Строил город, и ему не хватило гвоздя
Stroil gorod, i yemu ne khvatilo gvozdya
Was building a city, and he was missing a nail
Никита Рязанский
Nikita Ryazanskii
Nikita Ryazansky
Протянул ладони и увидел в них капли дождя
Protyanul ladoni i uvidel v nikh kapli dozhdya
Stretched out his palms and saw raindrops in them
Никита Рязанский
Nikita Ryazanskii
Nikita Ryazansky
Оставил город и вышел в сад
Ostavil gorod i vishel v sad
Left the city and went out into the garden

Оставль старца и учаше кто млад
Ostavl’ startsa i uchashe kto mlad
Left the elder and taught the younger
Святая София
Svyataya Sofiya
Saint Sophia
Узнав о нем, пришла к нему в дом
Uznav o nem, prishla k nemu v dom
Learning of him, she came to his home
Святая София
Svyataya Sofiya
Saint Sophia
Искала его и нашла его под кустом
Iskala yego i nashla yego pod kustom
She looked for him and found him under a bush
Она крестила его
Ona krestila yego
She baptized him
Соленым хлебом и горьким вином
Solenim khlebom i gor’kim vinom
With salty bread and bitter wine
И они смеялись и молились вдвоем
I oni smeyalis’ i molilis’ vdvoem
And they laughed and prayed together
Смотри, Господи
Smotri, Gospodi
Look, Lord
Крепость, и от крепости страх
Krepost’, i ot kreposti strakh
A fortress, and from the fortress, fear
И мы, Господи, дети у Тебя в руках
I mi, Gospodi, deti u Tebya v rukakh
And we, Lord, are children in Your hands
Научи нас видеть Тебя
Nauchi nas videt’ Tebya
Teach us to see You
За каждой бедой
Za kazhdoi bedoi
Behind every misfortune
Прими, Господи, этот хлеб и вино
Primi, Gospodi, etot khleb i vino
Accept, Lord, this bread and wine
Смотри, Господи, вот мы уходим на дно
Smotri, Gospodi, vot mi ukhodim na dno
Look, Lord, here we are sinking to the bottom
Научи нас дышать под водой
Nauchi nas dishat’ pod vodoi
Teach us to breathe underwater
Девять тысяч церквей
Devyat’ tisyach tserkvei
Nine thousand churches
Ждут Его, потому что Он должен спасти
Zhdut Yego, potomu chto On dolzhen spasti
They wait for Him, because He must save
Девять тысяч церквей
Devyat’ tisyach tserkvei
Nine thousand churches
Ищут Его, и не могут Его найти
Ishchut Yego, i ne mogut Yego naiti
They look for Him, and cannot find Him
А ночью опять был дождь
A noch’yu opyat’ bil dozhd’
And at night it rained again
И пожар догорел, нам остался лишь дым
I pozhar dogorel, nam ostalsya lish’ dim
And the fire burned out, we're left with only smoke
Но город спасется
No gorod spasetsya
But the city will be saved
Пока трое из нас
Poka troe iz nas
As long as three of us
Продолжают говорить с Ним
Prodolzhayut govorit’ s Nim
Continue to speak with Him
Смотри, Господи
Smotri, Gospodi
Look, Lord
Крепость, и от крепости страх
Krepost’, i ot kreposti strakh
A fortress, and from the fortress, fear
И мы, Господи, дети у Тебя в руках
I mi, Gospodi, deti u Tebya v rukakh
And we, Lord, are children in Your hands
Научи нас видеть Тебя
Nauchi nas videt’ Tebya
Teach us to see You
За каждой бедой
Za kazhdoi bedoi
Behind every misfortune
Прими, Господи, этот хлеб и вино
Primi, Gospodi, etot khleb i vino
Accept, Lord, this bread and wine
Смотри, Господи, вот мы уходим на дно
Smotri, Gospodi, vot mi ukhodim na dno
Look, Lord, here we are sinking to the bottom
Научи нас дышать под водой
Nauchi nas dishat’ pod vodoi
Teach us to breathe underwater
