My roommate introduced me to this band and now I have a new obsession.

English translation of the lyrics:

“Once upon a time

There was a bottomless blue lake

At the end of the world with

An uninhabited beautiful land

When the spring time came

The migrant birds returned to the lake flying and singing

From far far away place

The old father lake was waving joyfully

When he saw his offspring, all grown up

He rejoiced all day long

He sang all night long

The time flied swiftly

Here came the middle of summer

What beautiful happiness

How joyful his waves

There was a female swan hadn’t found her lover

She searched for him endlessly and found him lastly

They were delighted in their late found love

They loved each other as nothing else matters

A happy news of expecting came

Promised each other to be together forever

Married in their father lake, love and happiness followed

Seven offspring were born to them

How beautiful was life

How tasty was happiness

The sun goes down, here came the chill

The moon goes dark and hides behind the clouds

Fierce cold came and the water body chilled

Frozen the streams and the whole earth

It was time to travel back to warm land, but her cygnets were too young

They tried so hard to fly with half grown feathers

She took her young ones under her wings to save them from coldness

Sacrificed her life and left this world

As the fire of her eyes quenched her tears stayed pouring

As the last breath left her body her heartache was still there

Died in her tears for half-grown feathers The Mother Swan

Departed in lullabying between sleeping and awake The Mother Swan”

Apparently, the legend continues that from those seven offspring, 21 tribes were risen, and they owe everything to that mother swan’s sacrifice. Mongolian rock is beautiful...
