Одна Дорога — One Road

 

Youtube Video

 

 

Words and Music by:  Т. Годунова  (T. Godunova)

 

1. Как много в мире есть дорог: широких,
Kak mnogo v mire yest' dorog: shirokikh,
How many in [the] world are [of] roads:  wide

Но лишь одна дорога в небеса.
No lish' odna doroga v nebesa.
But just one road to heaven.

Конец которой радость навсегда,
Konets kotoroy radost' navsegda,
[The] end [of] which [is] joy for-always (forever),

Где счастью, миру нет конца.
Gde schast'yu, miru net kontsa.
Where [is] happiness, peace not [of] end.
               (нет + genative = "there is not [noun]")
               

Припев:
Ты, Отче, Сам веди меня тропою,
Ty, Otche, Sam vedi menya tropoyu,
You, O Father, Yourself lead me path,
   (Ie, You, O Father lead me on Your own path)
   
Держи меня, чтобы мне не упасть.
Derzhi menya, chtoby mne ne upast'.
Hold me, so that me not fall

Ещё осталось ведь совсем немного,
Yeshchyo ostalos' ved' sovsem nemnogo,
Yet left after all at all little,

Ещё чуть-чуть осталось нам шагать.
Yeshchyo chut'-chut' ostalos' nam shagat'.
Yet [a] little left [to] us to walk.


2. Хоть узок путь но освещён Иисусом,
Khot' uzok put' no osveshchyon Iisusom,
Although narrow path but lit by Jesus,

Омыт пречистой кровью Святой.
Omyt prechistoy krov'yu Svyatoy.
Washed [with/by] immaculate blood Holy

И потому нам легче им идти,
I potomu nam legche im idti,
Therefore to us easy them to go,

Ведь Сам Господь ведёт нас впереди.
Ved' Sam Gospod' vedyot nas vperedi.
After all, Himself [the] Lord leads us ahead.

And where the wind is strong, He is a sturdy lighthouse.
The Lord is a delight to me, a lamp to my feet—

In the Name of my wonderful Jesus;
I firmly believe my liberty

When the moon falls to the earth
And the sun refuses to shine, He will lead me!
