H-Ural - Ily Vukhalty Ar (The Song of the Bear Coming Down from the Sky) (live)

H-Ural's lyrics combine myths and legends of Khanty and Mansi, love poetry and problems of the modern civilization. The band sings in four languges: Khanty, Mansi, Russian and English. The song is about the traditional Khanty and Mansi Bear Cult. A Bear Celebration continues 4 or 5 days and about 300 songs are being sung through it. This is one of these songs.
Lyrics translation in english
Ily vukhalty ar
Father Torum told me
"Listen to me son
You must be so careful
When you touch the ground

When you come on Earth
Just beware of men
Never ruin the houses
Even if you can"
Ily vukhalty ar

When I came from heaven
Hunger made me wild
I was bate by gnats
Like a child I cried

I was scaring people
Looking for some meal
When I met a deer
I just had to kill
Ily vukhalty ar

Now the hunters' coming
Soon they will be here
Help me Father Torum
Vengeance is so near

You just made me mortal
Left here all alone
Sacrificed your son
Why should I be gone?
Ily vukhalty ar
