The band is also the co-composer of “Równonoc” album, which was the mix of Slavic sounds with hip-hop and which became a Diamond Record. Percival released five official albums, including “Slava” albums triptych, but their music can be found on various records, like audiobooks: “Vikingaasaga” and “Borek and the god of Slavs”. The band gave shows all accross the Europe, but not only – they also visited such distant places like Canada. Percival’s music can be heard in many documentaries related to history and old times of Slavs and Vikings. The band is known worldwide as promotours and lovers of Slavic culture and history.

PERCIVAL WILD HUNT LIVE:
It’s the amazing musical show performed by Percival group – co-authors of the “Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” game soundtrack, multiple award winners (i.a. MocArt 2015 together with Marcin Przybyłowicz and Mikołaj Stroiński), who performed all over the Europe and world. During the Wild Hunt Live show the group presents music that is perfectly known to any Witcher game fan – songs that became a part of the soundtrack, mostly in their original, initial versions.
The video projection was created specifically for the show from game fragments and video materials that hasn’t been published before. Beautiful lights, stunning dance plus aerial acrobatics, wonderful costumes and scenography altogether create magical atmosphere. Wild Hunt Live got lots of positive reviews – both from journalists and from the audience. It’s a treat not only for fans of computer games, but for all those who love beautiful music, amazing voices, interesting instruments, folk and fantasy world.

Percival Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gidi jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
Ta ele se faleše, ta ele se faleše,
Gidi jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
Ti karanfil ne nosiš, na karanfil merisaš,
Gidi Jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
- V' gradinata sam bilo, karanfil sam gazilo,
Gidi jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
Karanfil sam gazilo, ta za tova merisam,
Gidi Jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
- Karanfilče devojče, karanfilče devojče,
Gidi jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
Ta ele se faleše, ta ele se faleše,
Gidi jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
- Ti rakija ne piješ, na rakija merisaš,
Gidi jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
- Zemnici sam kladilo, rakija sam puštalo,
Gidi Jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
Rakija sam puštalo, ta za tova merisam,
Gidi Jagne galeno, gidi mome maleno.
The song "Karanfilče" by Percival is a traditional Macedonian folk song about a young woman who carries a carnation. The singer is addressing the young woman, encouraging her to move gracefully like a lamb, and pointing out that she is not carrying the carnation she is admiring. The chorus repeats twice in each verse, urging the young woman to move gracefully and to not simply admire the carnation but instead wear it.
In the second half of the song, the focus shifts to the topic of drinking alcohol. The singer notes that the young woman does not drink the alcohol she is admiring and is instead simply measuring it. Then, he tells a story about betting on a game and drinking rakija, a traditional Macedonian fruit brandy. The chorus repeats once again, urging the young woman to move gracefully like a lamb and to not simply measure the alcohol she is admiring.
Overall, the song is a lighthearted and playful tune about traditional Macedonian customs and urging the young woman to live life to the fullest.

@benjaminstimec3625
they should put this in the witcher 3 wild hunt as tavern music
@DeePScharge
Two of the songs from this album are battle themes in the Wild hunt.
@CritKhan
Not really if you know what the lyrics mean
@wojciechwicinski5399
Music without singing would be good as battle music imo
@T0mN7
What do they mean?
@Wustenfuchs109
T0mN7 It is about a young girl who gets asked why does she smell of "karanfilče", the flower, carnation when she does not wear it and why does she smell of rakija (very strong alcoholic beverage from the Balkans, made from fruits) even though she does not drink it. She answers that she smells of carnations and rakija because she was trampling on the flowers while she was going to the town and rakija because she was serving it, that is why she smells of those.
And that is why the folks here say it would be better fit music for a tavern. It is essentially a tavern music.
Percival did a great job with South Slavic songs (except maybe "Žali Zare") but the Witcher makers did not pay much attention to song's meaning. For instance, the main battle theme in Witcher 3 is actually a wedding song from eastern Serbia/western Bulgaria region (Torlak tribe).
Funny how our songs about drinking, young girls, weddings and happiness are requested as battle music. :D
@stefanfrantsov3755
this is a Bulgarian folk song. The text is entirely in Bulgarian.
@isaacmcconley4965
Stefan Frantsov I don’t doubt it is a folk song, but do you perhaps know what they’re saying or what the song is about?
@godsgift565
@perakole Are you macedonian
@godsgift565
@perakole Well we agree on that and also the song is serb ( the language is serbian, i do not know anything about its origin), if you know something share. (I am Bulgarian btw)
