WOLF
Sabhankra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mothers love can't endure, children cried
Only the one survived, a little boy
Shall drown in swamp, he is loosing blood
Beloved wolf please feed me, I'm so hungry
Give me fresh meat, I have to eat
No pleasure anymore, all will be done
Evil heard that the boy is alive,
Sent the warrior to end his life
Is it easy to take the life
From the body of chosen one
Wolf carried him to towards the shore
Sheltered him in their caves
Brings fourth young, just ten boys
Fertiled lowland sheltered all
When they grow up they went out
Found then girls and they got married
Seven settled down the mountain
And wolf shows the way... She carried...
The song "Wolf" by Sabhankra is a narrative of a young boy who survives an attack on his village by evil forces. The boy is left alone and injured with no hope of survival. He then pleads for help from a wolf to provide him with fresh meat to eat. As he grows up, he becomes one of a pack of young boys who were sheltered and protected by wolves. They eventually find partners and settle down, but the wolf still guides them.
The song is rich in symbolism and implies the strong connection between humans and nature. The wolf symbolizes the protective and nurturing aspect of nature while the boy represents human resilience and perseverance against adversities. The lyrics suggest that even in the face of utter destruction and chaos, nature can still provide hope and act as a catalyst for growth and progress. The mention of the "chosen one" also indicates the theme of destiny and the idea that some people are marked for greatness.
