one grabs soil under his feet, which is his father soil. And at that moment he is sure in his heart what for he would give his life. Which is basically what this song is about ("take my head, spare fathers land"). Peace13 years ago

it's folk music, and baltic music shares with many similarities with other european songs (ie : celtic, germanic, slavic etc. songs).13 years ago

@mynameisjonas45 .. this is closer to 'folk music' .. well as close as Skyforger get. Certainly not 'metal'.' Idealogy'. not the term I would have used..but ' traditional', based upon folklore. This is the only way I can handle Skyforger. The 'metal' has me running for the off-switch.Related Videos
