Pobedna Pesma - Serbian Orthodox Chant | Song of Victory

Описание: Me and a Friend of the channel set an ancient Serbian Orthodox chant to music with her singing and me tuning everything together with different software and AI.
This is apocalyptic poetry about the end of everything, when the divine breaks through and reality splits open.
The original text describes this moment when heaven and earth collide: armies descending in blinding light, mountains bowing, the entire world burning and smoking, angels with trumpets, the universe thundering from its depths. Everything we chase gold, silver, status becomes completely meaningless in an instant.
What got me was the imagery. "The earth is like a rotting fruit." "The whole world smokes, breath comes with pain." "Joy and terror who can describe them?" It's this overwhelming vision of confronting something so vast and absolute that human language barely holds it together.
I wanted the music to carry that weight the dread, the awe, the sense that when eternity crashes into the material world, everything we thought was solid just dissolves.
This is what happens when you take thousand-year-old prophetic poetry and try to give it the sonic intensity it demands. It's not gentle. It's not safe. It's about standing at the edge of the incomprehensible.
If you've ever felt pulled toward something transcendent, something so much bigger than yourself it's almost crushing this might resonate.

ZA SRPSKU PUBLIKU:
Ovo je stara ortodoksna pesma o Sudnjem Danu vizija kraja sveta kada se nebesa otvaraju i silaze vojske anđela u vatri i grmljavini.
Tekstovi su neverovatno moćni kako se planine klanjaju, kako ceo svet gori i dimi, kako zlato i srebro više ništa ne znače pred večnošću. "Zemlja plodu slična je gnjilom" taj osećaj kada se božansko sudari sa materijalnim i sve što poznajemo se raspadne.
Pokušao sam da muzikom uhvatim tu težinu strah, strahopoštovanje, osećaj da stojiš pred nečim beskrajno većim od sebe.

Lyrics(Serbian/English):
Evo Gospoda s vojskama ide
Behold, the Lord comes with His armies

dušmani naši nek se postide
let our foes be put to shame

Nek se postide nek se pokaju
let them be ashamed, let them repent

gle vojske s Neba kako blistaju
behold the armies from Heaven, how they shine

Kako blistaju kako se ore
how they shine, how they thunder

sležu se pred njima visoke gore
the lofty mountains bow before them

Visoke gore i gordi cari
the high mountains and the proud kings

gle ide Gospod da se zacari
behold, the Lord comes to reign

Serafimi napred pa heruvimi
the Seraphim go before Him, then the Cherubim

sva zemlja gori sav svet se dimi
all the earth burns, the whole world smokes

Sav svet se dimi teško se diše
the whole world smokes, breath comes with pain

radost i užas ko da opiše
joy and terror who can describe them

Ko da opiše čudo čudesa
who can describe this wonder of wonders

kad zemlju grešnu stegnu nebesa
when the heavens close in on the sinful earth

Stegnu nebesa svojom blizinom
the heavens press near with their nearness

tad zemlja plodu slična je gnjilom
then the earth is like a rotting fruit

Vojske za vojskom iz neba niču
army after army springs forth from Heaven

angeli trube pravedni kliču
angels sound the trumpets, the righteous cry out

Pravedni kliču Evo Gospoda
the righteous cry: Behold the Lord

neka iščezne zemlja i voda
let earth and water pass away

Zemlja i voda našto nam više
earth and water what need have we now

gle sad se zbiva što Pismo piše
behold, now comes to pass what Scripture foretold

Što Pismo piše sve se događa
all that Scripture declares now unfolds

novo se Nebo i Zemlja rađa
a new Heaven and a new Earth are born

Evo Gospoda ustajte ljudi
behold the Lord arise, O people

evo Ga ide svetu da sudi
behold, He comes to judge the world

Svetu da sudi stado da luči
to judge the world, to separate the flock

od dubina svemir tutnji i huči
from the depths the universe thunders and roars

Tutnji i huči zemlja i nebo
earth and heaven thunder and roar

šta će nam sada zlato i srebro
what use are gold and silver now

Zlato i srebro neka počine
let gold and silver lie at rest

a Ti nam blistaj Bože Svemogući
and shine upon us, Almighty God
