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.

lyrics

CÂNTECUL SOARELUI

Soare răsare nimănui nu mă da
Soare apune hai de nu mă lăsa
Soare răsare nimănui nu mă da
Soare apune singură nu mă lăsa
În lumea rea

Umblă-n zare mândrul soare
Umblă să se-nsoare
Nouă ai pe nouă cai
Ce pasc noaptea-n rai
Umblă cerul și pământul
Repede ca vântul

Dar toți caii-și obosea
Potrivă nu-și găsea
Precum sora sa Ileana
Ileana Cosânzeana
Ce-i frumoasă ca o floare
În iarnă fără soare

Soare răsare nimănui nu mă da
Soare apune hai de nu mă lăsa
Soare răsare nimănui nu mă da
Soare apune singură nu mă lăsa
În lumea rea

Dara Domnul-Dumnezeu
Cuvânta cu graiul său;
Iar când Domnul cuvânta,
Lumile se spăimânta,
Mările se tupila,
Munţii se cutremura,

Tu Ileană Cosânzeană
Fără de prihană
Și tu soare luminate
Fără de păcate
Voi cu ochii vă zăriți
Dară fiți despărțiți.
Veșnic să vă alungați
Cerul cutreierați

Soare răsare nimănui nu mă da
Soare apune hai de nu mă lăsa
Soare răsare nimănui nu mă da
Soare apune singură nu mă lăsa
În lumea rea

THE SONG OF THE SUN

Oh, high-rising Sun, let me not be others’ sworn
Oh, low-sinking Sun, leave me not to mourn
Oh, high-rising Sun, let me not be others’ sworn
Oh, low-sinking Sun, leave me not forlorn
Midst the wicked borne.

Seeks the sun ’cross welkins starry
Bride he hopes to marry
Nine astride on horses nine
Grazed in heaven’s night
Seeks on land and seeks on high
Faster than the wind can fly

Though his horses he’d exhaust
Match for him was ever lost
One like his sister Ileana
Ileana Cosânzeana
Who is fair as a flower
On a sunless wintry hour

Oh, high-rising Sun, let me not be others’ sworn
Oh, low-sinking Sun, leave me not to mourn
Oh, high-rising Sun, let me not be others’ sworn
Oh, low-sinking Sun, leave me not forlorn
Midst the wicked borne.

Lord Almighty way up high
Let his voice sound in the sky;
As th’Almighty spoke his word,
The worlds cowered when they heard,
All the seas in hiding blurred,
All the mountains shook and stirred.

You, Ileana Cosânzeana,
Pure as fabled manna,
And you, brightly shining sun,
Sinless as is none
Your eyes on each other dart
But for ay will stay apart.
Chase away each other’s heart
For the skies forever start.

Oh, high-rising Sun, let me not be others’ sworn
Oh, low-sinking Sun, leave me not to mourn
Oh, high-rising Sun, let me not be others’ sworn
Oh, low-sinking Sun, leave me not forlorn
Midst the wicked borne.

Har
by Dordeduh

supported by 7 fans who also own “Cântecul soarelui (The Song of the Sun) feat.Ligia Hojda”

It seems Dordeduh only releases an album once a decade. while that is pretty awful, the one major positive is that both albums are absolutely masterful musical perfection. Both Black and Prog are my favorite metal subgenres and no one can touch the fantastic fusion of black, folk and prog that Dordeduh does. I can hope that album 3 doesnt take another decade though. Stop reading this and buy the damn album already! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob

Album exceptionnel. Difficile d'en extraire un titre en particulier tant ils sont tous de très bonne qualité: musique entraînante, festive, péchue, avec des sonorités du terroir. Boisson Divine est ma révélation musicale de l'année! maxlagorce

The lead solo on the opening track is amazing. It's something you'd expect in a hard rock/metal song, but it fits perfectly. akunderhile
