Russian folk song, as sung by the Siberian Old Believers ensemble, Sud'binushka.
lyrics
Black raven, friend, why have you flown here from so far away?
Black raven—you have brought us a white hand with a ring on it!
I stepped out, I stepped out and I staggered onto the porch
For by the ring I recognized that it was my lover whose hand the raven had brought!
Ey! This hand is that of my darling, killed in the war!
He is killed, and lies unburied in a faraway foreign land.
A lost masterpiece of Brazilian music, from an artist who remains a mystery to this day, get second life via a glorious reissue. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 23, 2016
