When the day goes away, everything falls quiet.
I enter your chamber, and my spirit it moans.
I feel a craving as if for a drink of water on a hot day.
I have no strength to bear my loneliness any more.
Only stars shimmer for us in the sky.
The crescent will weave a ribbon into your braids.
My chest it burns hot with passion.
There is no more time to waste.
I love you with all my heart,
My Black Lady, my Black Lady.
The silent darkness hides your face,
Barbara!
My hands are reaching out to touch you.
I can hear your voice in the whispering wind.
When the day goes away, everything falls quiet.
I enter your chamber, and my spirit it moans.
I crave to see you in my dreams again, never to wake,
For you cannot come back to me.
Czornaja Panna
Kali dzień sychodzić precz, usio zamirae.
Ja idu u twoj pakoj i duch ścinaje.
Prahnu, byccam by hłytok u czas śpiakoty.
Niama mocau bolsz trywać adzinoty.
Tolki zory milhaciać nam z niabiosau.
Miesiac stużku zaplacie u twaje kosy.
Hrudzi połymiem harać skwarna.
Niemahczyma bolsz hublać czasu marna.
Sercam swaim u ciabie zakachany,
Czornaja panna, czornaja panna.
U ciemry maukliwaj twar twoj schawany,
Barbara!
Ruki imknucca da ciabie dakranucca.
U szepacie wietra ja czuju twoj hołas.
Kali dzień sychodzić precz, usio zamirae.
Ja idu u twoj pakoj i duch ścinaje.
Prahnu znou saśnić ciabie i nie pracznucca,
Bo nia zmożasz da mianie ty wiarnucca.

I happened upon Batushka by clicking on a suggested video on YouTube and Yekteniya 3 was the one that I heard first. From there, I was hooked. Yektoniya 3 constantly haunts me to the point where I have to get my daily/weekly fix of it. Overall the whole Litourgiya album is perfection from start to finish. I am enamored by it all from the chants to the harsh vocals to the energetic guitar playing to the thunderous drums. Excellent! Lanna E
