Исихия - Господи Возвах / Isihia - Lord I Called Thee

A slideshow video, presenting the second track Gospodi Vozvah (Lord, I called Thee) from Isihia's 2001 "Isihia" album. The magic of their music is indeed worth sharing with the whole world!
---
Isihia (Bulgarian: Исихия, "hesychia", coming from the Greek word "ἡσυχία" and meaning "stillness, rest, quiet, silence") is a Bulgarian music band founded in 2000, the style of which unites elements of Bulgarian folklore and Hesychast Christian chant of the 14th century to create an atmosphere of Balkan spiritual mysticism. Many of the group's songs cover topics of the medieval history of Bulgaria, mostly the period of the Ottoman invasion of the Balkans and the attempts on its repulsion and the early Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, i.e. the 14th-15th century, but also other moments of hardship such as the tragic Battle of Klyuch of 1014.

Can I find the lyrics anywhere? I don't speac Bulgarian nor Slavonic, but I can read cyrillic.

@dragossh It's the beginning of Psalm 140: "Господи, воззвах к тебе, услыши мя..."/"Lord, I call Thee, hear me...". It's a traditional Orthodox chant, although the real Orthodox chant doesn't stop with those few words.

[ikolev]

Да исправится молитва моя, яко кадило пред Тобою, воздеяние руку моею, жертва вечерняя.

Господи, воззвах к Тебе, услыши мя: вонми гласу моления моего, внегда воззвати ми к Тебе.

Положи, Господи, хранение устом моим, и дверь ограждения о устнах моих;

Не уклони сердце мое в словеса лукавствия, непщевати вины о гресех.

староболгарский совпадает с церковно-славянским? если так, то современный русский язык ближе всех остальных славянских языков к церковно-славянскому.

@NikeBG nice thoughts:) unfortunately a bit too optimistic.. i guess you can't overcome nationalism through super nationalistic music such as isihia's. (i also like them regardless of their ideological baggage) pozdrav!
