English
The song conveys deep feelings of sorrow, despair, and hopelessness. The repeated phrase 'Down in Watch Keep' evokes a sense of confinement and vigilance against an ever-present darkness, while the mention of fighting 'vainly' suggests an inevitable fate that weighs heavily on the heart.
This song could be played in a variety of scenarios such as a reflective moment in a film, a scene depicting loss or struggle, or during a somber gathering where themes of resilience and survival are shared. The mournful tone also lends itself well to a performance in a folk music setting, perhaps in a storytelling context.

The lyrics utilize repetition effectively to create a sense of urgency and haunting atmosphere, combined with imagery that evokes a struggle against time and inevitable loss.
Sing, ravens, of Barovia’s birth, From mist and shadow, a twilight-wrapped earth. Sing of Lugdana, the Morninglord’s flame, A beacon of dawn, a warrior’s name. Oh, sing, ravens, sing! Let the tale take flight, Of courage, of shadow, of radiant light. From Yester’s dark hill to the heavens above, A song of battle, of loss, and love. Sing, ravens, of Chernovog’s rise, The Green-God, Demon-Lord, under blood-red skies. Lugdana stood weary, her shield still high, To clash with the darkness, her vow did not die. Through shadows she ventured, through sacred ground, The clash of their fury, a tempest's sound. Her longsword flashing, her shield held fast, A hero’s resolve in each moment that passed. Sing, ravens, of Lugdana’s last cry, The Holy Symbol blazing in the sky. A light against darkness, her fate was sealed, Her wound too deep, yet her spirit revealed. Oh, sing, ravens, sing! Let the tale take flight, Of courage, of shadow, of radiant light. From Yester’s dark hill to the heavens above, A song of battle, of loss, and love. Sing, ravens, of her final grace, Of the angel descending with a black-feathered face. The Morninglord’s envoy, reclaiming the light, The Symbol now carried in eternal flight. Sing, ravens, the watchers of tales untold, Of heroes and shadows, of courage bold. Sing, ravens, of Lugdana’s might, And the battles to come in Barovia’s night.
Pallavi: Dīpālu veligēru, kārtika māsaṁ, prārthanalu pāḍēru, manasuku śāntaṁ! Śivuḍu, viṣṇuvulu, āśīrvadin̄cu, dharma mārgāna naḍipin̄cu! Caraṇaṁ: Tulasi vanamulō dīpa jyōti, gaṅga tīrālapai śiva smr̥ti. Sadguṇālu manalō nimputāṁ, kārtika māsanlō pūjalu cēyaḍaṁ!
Sing, ravens, of Barovia, birthed from the mists and bathed in twilight. Sing of Lugdana, the Morninglord’s stalwart, dawn-touched foe to the deep-lurking dark. The Holy Symbol of Ravenkind, her radiant testament, the warrior’s beacon of faithful resolve. Sing, ravens, of Chernovog’s rise, named Green-God and Demon-Lord upon Yester Hill. Lugdana, gray-haired, weary of battle, her longsword and shield yet polished and ready. Guided through shadows, toward sacred ground, she clashed with the demon, their tempest-like dance. Sing, ravens, of Lugdana’s last fury, of Ravenkind’s token now blazing with light. The battle’s tide turning, a hero’s brave cry, a final onslaught with divinity’s grace. The Demon-Lord banished, the warrior now fell, the wound at her side gouged too deep to bear. Sing, ravens, of light’s final moments, a shadow descending from radiance on high. Sing of the angel, black-feathered and beaked, the Morninglord’s angel reclaiming its gift. The Symbol retaken, in ravens’ claws held. Sing, ravens; you are the keepers, the watchers, the tellers of stories untold. Sing, ravens, of Lugdana’s memory, the shadows that lurk, and heroes to come.
