Mara Songtext
von Chur

Why are you, guelder rose, bent so low?
Why are you, mother, so sad, may I know?
Why is the Sun above me shines by black?
Why I walk barefoot and leave no tracks?

Mara, Eternal Grandmother
Covered with a black shawl, can you talk to me?
Tell me, oh, The Grey, tell me, oh, The Wise
How good I was fighting, how fair I lived?


With no hope and no gold
With no sword and no light
For the Truth or Fraud
How well did I fight?
Did I pay my price?
Did I try to the end?
Can I look into the eyes
Of the Gods of my land?

Mara, you know everything
So, say what is stronger - the Truth or the Lie?
The gold in our hands or the light in our hearts?
Should I obey or fight and die?

A long time ago a glorious warrior fought
Against the snake with one hundred heads.
When the knight cut off one of them
Another two grew instead

Why did you give your soul to your enemies?
Why did you sing about them?
Where′s your temple? I see only ruins
What's left for your children?


Mara, let me go back!
To the bright Sun, to our land!
I′ll start to build, I'll stop to hate!
From my first day and till the end!
