- Ancient Lithuanian war song “Žvingia, žvingia (Neighs, neighs) performed by Lithuanian band Ugniavijas. This song is particularly interesting, because it is one of the few songs about saving or bringing back a soldier from the war. Very few of those are known.
This is a live acoustic performance from the band's concert in November 9th 2019 in Kaunas, Lithuania.
Lithuanian and English lyrics provided below.
Many thanks to Gintautas Mauricas for recording this video.
Dainos žodžiai:
Žvingia žvingia širvas žirgas unt stainias,
Verkia verkia mus bralalis ant vainas.
Aš nusiųsiu margą paukštį in tėvų,
Kad vaduotų manį jaunų iš vainas,
Kad parduotų parų jaučių dėl manį.
Neparduosiu paras jaučių dėl tavį,
Nevaduosiu tavį jaunų iš vainas.
Žvingia žvingia širvas žirgas unt stainias
Verkia verkia mus bralalis ant vainas.
Aš nusiųsiu margą paukštį in mamų,
Kad vaduotų manį jaunų iš vainas,
Kad parduotų parų karvių dėl manį.
Neparduosiu paras karvių dėl tavį,
Nevaduosiu tavį jaunų iš vainas.
Žvingia žvingia širvas žirgas unt stainias,
Verkia verkia mus bralalis ant vainas.
Aš nusiųsiu margą paukštį in bralį,
Kad vaduotų manį jaunų iš vainas.
Kad parduotų parų žirgų dėl manį.
Neparduosių paras žirgų dėl tavį,
Nevaduosiu tavį jaunų iš vainas.
Žvingia žvingia širvas žirgas unt stainias,
Verkia verkia mus bralalis ant vainas.
Aš nusiųsiu margą paukštį in sesį,
Kad vaduotų manį jaunų iš vainas,
Kad parduotų rūtų daržų dėl manį.
Neparduosiu rūtų daržų dėl tavį,
Nevaduosiu tavį jaunų iš vainas.
Žvingia žvingia širvas žirgas unt stainias
Verkia verkia mus bralalis ant vainas.
Aš nusiūsiu margą paukštį in mielų,
Kad vaduotų manį jaunų iš vainas,
Kad parduotų aukso žiedų dėl manį.
Aš parduosiu aukso žiedų dėl tavį,
Aš vaduosiu tavį jaunų iš vainas,
Aš vaduosiu tavį jaunų iš vainas.
English lyrics:
A grey horse neighs in the barn
Our brother crying deeply in the war.
I will send a colourful bird to my father‘s,
So he could save me from the war,
So he could sell a couple of bulls for me.
I won‘t sell a couple of bulls for you,
I won‘t save you young from the war.
A grey horse neighs in the barn
Our brother crying deeply in the war.
I will send a colourful bird to my mother‘s,
So she could save me from the war,
So she could sell a couple of cows for me.
I won‘t sell a couple of cows for you,
I won‘t save you young from the war.
A grey horse neighs in the barn
Our brother crying deeply in the war.
I will send a colourful bird to my brother‘s,
So he could save me from the war,
So he could sell a couple of horses for me.
I won‘t sell a couple of horses for you,
I won‘t save you young from the war.
A grey horse neighs in the barn
Our brother crying deeply in the war.
I will send a colourful bird to my sister‘s,
So she could save me from the war,
So she could give her Rue‘s flower-garden for me.
I won‘t give my Rue‘s flower-garden for you,
I won‘t save you young from the war.
A grey horse neighs in the barn
Our brother crying deeply in the war
I will send a colourful bird to my dear one‘s,
So she could save me from the war
So she could give her ring of gold for me.
I will give my ring of gold for you,
I will save you young from the war.

Keistoka. Proporcingai prastėjant moderniajai muzikai, pradėjau vis labiau domėtis senesne, iki kol priėjau prie štai tokių. Ir išties, kuo pasaulis darosi vis materialesnis, žmones pasiilgsta paprastesnių dalykų, dvasingumo, gamtos. Nuoširdi pagarba, vyrai.
Dėkui didelis. Kaip sako patarlės, paprastas, tai ne prastas ;)
Nesutiksiu, Klaudijau, su vienu žodžiu- "paprastesnių", man Ugniavijas yra kažkas nepaprasto.. Ir jau ne vienerius metus. Ačiū, vyrai!
Tikra tiesa

That one dislike was from someone who lost the war while this song was sung 😂
Dislike from hell
I am a decendant of Lithuanians 🇱🇹 I AM FROM BRAZIL !! I Like The Music
Paulavičius is a common surename here, sveikas, broli!
Wow. How did Lithuanians end up there.. super cool
Greetings!
Running from the war. Quite a few of them turned up in South America.
@@BIMMERBOIImy ancestors fled WWII to Brazil and others stayed in Lithuania to fight the Nazis and Soviets. My great-grandmother who was born at her parents' house in Lithuania the house still exists and I have relatives there I want to go to Lithuania in addition to knowing the country and visiting my relatives who stayed.
Im a lifelong english speaker of largely British ancestry, and hearing these songs gives me goose bumps. Theres something ethereal to these chants. Something deep and eternal that words cannot explain, something that used to be a part of greater Europe but is now very rare and hard to find but seems to be exhibited just under the surface in the folk of Lithuania, and it touches my heart deeply.
Hello from Ukraine.
Thank you for popularization of lithunian traditions❤
Ačiū🇱🇹
Дякую🇺🇦
Thank you too!
Stay strong. Слава Украини
Thanks! Героям Слава!@@vytautassulcas6494
learned it by heart to sing it during work. So the whole neighbourhood gets culturally enriched in a right way :)
Ragnar Hilm wow, it must have been a challenge! Where are you from if we may ask?
Not actually. :) Tu Pucine was a bit harder because of the correct phrasing.
I’m from the Czech Republic.
Ragnar Hilm good for you! :) happy to have such fans!
Pati geriausia patriotinė lietuviškai grupe 🇱🇹💪❤
It's beautiful from France
Lecelte merci!
This hits my soul. Polish and Lithuanian decendant on mom's side. Blessings from USA.
I am American born of Lithuanian descent. Your music inspires me to learn more about our heritage and older customs. Puiku ačiū!
It is very pleasing to know that we inspire people for such things!
move back to hyperborea
My great grandparents immigrated to the United States from Lithuania sometime prior to World War I. Very little has been passed down through the generations and I am trying to reconnect to find out more about my ancestors and their traditions. There is something powerful in old Lithuanian music, including this song, and when I listen, it almost feels like something is awakened deep in the pit of my heart. Thank you for sharing it with me!
❤
Deep
I play it over and over again....fan from Germany 🙋🏻♀️
Danke schön! ;)
@@thatclonetrooperintheback cope
American here who's a third generation of Lithuanian ancestry, it is beautiful and a inspiration to hear traditional Lithuanian music and reconnect to my roots, labai ačiū ir nekantrauju išgirsti daugiau 😌🇱🇹
The interesting fact is that the pagan culture of Lithuania is so much similar to the Vedic culture (Hinduism) of India. 🇮🇳🇱🇹.
@@vasanthakumar526 I’ve done research about this and I’ve read comments relating to this, it’s so fascinating even the language maintains conservative roots to the proto indo European language (alongside ancient Vedic Sanskrit) which baffles linguists seeing how an ancient Baltic language has relations with a language from India 😎
(Noticed your name is written in Thamizh, Vanakkam, ungalai santhithathil magizhchi)
@@mravalik வணக்கம் (Vanakkam) sir. Mikka Nandri, Ungalai kandadhil/sandhithadhil magizhci. Yes I am Tamil. What you have said is absolutely right. I saw your comments in Tamil language related videos. I see your comment in this video too that you are an American-Lithuanian so that I share this fact. Almost the Lithuanian and Vedic gods are same.
Vedic gods - Lithuanian pagan gods
Indra - Perkunas (thunder God)
Agni - Gabija (Fire goddess)
Bhumi - Zemyna (Earth/land goddess)
And the list go on but I forgot most of them so I stop here.
Today Hinduism is slightly different from Proto - European pagan religion because
Hinduism = Vedic culture + Dravidian folk cultures (mainly Tamizh culture) + Other local Indian folk culture. Vedic culture was brought to India by Aryans and the Vedic sanskrit is the holy language of Vedas. So India retains the old European pagan practices in the form of Hinduism. Now Lithuania 🇱🇹 brought it's Baltic pagan culture to this modern world. Very interesting. Almost Abrahamic religions erase those precious Old European culture from Europe which is very heartbreaking. Thank you once again.
@@vasanthakumar526 Modern indians have nothing to do with Baltic people, So funny to see all those indians actually believing they are proto indo europeans and baltic poeple are their ancestors🤣🤣
@vasanthakumar526 Fire in Lithuanian language is ugnis, so similar to that fire goddess Agni
*Radau visai atsitiktinai. Buvau maloniai nustebintas! Ačiū*
Labai džiaugiamės, ačiū už gerą žodį!
Amazing song and melody. Love from Greece 🇬🇷. Keep it up Lithuanians!
Cheers and thanks a lot!
I’m the fan of Ugniavijas
Thank you for that :)
Great performance, amazing song. Greetings from Poland.
I've always loved European folk/pagan music.
Greetings from Macedonia
Many thanks!

Wish I could visit Lithuania and see you guys perform live! Blessings from The United States!
We hope to have a chance to perform in the USA one day :)
@@Ugniavijas That would be awesome! I imagine a Lithuanian song and dance festival would love to have you guys
dinojack9000 I guess we will have to make inquiries :)
That would be nice to visit Lithuania. My two younger sisters and I were adopted from Poland and our paternal grandmother was from Kaunas.
@@macinhorstemeyer1961 They play each year at Menui Juodaragis, you should check it out, hope to be there aswell once it starts again.
Спасибо за Ваше творчество. Жалко что я не знаю литовский и не могу понять текст, но ощущаю какую то близость мне Вашего языка
Greetings from France!
Hello there and thanks!
Top performance. You guys are a good definition of what our European heritage is all about!
Thank you for your kind words!
You have a new fan from South Africa. Very well done! I like your style of singing a lot.
Many thanks for your kind words! Best wishes to your far-off land :)
net šiurpuliukai nuėjo 🥹 ačiū jumi, vyrai, už nuostabią muzikinę patirtį. sunku nusakyti, kiek daug jausmų dabar širdy. stipriausi - dėkingumas, džiaugsmas ir malonumas.

Thanks for listening!
Labai patinka jūsų kūryba ir interpretacija! Įtraukianti muzika ir žavus dainavimas. Daug sėkmės jums! Linkėjimai iš Slovakijos :)
Ačiū didelis!
Feels weird, looking into my culture as I get older makes me want to go back to lithuania more and more. Craving that reconnect with my roots.
Moved to the UK when I was a child and grew up here. I still remember going mushroom picking with my mociute.
This music really makes me miss my heritage
It is not so easy to break up from your own roots. Nor it is necessary :)
Greetings from Turkey. I listened Karo Dainos again and again but I can 't understand lyrics. Thanks for translation. I'm a big fan from far away :)
Thanks! We are very glad to know that our songs are spreading and are being listened to not only in our Homeland :)
Just think of War Songs :)
Peace to everyone ❤️❤️❤️
Песни меня вдохновляют на изучение языка предков)
Это хорошо) учите, вы не пожалеете, считается что литовский даже старше древнегреческого, он мало изменился за последние лет 300, сохранив в себе все эти приятные для души архаизмы, при этом, изучая его, вы сможете понять тонкости текстов народных литовских песен и заметите, насколько у них много общих контекстов и сюжетов(например, в песне “Palaukėj, pamiškėj(В поле, в пустоши)” поётся об умирающем от ран воине, который просит кукушку полететь к его родителям и сказать о том, что его здесь, в поле, смертельно ранили, и что его единственная участь - жениться в поле на своей боевой сабле, то есть, на смерти своей. Я думаю тут понятно, какую песню это напоминает) с русскими песнями :)
Язык красивый и действительно ближе к балто-славянскому праязыку чем современные славянские. Литовский вообще считается самым архаичным из всех индоевропейских.
Did you start learning? :)
Мне он напомнил древно беларусский
Very beautifully sung. Your voices fit together perfectly
Amber Aerts many thanks!
Great Song and great band. Saw them in Kilkim Zaibu this year!!! Greetings from Slovenia!!!
Many thanks, Tomas! It was a difficult concert for us there because of the sound issues, but the atmosphere was great :)
I love this! This language sounds close to my ancestral language ♥I can sing many of yer songs. The drums and vocals are just so perfect in this one.
I love listening to this while training.
Nuostabus jausmas klausant. Ačiū. (:
Ačiū Jums :)
Meh vis gerai 🙈😜🤪
That is beautiful, makes me proud to be European. Thank you for the music and for keeping the spirit alive
Thank you very much!
Nuoširdiai ačiu! Dar viena graži daina
Ačiū, kad klausot :)
Amazing song and performance! Love listening to you guys in the mornings! Hi from Kansas City, Missouri!
Many thanks, we are glad to hear that we have fans in the USA! :)
Flows very well. Nicely done.
Thank you very much

Labai jau nekokios ten sąlygos teisinės, tai kažkaip nekišam nosies kolei kas.

Hope it is Helsinki, not hell :D
@@Ugniavijas 😁no, its Hel! Northern Poland, near by Gdańsk, Hel peninsula.
Puikus projektas, senos dainos vėl prikeltos ir padovanotos visiems, šaunuoliai !!!
Ačiū labai!
Это великолепно.
Sposibo!
I love this type of singing, and Lithuanian Dainos are so beautiful. Is there a description for this type of musical style? Like "Polyphonic Minor Key", lol I don't know. I would just like to learn more about it.
Thank you for your kind words! We just call it liaudies dainos or folk songs. I am sure here are lots of experts who could provide you a more "scientific" description. We just love what we do :)
Your music means so much for me..beautiful, thank you
Many thanks, Iannis! Greetings from Lithuania!

Marvellous!
Thank you!
I became a big fan of yours after this song. You are the best! Greetings from south Russia.
PS Thank you for translations you make. It helps a lot
Thank you so much! Very glad you like it and welcome!
Greetings from serbian pagan. You even sound better in live performance than on studio recording. There is something powerfull in your song. If there is a pagan heaven, this song would be perfect to play at the gates. Slava!!!
Many thanks for your kindness!
Slava i tebi brate moj
Nice lyrics, beutiful in it's simplicity.
The same pattern - father, mother, brother and sister won't do something, only the dear one is ready to do this - I know from one folk song from the eastern regoin of Slovenia, but the teme is completely different. This pattern shows, that the song is raly old. Ouer song has on the end one more strophe, which is much younger is says: the dear is better then four others; then father and mother, then sisters and brothers. For my taste the added paraphrase spoils all song. So I'm glad to see, that your song reiaind unspoiled.
It would be great to have lyrics and translations of all songs in your albums.
I listened to Karo Dainos and Ugniavijas and I like boht, the second a tiny bit more.
Make more of such albums!
Many thanks for your comment. We are working on adding lyrics to all of our youtube videos. We'll get there, I believe :)
@@pytis I can't agree with you. This song shows war as somthing sad, something painful. See the first twoo verses of each strophe. The horse in barn, at home, is neighing, is making satisfaied, merry voices, while brother is crying in the war. And this verses repeat through the intire song, what clearly shows it's non war liking prespective.
@@pytis All wars come form ambitions, greed, hatred, unjustice, narrovmindednes. God, who is love, forgiveness, jstice, grace, has nothing to do whit wors. I believe, tehy are influenced by him, who was the snake in Eden's garden.
@@pytis You totally misunderstood the lyrics of he song. It is about asking a ransom to free a war prisoner from captivity.
Hello from America, this music is so beautiful and it always calms my one year old son down and makes him sleepy 💗 my great grandmother was from Lithuania and it's so soothing to hear music in her language 💖
Dėkoju labai
Hello dear sir, first of all thank you from France for this wonderfull song :-) small question, would it be possible to have this version as well on spotify? I do prefer it compared to the studio version (which is really nice as well but I really like the vibe of this one)
Hello and thanks for listening to our songs! It is on Spotify only as a studio recording, here comes the direct link: open.spotify.com/track/0XsK66PuxpBoclK6yKt0wd We will consider adding live performances there too.

Je suis tombé par hasard sur ce groupe et j ai ecoute toutes les chansons , c est super surtout celle qui parle de trompettes et de suedois .
Kia Pai! I found out about you guys a few months ago, you guys are great, I'd say you've now got a new fan from New Zealand. It's pretty cool how you guys sing all these old songs of your people.
Thank you very much! It is indeed very nice to know that our songs find way to the hearts of people on the other side of the globe :)
Its almost like Hobbit, i love this style. You must go to Eurovision!
Many thanks! We will consider this opportunity :)
I love this song. The acoustics are great and take me to another time. when are you coming to Germany? 😉
Thank you for your kind words. We would love to - first thing after we get an invitation to some kind of event there :)
I'm a hip hop head..... this is dope. I love it. The lyrics are deep.... save the young from war mayn... Love is the key !!!
Maybe some day we will se some kind of a hip hop remix of this one? :D

When and where is your next concert?
In Polish, bird is either "Ptak" or "Ptaszysko" ("fat bird") or "Ptaszek" (diminutive), which is a bit similar to "paukštį", and "vainas" would be "wojna" in Polish, and "Stainias" would be "stajnia" for Barn.
Yes, there are a lots of similar words in Polish and Lithuanian - we lived together for quite some time :)
What's the lyrics of this?
Please read the description of this video, you will find it there.

Nice song!😎😎😎
Thanks!
Lithuania's pretty cool. I'm from America, and it's a shame most people here either don't know of it or know of it because of its suicide rates.
Or from Lithuanians going to the US for work.
Thanks! Not the best reputation, I guess. But we also have some good stuff around :)
Labai graži daina :)
Ačiū!
Ar kažkam irgi kilo klausimas is kur jie surado šitas dainas kurios buvo pamirštos tūkstantį metu?
Pamirštos? Kas ir kur jums buvo pamiršta? Tai liaudies dainos, kurios buvo dainuojamos visą tą laiką (na su tūkstančiu metų švelniai tariant perlenkėte).
Dėkuidie, ne visos pamirštos, pilni tomai prirašyti - tik dainuok!
Manoma, kad kai kurios jų mena tikrai žilą senovę, kai mūsų protėviai dar mamutus vaikėsi palei ledyną ;)
@@Ugniavijas kai mūsų protėviai vaikėsi mamutus jie net nebuvo indoeuropiečiais ir kalbėjo greičiausiai ugrofiniška kalba. Gerokai vėliau atvykus indoeuropiečiams ir susimaišius su vietiniais gyventojais gavosi baltai. :)
Gal yra nuorodu i jusu programas? Noreciau koki karta is uzsienio gryzes prisijungt gyvai!
kazkuom jusu muzika uznesa i skandinavu stiliu :) Wardruna megstu paklausyt, na labai uznesa. ar tas bugnelis, ar gilus vyriski balsai… zodziu siurpuliukai

It is a pity that the ancient culture of Lithuanians and other Baltic countries (Poles, Latvians, Estonians) is suppressed because of politicians (especially Germans). No one wants to hear about it... And before the Roman Empire was created, one of the centers of civilization was right next to the Baltic.
poles are not baltic, and poles with russians were the ones suppressing culture not Germans...
Niekaip nesuprantu, kaip tai ne nr. 1 etno ir nėra tarp top 5 Lietuviškų grupių.. Jūs nerealūs.
