lyrics

In the morning I will climb a hill.
So the songs sound out.
So the rusałki can hear them.

You, rusałeczki sleep in cold.
And we, the young, reap rye.

***
Based on a song from Chernobyl region, from “Muzyka Odnaleziona” archives by Andrzej Bieńkowski
***
Rusałki are daemons, spirits of virgins who drowned and now can lure men and tickle them to death. In a ritual present in Polesie region, women wearing crowns from mountain ash circle the village singing the song. Are the women marking the border between the safe village word and expelling active female sexuality? The lyrics of the song address the demons in a sweet, friendly way though. Maybe the song is just a wink, a quick connection that escapes the male gaze?
