From the Forest

Bless Mother (With Organ)

Ethnic-Trance adaptation of a traditional song "My Ever-leaved Wreath" from Podseredneye village, Belgorodskaya region, Russian Federation:
"My ever-leaved Wreath
Ever-leaved, precious,
Twined with gold,
Where can I leave you?
I'll leave you with my father - 
There it will be safe.
None will tear it or bruise it.
A field was in flame:
I was there putting out the fire
Carrying the water with a bucket.
As much as there is water in the bucket - 
My father possess the  truth.
-----
My ever-leaved Wreath
Ever-leaved, precious,
Twined with gold,
Where can I leave you?
I'll leave you with my sweetheart - 
There it wont be safe.
It will be torn and bruised.
A field was in flame:
I was there putting out the fire
Carrying the water with a sieve.
As much as there is water in the sieve- 
My sweetheart possess the  truth.
