Invocație [English translation]

To you, those from chronics, seals and herbs,

beasts who don't eat herbs,

who don't mind beasts' meat, with no shadows from clouds

unscorched by the sun: Pajură, Bour,

with scepter and tiara, -

I beg you to show yourself!

To you, herald beasts,

like Pardos, like Irog-the unicorn, please, show yourself!

Beasts of good and bad kind,

which the hunter, if he's to catch them

won't get only husks and steam,

with some sfarog1: Beasts from the fables,

from moral and necessary books,

I beg them to show themselves!

To you, honest ones, to you, perjurer,

snake of the saint tree around

beasts of human halflike

like mermaids, the Centaur

with golden mouth, like the Chrysostom2

I beg them to show themselves!

Gentle beasts, with a thousand teeth,

with fishtails, with claws at their fingers

with goat's nails, with head, no head

with the fur like beetrot, with eyes like glass,

with eyes of werewolf, beasts with moral

with suave scents, philosophic beasts... Ave!

....Of the false beasts I sing life-no life

which doesn't go like the ice that's melted

doesn't vanish like the fog in the sky

nor breaks like the thread that's thin

or wilts like the old face,

cause if it flies other way than the duck

they come on the world not from eggs like the duck

nor they graze the pasure the whole morning,

but they keep their gift forever and the greeness,

secret and sweetness,

cause neither life is their life!

I sing to you and I enchant you

I invoke you and I evoke you

for luck, for bad luck

Basilisk and Unicorn,

Aspid and Evil-Roc

I'm atalking, I'm starting you

Unicorn and Basilisk

brother Dulf with sulfur eyes

together with Adelphe, your sister,

I bring you sacrifice

And still I'm the one keeping the rhythm

To the Calandrinon bird,

The bird of yes or no,

like you, like yours,

Scarabee, my ladder...

I'm singing to you,

I'm crossing your doorstep,

I'm calling you at the fixed hour

and still I forget you for the sake

of emperor Finics!

May it reborn only the one that gift

Has to reborn, cleansed by ashes,

from it's own ashes and own remains

today, as tomorrow, forever and now.
