about

When was the last time you visited the woods, listened to the birches whisper and let all your worries disappear? Recorded in the home studio during quarantine, using banjo, dulcimer and harmonica, the new single by KCHÖRTOO will immediately transport you to a quiet forest. Stephan Friedman, the man behind KCHÖRTOO, resides in the Levant, but his soul is in the taiga forests of the Urals, where he was born and raised. His genuinely personal music extols the gloomy enigma of the Ural Mountains.

lyrics

Расскажи мне, мать-берёза
Где у леса берега
Среди травок и стрекозок
Я спою твои луга
Тонкой тропкой утром ранним
Я войду под свод ветвей
И в весёлости бескрайней
Растворюсь среди огней

Здесь морошка и опята
Можжевельник, зверобой
Все твоей тоской объято
Все зовёт меня с собой
В тёплый вечер за калиткой
Я вдохну твои цветы
Ночью темной и безликой
Уплывём лишь я и ты

***

Tell me, Mother Birch,
Where the forest outskirts run;
Amid the weeds and the dragonflies
I will sing of your meadows;
By a narrow path, in the early morning,
I will enter under the archway of branches
And with infinite joyfulness
Will dissolve among the lights.

There is cloudberry and honey mushrooms
Juniper and St. John's wort —
All is filled with your longing,
All is calling me along;
On a warm evening, behind the garden gate,
I will breathe in your flowers;
In the night, dark and faceless,
You and I shall drift away.
