You denied me, O warrior – now reap what you sow! No more glory shall ever your chieftain heart spin, And your soul shall find solace in sorrow no more! I – your shadow and mirror, your silence and scream. In the depths of your mind I forever abide. I am Cold, I am Wind, I’m the tall River Reed – You’re the reason for which I was born, I reside! Chorus: I’m relentless Fea, and the black-winged Badb, Victory’s Macha, and Nemain of dread! I cannot be weak – and in that I am trapped! I’m a Goddess! A Woman! A Pillar of fate! Why commit such a folly, O hero of mine, Turn your back on the goddess of battle and storm? Be you cursed, my beloved, my foe intertwined! I despise you, my twin, in your reckless true form! You have known – those who scorn the divine shall not thrive. You were born out of dust, and to dust you shall fall. You’re no more without me – and I, torn in half… Such a waste. Was it pride? Why, Cú Chulainn, at all? Chorus: I’m relentless Fea, and the black-winged Badb, Victory’s Macha, and Nemain of dread! I cannot be weak – and in that I am trapped! I’m a Goddess! A Woman! A Pillar of fate! No more glory shall ever your chieftain soul claim – You’ll find only your death in this war, harsh and wide. You shall perish… But gods! What becomes of my flame When the one who stood equal no longer shall ride?.. Chorus: I’m relentless Fea, and the black-winged Badb, Victory’s Macha, and Nemain of dread! I cannot be weak – and in that I am trapped! I’m a Goddess! A Woman! A Pillar of fate! I cannot be weak – and in that I am trapped! I’m a Goddess! A Woman! A Pillar of fate! ⩹⋯∘∘∘⊹🔽 RU 🔽⊹∘∘∘⋯⩺ Я привыкла во всём и всегда побеждать. Ты отверг меня, воин, себе на беду! Не снискать тебе более славы вождя, Не избавится от невесёлости дум! Я – твое дополненье, зеркальный двойник, Я – в глубинах сознанья, у самого дна. Сильный Холод и Ветер, Высокий Тростник, Ты – тот смысл, для которого я рождена! Припев: Беспощадная Фи, чернокрылая Бадб, Нимэин и победная Маха – суть Я! Я не в силах быть слабой – и этим слаба! Я Богиня и Женщина! Столп бытия! Для чего ты свершил сей ошибочный шаг, Мой герой, отказавший богине войны? Проклинаю тебя, мой возлюбленный враг, Ненавижу тебя, мой безумный двойник! Ты же знал – тем не жить, что богов оскорбят, Ты из пыли рожден и погибнешь в пыли. Без меня ты никто. Как и я без тебя Как же глупо. Зачем? Для чего, Кухулин? Припев: Беспощадная Фи, чернокрылая Бадб, Нимэин и победная Маха – суть Я! Я не в силах быть слабой – и этим слаба! Я Богиня и Женщина! Столп бытия! Не снискать тебе более славы вождя – Ты добьешься лишь смерти на этой войне. Ты погибнешь. Но как, небеса! Как же я, Без того, кто – единственный – равен был мне?.. Припев: Беспощадная Фи, чернокрылая Бадб, Нимэин и победная Маха – суть Я! Я не в силах быть слабой – и этим слаба! Я Богиня и Женщина! Столп бытия! Я не в силах быть слабой – и этим слаба! Я Богиня и Женщина! Столп бытия! ⩹⋯∘∘⊹🔽 TAGS 🔽⊹∘∘⋯⩺ [Intro: The growing sound of war drums sets the rhythm into which the bagpipes and lute are woven.
