The band called their genre "pop-folk", meaning "popular, merry, modern, understandable, appealing, positive". The musicians are inspired by songs and dances of Europe: Irish, Scottish, Breton, Balkan, Spanish, Jewish, Scandinavian, Russian melodies. The band is extraordinary free with folk music, and almost always composes its own Russian texts, putting them onto traditional melodies, or sometimes translates the songs into Russian. That's why The Dartz consider themselves a folk band as well as authors. This principal line still exists since their first album. These days the folk lore is understood in a deeper sense, it went deeper, and diffused in arrangements, and even in blues compositions something celtic appears sometimes, and rock'n'roll motiffs can be met in jigs, for instance - a guitar solo. In authentic celtic music guitar never plays solo and isn't even recognized as an instrument.

The members of the band are Dmitry "Dee" Kourtzman, Anton "Deodan" Gorelikov, Sergey "Ondion" Chibiryov, Igor "Pan" Starostin, Alexander Popov, Roman "Punnen" Slivinskiy, Igor Burmistrov and Andrey "Beholder" Khokhlov.

Родом из Ирландии
The Dartz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Эй, кто тут из Ирландии,
Святой земли Ирландии?" -
Пел голос нежный и шальной,-
"Мой милый друг, летим со мной
Плясать и петь в Ирландию,
Плясать и петь в Ирландию."

И лишь единственный из всех

В той разношерстой братии,
Один угрюмый человек
В чудном заморском платье
К ней повернулся от окна:
"Нелегкий путь, сестра моя,
Часы идут, а ночь темна,
А ночь темна, сестра моя".

"Я родом из Ирландии,
Святой земли Ирландии," -
Пел голос нежный и шальной,-
"Мой милый друг, летим со мной
Плясать и петь в Ирландию,
Плясать и петь в Ирландию."

"Я родом из Ирландии,
Святой земли Ирландии",-
Пел голос нежный и шальной,-
"Мой милый друг, летим со мной
Плясать и петь в Ирландию,
Плясать и петь."
"Там косоруки скрипачи! "-
Воскликнул он отчаянно,-

"И неучи все трубачи,
И трубы их распаяны.
Пускай колотят в барабан,
С размаху струны рвут.
Какой поверит им болван,
Что краше там, чем тут!"
"Я родом из Ирландии,
Святой земли Ирландии," -
Пел голос нежный и шальной,-
"Мой милый друг, летим со мной

Плясать и петь в Ирландию,
Плясать и петь."

Overall Meaning

The song Родом из Ирландии by The Dartz tells the story of a group of people trying to convince a reluctant man to join them on a trip to Ireland. The playful and silky voice of the singer encourages the man to dance and sing with them, excited to show him the beauty of their homeland. However, there is one person in the room who doesn't share the excitement, a gloomy man in foreign clothes who looks out of the window and warns the singer's sister about the difficulty of the journey, and how late it is already. The man seems to doubt the quality of Irish musicians and tries to convince everyone that the music and dance are no better there than elsewhere, even though the singer insists that they are.

The lyrics seem to be a celebration of the mythical and romanticized land of Ireland, with its well-known reputation for music, dance, and folklore. The reluctance of the one man in the room to join the others can be seen as a representation of the struggle to hold on to tradition and culture in a changing world. The singer's voice, described as both delicate and cunning, embodies the sweet temptation of youth to explore the unknown and to believe in the magic of the world.
