about

FREE DOWNLOAD: set price as $0 (or more - I'm a hard-working father-of-three and I'm taking my free time from my family after my jobs for making this music. That's a lot of work, and often I want just to rest instead of doing another work after paid work. But when I see people need my music, I keep making it. So your support doesn't make me rich, but it's a strong motivation for me).
ATTENTION! Free downloads limit is 200 per month - after that Bandcamp will auto-set random price until next month.

Старець (Oldman)

(music & lyrics by Chur)

A traveller meets a black old man in the journey. The old man claims that this world belongs to him. If anyone wants to live there, he should render tribute to him… by his soul and conscience. The hero laughs and replies: “I recognized you, Morok, the god of lie and fear! Your speeches are for fools. But it is right that you stand here on the road leading to the Truth, and don’t pass unworthy ones!”

Зустрівся мені старець
Чужий та темнолиций,
Сказав він: «Тут все моє,
Ти мені вклонися!
Вмирай, як хочеш Правди –
Там добрий хтось зустріне,
Як хочеш ситим жити –
Служи мені нині!»
Шепоче нам Ліс,
Співає нам Вітер,
Нам каже Сонце в небі синім –
Хто Правою йде,
То є наші діти
І наша сила буде з ними!
Казав дід: «Сирота ти,
Своїх батьків не знаєш,
А хто до мене прийде –
Все що хоче має!
Той муж уже не воїн
Та жінка вже не мати,
Їм є що їсти й пити –
Нема за що вмирати!»
Йому сказав я: «Старче,
Облиш дорогу мою!
Питай про те наступних,
Хто прийде за мною!
Тебе давно я знаю,
Потрібну справу робиш -
Ти світлу Правду ясну
Від дурних борониш!»
