Good for you, since the song is really sad... They sing about a young lady waiting for her darling to return from war, talking with clouds and sky and asking about him. The wind brings a stained in blood leaf which falls on her palm, and she recognizes it as Stribog's (Стрибог, Slavic wind-god) answer, thus drowning in river willingly, begging her life to forgive her for throwing it away, as she sees her darling's face on the skies while dying.
What puts emphasis on her tragedy is the whistle in the end. For a few minutes, you can only hear the river flow, and then the whistle starts to play - as if someone came to river bank, not knowing what happened there, sat down, and cheerfully started to play the music in the place she died, which symbolically shows that she will never be remembered by anyone.
Btw, it's perhaps interesting to point out that melody being played on that whistle is traditional Ukrainian melody, performed also by Veter Vody (Ветер Воды), titled "Zapadno-Ukrainskaja" (Западно-Украинская). Kind regards.
anyone can tell me the instrument at the end ? is it Svirel'?

Gods, Masha has a really beautiful voice, just that intro nearly brought me to tears.
Best song on the album, if not one of the best pagan metal songs period...

The end... after the nature interlude, when the pipes start playing. There is a Romanian/Vlach influence to be heard.

Co tu dużo mówić?
Wchuj kawałek.
Szkoda że we Wrocku nie zagrali bisa (Korpiklani bisowali nascie chyba razy).
Ale i tak nie żałuje. Przyszedłem tam tylko dla Arkony.
