B. Leśmian - Świdryga i Midryga (Navia | Slavic Folk Version)

"Świdryga and Midryga" in a dark Slavic interpretation by Navia. The piece was inspired by the legendary poem by Bolesław Leśmian—a tale of madness, dance, and the Southern Woman leading to destruction. The scorching south, golden dust, ritual dance, and Slavic folklore intertwine here into one hypnotic story. Performance and interpretation: Navia Lyrics: It's not horses galloping through the scorched grass, But Świdryga and Midryga carrying the wild clamor. The meadow trembles beneath their feet, the golden dust swirls, And the Southern Woman watches pale from beneath the sunny cave. "Which of you will dance me out today? Which one will carry me into the bright heat?" One screams: "She will be mine!" The other tugs: "Even if the devil!" Dance, dance, Świdrygo! Dance, dance, Midrygo! Until the earth is uprooted, Until the darkness burns! Dance, dance until you die, Until you lose your breath— For the Midday Queen laughs, From beyond the graves of two! The girl split into sister and reflection, One sees with her left eye, the other brings life. So they roused them to dance as if for a bloody war, Thyme was dying underfoot from the din. To the back! To the back! Whirlwind and dust and laughter! One screams: "Die alive!" The other loses his breath! Dance, dance, Świdrygo! Dance, dance, Midrygo! Let the coffins sway To the rhythm of the cemetery roads! Dance, dance until the end, Until you forget your face— Who is the shadow? Who is the person? You won't be able to tell the difference anymore! They laid her in two coffins, in one dark grave, But underground, the body continues to dance every day. The staves beat against the threshing floor, the earth rumbles dully, And above the grave, death whirls with its mad soul. They no longer know where the right side is, Where the left side is, Who is the real Świdryga, And who is the mad shadow. Dance, dance, Świdryga! Dance, dance, Midryga! Until the abysses open Beneath the swirling dream! Dance, dance to your doom, Until your last breath — Because whoever dances with death once, Will forever live with it... 🎵 About the song: This song was created with the support of artificial intelligence, which helped compose the music and generate the vocals.
