Ancient Lithuanian war song “Palaukėj, pamiškėj (Near the field, near the forest) performed by Lithuanian band Ugniavijas. In our opinion - one of the most beautiful Lithuanian songs it still remembers the times, when spear, not a gun, was a weapon of choice for the warrior.
This song is also recorded in our first studio album "Karo dainos" (War songs), which you can find on our website www.ugniavijas.lt.
This is a live acoustic performance from the band's rehearsal in February 2020, Vilnius, Lithuania.
Lithuanian and English lyrics provided below.
Dainos žodžiai:
Palaukėj pamiškėj, kareivėlis gulėj
Ir gali jo kojelių, šyvas žirgelis stovėj.
Ir atklėk gegula ir nutupė šalalėn
Ir tu gegula mano, raibos plunksnelės tavo.
Tu gegula mano, raibos plunksnelės tavo
Ir tu nulėk gegula, in man tėvų motiną.
Tu nulėk gegula, in man tėvų motiną
Ir nesakyk gegula, kad užmušė čia mane.
Nesakyk gegula, kad užmušė čia mane
Ir pasakyk gegula, apvesdino čia mane.
Pasakyk gegula, apvesdino čia mane
Ir apvesdino mane - laiba ietužė rankoj…
English lyrics:
A young warrior was lying on the skirts of the wood.
And a grey horse was standing by his feet.
And a motley cuckoo came and landed by his side.
My dear cuckoo, thou hast gotten so motley feathers.
Thou hast gotten so motley feathers, fly thou, my dear cuckoo,
To my father and my mother,
And dost not tell, my dear cuckoo, I was killed here.
Dost not tell them, my dear cuckoo, I was killed here,
Tell, dear cuckoo, I was made to marry here.
I was made to marry here by a thin spear in the hand.
