Свеча — Candle

Sung by: Группа Мелодия
Composer: Olga Androshchuk


1 куплет:
Как догорит свеча, не оставив след от себя?
Kak dogorit svecha, ne ostaviv sled ot sebya?
How will burn down [a] candel, no left trace of itself?

Как падает звезда, так на ладонях жизнь у тебя.
Kak padayet zvezda, tak na ladonyakh zhizn' u tebya.
As falls [a] star, so in palms life you have.

Жизнь, как алмаза блеск,как приятный сон, но пуста. 
Zhizn', kak almaza blesk,kak priyatnyy son, no pusta.
Life, like [a] diamond sparkle, like [a] pleasant dream, but empty.

Жизнь, полная надежд и печальных слов, без Христа.
Zhizn', polnaya nadezhd i pechal'nykh slov, bez Khrista.
Life, full [of] hopes and sad words without Christ.



     Припев:
Ты посмотри на крест.
Ty posmotri na krest.
You! Look on [the] cross.

Это место встречи с Христом.
Eto mesto vstrechi s Khristom.
This place [of] meeting with Christ.

Знай, в Боге счастье есть,
Znay, v Boge schast'ye yest',
Know (imperative), in God happiness is,

В Боге есть покой. Бог-любовь.
V Boge yest' pokoy. Bog-lyubov'.
In God is peace.  God [is] love.




2 куплет:
Знай, Он за нас отдал драгоценный дар-жизнь Свою.
Znay, On za nas otdal dragotsennyy dar-zhizn' Svoyu.
Know (imperative), He for us gave precious gift-life [of] His own.

Смерть на Себя принял, чтобы Ты и я жил в раю.
Smert' na Sebya prinyal, chtoby Ty i ya zhil v rayu.
Death upon Himself [He] took, so that You and I could live in Paradise.

Знай, муки для тебя, слезы для тебя и любовь.
Znay, muki dlya tebya, slezy dlya tebya i lyubov'.
Know (imperative), anguish [is] for you, tears [are] for you and love.

Тот, Кто был без греха, без порока был, пролил кровь.
Tot, Kto byl bez grekha, bez poroka byl, prolil krov'.
He, Who was without sin, without fault was, shed blood.



     Припев:

Мост:
Он за нас пострадал, кровь Свою проливал
On za nas postradal, krov' Svoyu prolival
He for us suffered, blood His own spilled

Был распятым за грех всего мира. Ты на крест посмотри.
Byl raspyatym za grekh vsego mira. Ty na krest posmotri.
Was crucified for sins [of] whole world.  You, on [the] cross look!

Там в пролитой крови Твоя жизнь, твоя боль - Божья сила.
Tam v prolitoy krovi Tvoya zhizn', tvoya bol' - Bozh'ya sila.
There in [the] spilled blood [is] your life, your pain — God's power!


     Припев:



_________ English Version ________


1. How will a candle burn down, no trace left of itself?
As a star falls, so you have life in your palms.
Life, like a diamond sparkle, like a pleasant dream, is but empty.
Life is full of hopes and sad words without Christ.

   Chorus:
   Look upon the cross!
   This is the place of meeting with Christ.
   Know that in God is happiness,
   In God is peace—God is Love.


2. Know that He gave for us a precious gift — His own life:
He took Death upon Himself so that you and I could live in Paradise.
Know that the anguish is for you, the tears are for you, and the love.
He, Who was without sin, without fault, shed His blood.

   Chorus
  
   Bridge:
   He suffered for us, spilled His own blood,
   Was crucified for the whole world's sins.  Look upon the cross!
   There in the spilled blood is your life, your pain — God's power!
  
   Chorus
