VE STINU STARYCH DUBU
IN THE SHADE OF OLD OAKS
(by Well)
Look, how the human kingdom crumbles
Bells of white churches sound for the last time
Towers despair, time turns them to dust
but wind murmurs eternally in mighty crowns
Somewhere, where a magical sap streams
that´s where a wise pilgrim is lost in thought
In the shade of old oaks, where roads of wolves cross
In the shade of old oaks, there I can hear anthems of forests
Songs about ancient fights, about night and cleanness
In the shade of old oaks our fires won´t go out
Look, how disappears what seems to be strong
Rare metal of gravestones will flake away in the storm
Their proud epigraphs will be scattered by wind
About real fame trees sing in the forest
Bones of real heroes
will be covered with gold of autumn

VZACNE SETKANI
PRECIOUS MEETING
Snowstorm
Forest below Radyni
Frost and animals
Nocturnal footsteps
Shivers run down the spine
Sight unmistakable
Frost all around
Is silent, yet speaks
Snow-covered peak
Interlacing shrubberies
In innumerable trunks
Imp´s face was seen
Frozen fields
Icy breath
Frostbitten trunks,
yet life inside them
Blanket of ice guards a treasure in earth hidden
Massive rock, realm ancient
Snow and frost, elements real, guard the secret of cold
Narrow darkened scarp sings a nature song
A figure dark in the snow
What a precious meeting
Truth in rock since ages
Only that natural
In every corner of forest
Below the castle Radyne
There have resided imps since ages
They can be seen in the trees
Blanket of ice guards a treasure in earth hidden
Massive rock, realm ancient
Snow and frost, elements real, guard the secret of cold
Narrow darkened scarp sings a nature song
Thoughts are connected with the forest
Even they know about us
They guard with us forever
The gates of the Empire of Trollech

V KODSKEM POLESI
IN KODSKE FORESTLAND
I feel a big day of nature
Majestic landscape full of trees, streams and rock
A part of the Trollech Empire - Kodske forestland
Forest scenery
Endless avenues
Deep gorges
Crystal streams
In the cold morning in spring I enter into Kodske forestland
At the gates I feel life of forest and hidden beings
I know about them well and it sent shivers down my spine
Only a little shines the morning sun beyond hills
I stand rooted to the spot and stare at the horizon
Huge deers go along horizon
I bow to their beauty and hail forest gods
I still see them walking among shrubberies
Even I stand on the horizon, I gaze at the endless forests
I have many friends here, what more to long for?
As if I flew, full of strenght for long roads
There are many of them and all beautiful, forest....
In the valley there's a stream murmuring, cows are cawing
I walk there where a magical power leads me
Thousends of forest anthems sound in my mind
I am only visitor, yet I feel shades of home
Depth of thruth is before me, though for now is hidden
I mustn´t be overcome with trust in wrong god
That old tree which called me
To touch a bark, to stroke by hand
In embrace I stare towards the crown
As if I kissed a woman, I cannot leave now
I will go on along path, a spring awaits me
Natural song is sang by forest and a fairy is with me
Limpid water cools my and her hands
So much I swell with love for the forest and fairy by my side
I would like to stay but my journey goes on
I cannot wait anymore, I set out on a journy to landscape
Konepruské caves will be my next destination
I hope, not for a long time, I must say goodbye now
I will come back again into the real deep forests
To embrace lady from forest, I know which tree it is

DUJ, VETRE, DUJ
BLOW, WIND, BLOW
Wind!, carry my mind to rock and forests
To the distance where earth touches heaven
There where a boundary of human worlds ends
Beyond horizons dark into forest land
Wind!, carry my mind into land beyond hills
There sing aged trees songs ancient
Where stars shine more brightely by night
There speak trees on behalf of Gods
Blow, wind, blow songs of this land
Blow, wind, blow thousends of horns
Wind!, carry my mind towards the old gates
Where in every stone sleeps spirit of forefathers
There where falcon look towards celestial heights
In every tree hidden imp´s face
Wind!, carry my mind into the Trollech Empire
Blow, in honour of mighty guardians
Let the roar of our weapons is heard
Before we lay to rest by side of our fathers
Blow, wind, blow, let the forest rustle forever
Blow, wind, blow in honour of trees
Wind!, carry my body above the treetops
Throw my eyes on the dark night sky
Give my heart cold to God of thunders
Red blood as the earth eternal moisture
Wind!, carry my spirit in dark deep forests
So that I can see flocks of crows forever
So that I can feel the smell of trees forever
So that I can be on guard at the gates forever

ZNOVU CITIM PRAVDU
I FEEL THE TRUTH AGAIN
Clouds and winds carry voices of truth
Thousands of trees have power inside
Shadow of forests - life, there run water pure
Warm are voices of imps, the spirit of nature sings
Trollech is the music from forests and rivers
Trollech is the thunder over god treacherous
Trollech is the symbol of truth of nature
Trollech is the empire of forest beings
Crowns of leafy kings
live in forest and in my dreams
In the morning lake is hidden in the mist
I feel the truth again
Banks of rivers are protected by old willows
Trunks of poplars are swaying in the wind
Along the river a swan swims wistfully
I feel the truth again
Nature is the only one god and there isn´t any other truth
Only her laws the Empire of Trollech worships
Long roads into deep forests overgrown
To be closer to friends, to worship the truth of nature
The tree older than a man
the closest friend
understand me without words
All the feelings

V RACHOTU HROMU
IN GRUMBLE OF THUNDERS
From heaven fire falls
Burning ash from a Gods´ forge
Black smoke is absorbing the Sun
Like a wolf is feeding on sheep
Clouds black like ash, roar of the dragon sounds in the distance
In the glare of lightnings I see my future
Wind wails in valleys, that´s dance of (beings called) "Hejkal"
A macabre hoofbeat of celestial horses
With fire and water Gods baptize me
From cradle the thunder rumbles in my heart
Unrestrained demons fly up in the sky
I am hidden under the roof of trees
In wet meadows water lies
I see my future in grumble of thunders
In grumble of thunders - the song of a Gods´ forge
In grumble of thunders - the hoofbeat of celestial horses
In grumble of thunders - the spirit ancient is awaking
In grumble of thunders - the thunder sounds in my heart
Heavy clouds float, turn above hills
I´m the son of forests, guardian of Trollech
I was born by connecting heaven with earth
Mighty god of thunder gave me a breath.
("Hejkal" = little monster who lives in forests and haunts by hooting.)

BOURE NAVZDY ZURI
THE STORM ETERNALLY RAGES
The storm eternally rages
in the coldest dreams
Where I can see the black moon above forest
muddy plain invokes me
Torrents of rain are falling
unmercifully to the earth
Rocks are cracking terribly
I am going towards elements
Thunderous rumbling tripped me
I am soaking, soaking wet
Cold and darkened is the sky
To the sinister windstorm the world belongs now
Hail to the wind!
Hail to clouds!
Hail to the rain!
Hail to the storm!
Trollech - a heart of Trollech
Black are clouds over me
I wade through swamps
I drift off in treetops
but raging rain is driving me
Icy hailstones are falling
they shatter against rocks
It sends chills up my back
when I see natural treasures live
Roaring heart of forest depths
is a live soul
I am connected with the truth of trees
The storm eternally rages
Hail to forests!
Hail to trees!
Trollech - a heart of Trollech

NAROD OHNE, ZELEZA A POKLADU
THE NATION OF FIRE, IRON AND TREASURE
Underground holes full of treasure
The music of steel hammers sound
Tunnels decorated with stone pictures
Under rocky hills in the mist
Small peoples´caves faced with marble
Nation of darkened faces, but with mind good
Their paths through past trumpled down by people
Smith´s bellows blow songs of iron
This art borrowed by nations from the outside
Ornaments decorating columns of tunnels
Lambency of light is dancing in lamps
Halls full of life and sweat on faces...
Opulent halls of great kings
Beautiful weapons of underground armies
Smith´s art refines mind
In undergound cells treasure enormous
Breath of tunnels hides the strenght of nation
nation of fire, iron and treasure.

SKRYTI V MLZE
HIDDEN IN THE FOG
A continual strong rain
Night sheds the tears of nature
Thick forest swallows water
Greeenness of leaves will not fade out
Torrents of drops purge
Stones, trunks, stumps
Wet-loving monsters
Leave hideaways and caves
Water will close up
Cracks in the earth
Water will fill
Riverbed
Water will feed
Thirsty does
Water will drown
Damned people
Guardians of the Trollech empire hidden in the mist
A hard heart grows in a moist ground
Blood is green and bones have bark
Wrinkly hands attract mist
Trees from the Trollech empire hidden in the mist
Clouds shroud the sky and it rains heavily in the mountains
Water is the queen of life and death
Stronger than hammers of enraged people
Thunders, lightnings
Show the power
Of nature
Hidden in the mist since ages
Tree rings
Remember
Long days
Hidden in the mist for ever

VOLAM DO LESU
I CALL INTO FORESTS
I call into forests, I call into groves
And leaves of trees tremble
With a gust of wind in a nocturnal fear
Echo guards the sound of my voice
Each my word heals trees
Passions of a human malice are dying
I hold my faith with a touch of barks
I invoke my strength in flames of fire
It will strike a bare field with the roar
You all will be crushed by a fire dragon
I call the green knights into forests
I call the imps the shepherds into groves
The power of the green knights,
the kings from ferns, the shepherds of trees awakes
Under the banner with the capital "T"
A green tree will raise his head
And take roots into the ground
He will clasp nature in his arms
Gates will open, they will stick lances into the ground
Thousends of seeds will be poured with blood
I will call into the depths with a mighty voice
I am the son of forests, the guardian of trees

ZEME OBRU
LAND OF THE GIANTS
Heart of the mountain pulses, the earth breathes
Hills, mountains are alive
Haze raises from deep forests
At the foot of mountains, in the land of the giants
There are shadows longer and gloom is dark there
Their blood runs inside the hills
He who has a drink of it, will become a stone
In the dark mountains of the old giants
Covered with grass, covered with moss
Rain washes old wrinkly scars
Covered with forest, they kneel
They wait for their time to come, there in the land of the giants
A black cudgel crushes rocks and breaks mountain peaks
Heart of the mountain pulses, the earth breathes heavily
The earth resounds, the giant is drawing near heavily
Hills come to life, there in the land of the giants

STROMY JSOU V NAS
TREES ARE IN US
Khoad Dair sparkles with a power so strong
Khoad Nion they are bound with chains of power
Khoad Ailm consider your decisions thorougly
Khoad Phegos wisdom and skill rain
Trees are in us, forests are in us
Roots grow from body entrails
There is no imp here, only forest calm
Empty eyes overgrown with heather
Long hair will change to a grey lichen
Khoad Saille will redress the balance of soul
Khoad Eadhadh the future things are seen in fears
Khoad Beth old customs will go away with the past
Khoad Luis others have no power over you

ZELENA RUKA JARA
A GREEN HAND OF SPRING
The frozen ground was hit by astral dust
A hand gave brightness and face to meadows of flowers
A dark day, a bright night, nobody sleeps
Treetops are looking upward from the mist
One day dust and another one rain - a wound soaked by water
One day frost and another one bloom - a green hand of spring
Another beings are coming to life
The mighty Sun gives its warmth and light to all
Flowers are opening in thousands
Mist is rising over forest
These clouds shade so much
Even the Earth herself shades the Moon, flowers are fading
Wolves look through the shadow towards penumbra
Something has taken away their king, it was the Earth
One day dust and another one rain - a wound soaked by water
One day frost and another one bloom - a green hand of spring
Nocturnal fear was long enough
The lost king appeared
In the morning clouds will rise again
And the rain will fall
-x-
LJESI
A wild lord, old and wise
He waves to deep forests towards the morning
I pay tribute to the will to live under trees
I will dwell freely in his land
A voice sounds through the forest, it sings songs of wizardry
Listen to the silent words, the wilderness of forest sleeps in them
Become a guardian of favour, do not burn a tone by fire
Temples under the Sun, in ferns
His body is not of flesh, he gives a power to ancient spirits
He never sleeps, he guards the green realm all the time
In streams in forests you can behold a strange face
which will stay by you in hard times

Z KOTLE POPIJEJ
DRINK FROM THE CAULDRON
Over fires, over cauldrons among stones
Sparks fly under the night sky
Under trees, in needles among stumps
Fires are already burning like the stars in the sky
Hey hey hey drink from the cauldron
Hey hey hey start dancing
Over fires, over cauldrons in a thick blueberry bushes
I ponder over corners hidden under the ground
Under trunks, under rivers´ and brooks´ bottoms
I bump into aquatic spiders´ kingdom
Hey hey hey drink from the cauldron
Hey hey hey start dancing
The night is still young and we have enough drinks
Not a rain will spoil our cheerfulness
There boils a drink in the cauldron, that gives a power to dance
Songs sung for pleasure sound through the forest
We will make the fog
All kinds of herbal ingredients
Fern, cones, red heather
Colourful vapours rises up from the cauldron
Hey hey hey drink from the cauldron
Hey hey hey start dancing
Over fires, over cauldrons, in a green smoke
We can see wrinkled symbols of trees
Earth and sky revolve above our heads
We will contemplate in dreams till the morning

KDY® SE SETKÁ VODA S MRAZEM
When water meets frost
When water meets frost, it changes into ice
It holds veins of brooks as a white poison
Rimy trees stand in a cold greyness
In a wide landscape, in a dead silence, welcome the severe winter
The cold queen, lady from northern gates
Cool and cruel - she will dominate the whole land
And mortal songs of black ravens
The scarred land of bitter cold
A wild windstorm is dancing, red blood is slowly freezing
That cold queen is walking through a beaten snow
Pack of dusky wolves is dashing along her track
Mother gives her children a weird gift

V©EM BUDE SKRYTO TAJEMSTVÍ.
The secret will be hidden to all.
A human eye will not see a silver star´s brightness
We will cover the whole earth with a heavy fog
A human hand will not lift up the scented earth
Thus runs my spell, thus calls my voice
The golden sunshine will not stroke a human soul
We will cover the whole sky with a heavy smoke
Human words will perish in severe storms
Such is the wish, the tree of life will be hidden
A human ear will not hear a green giant´s rustle
We will plunge the whole landscape into a silent darkness
A human foot will not enter the holy border of a forest
Goddess Ailm will ascend the wooden throne
The secret will be hidden to all
What happens up, happens down as well.
