Kai guli lovoj ir ieškai vieno dokumento, bet randi kai ką kita. Tada, vardan atidėliojimo, tampa būtina tai įgarsinti. Va ir rezultatas.

THE PLOT

The myth of Sovijus, transcribed in the 13th century, explains how rites of cremation were established among the Baltic tribes.

Sovijus was a man. After killing a marvellous boar, he ripped out 9 spleens out of the animal and gave them to his sons to fry. After they had eaten all of the parts, Sovijus got angry with his children.
The father tried descending to Hell. He did not succeed passing through eight gates, but, with the help of his son, only managed to reach the destination through the ninth gate.
When the other brothers got angry with him, he resolved to find the father, and ventured to Hell himself. He found Sovijus.
After Sovijus had dinner with him, he made the bed for the father by digging a pit and burried the man under the ground. In the morning, when they both woke up, the son asked the father, whether he had a good sleep. Sovijus replied that he slept terribly and was bitten by worms and slugs.
The next day, Sovijus' son made dinner and placed his father for the night in [the trunk of] a tree. In the morning – again – Sovijus complained, that he was stung by bees and mosquitoes and had a terrible night.
On the third day, the son prepared a large bonfire and threw his father into the flames. In the morning, when asked, Sovijus replied, “I slept like a log.”

Pavasaris pavadndenis / pavasario daina, Varėna

This is a song about drafting young Lithuanian men to war. The men are likened to a strong oak tree that is not encouraged to sprout its leaves since hard times are approaching. The hero is told to get up, wash his face, dress in a shirt, say goodbye to his parents, have some wine to settle his heart, but when he drinks, his heart hurts even more.

Mostly I sing and play traditional Lithuanian music.
