Gabriel Tamas A beautiful track from this elusive yet already classic Romanian band. The lyrical theme is very interesting and I cant wait to hear the full album that this song advertises.

    RO/EN După aproape doi ani, saga Zimbrului Alb a luat sfârșit. Albumul este disponibil pentru pre-order, în formă fizică, în formatul creat de noi, de 21X21 cm, fiecărei piese corespunzându-i o ilustrație creată de artistul Radu Damian. Cele 8 ilustrații ale pieselor crează o singură ilustrație mare. Albumul este într-o ediție bilingvă, conținând un CD și un cod de download digital. Albumul nu va intra prea curând pe rețelele de streaming, așadar va exista o perioadă destul de mare când va putea fi ascultat numai în original.

    Almost two years after, the White Wisent saga is over. The album is available for pre-order, in our original digipack, 21x21 cm, with every song getting an illustration from the artist Radu Damian. All eight illustration create one big poster. It is a billingual album, all lyrics are translated in English. The digipack contains a CD and a download code, for the digital album. The White Wisent won't be available for streaming anytime soon, so you can hear it only in it's original, physical shape.

about

Albumul „Zimbrul alb” este unul conceptual, având ca temă principală astronomia populară. Toate piesele de pe album sunt inspirate din basme sau legende legate de astre.

Drumul robilor este numele popular al Căii Lactee și este ultima piesă de pe album, singura piesă în care astrele vorbesc muritorilor.

lyrics

Drumul Robilor

Fără niciun cuvânt nu ieșim din rând
Înrobiți de milenii.
Pe tărâm neumblat ispășim păcat.
Stăpâni ne sunt viclenii.

Amară povară...

Fără niciun cuvânt am pierdut ce-i sfânt
Din fântânile vieții.
Pașii noștri se-ntind într-un râu de-argint
Ce îndrumă drumeții.

Amară povară.
Amar un trai de rob prădat de țară.

Îngropat-am un vis în adânc abis
Ce ne-nchide himeric.
Ne priviți cum pierim pe tărâm străin
Strălucind intuneric.

Amară povară
Amar un trai de rob prădat de țară.

Fost-am îngeri sfinți, ai lumii părinți,
Ce păzeau genunii.
Dintre ape vii iveam galaxii
Deasupra bradul lumii.

Amară povară
Amar un trai de robi fără țară.

Fără niciun cuvânt nu ieșim din rând
Înrobiți de milenii.


Road of Serfdom

In our muted confine, we have toed the line,
Bound in shackles for ages.
On untrodden land thrown, for sin we atone,
The wily rule our cages.

So grievous the onus…

In our muted confine, we have lost the divine
In the life-giving wellspring.
Our steps duly teem in a silvery stream
That inspires the faring.

So grievous the onus.
Serf’s grievous plight, of homeland reft, so heinous.

We have buried our bliss in the dark abyss,
Locked in phantasm’s shimmer.
You behold our decay in the lands far away,
With obscurity’s glimmer.

So grievous the onus.
Serf’s grievous plight, of homeland reft, so heinous.

Holy angels erst, we, world’s fathers first,
The abyss’s guards were.
From the living seas, we’d wring galaxies
Above the sacrosanct world fir.

So grievous, the onus
Serfs’ grievous plight upon home-disowned us.

Home-disowned us.

In our muted confine, we have toed the line,
Bound in shackles for ages.
