Мой Путь — My Path





Lyrics found on-line here: https://kg-music.club/songs/moj-put


КУПЛЕТ Verse 1:

Я хочу Тебе всё рассказать,
YA khochu Tebe vso rasskazat',
I want You everything to tell;

Знаю твёрдо поймёшь Ты меня.
Znayu tvordo poymosh' Ty menya.
[I] know solidly understand You me.

Так бывает тяжело мне прощать
Tak byvayet tyazhelo mne proshchat'
So [it] is hard [for] me to forgive

И учиться любить у Тебя.
I uchit'sya lyubit' u Tebya.
And to learn to love from You.


Невозможно мне всех понимать
Nevozmozhno mne vsekh ponimat'
Impossible [for] me everyone to understand

И сочувствовать людям, как Ты
I sochuvstvovat' lyudyam, kak Ty
And sympathize with people, like You [do]

И спокойно судьбе принимать
I spokoyno sud'be prinimat'
And calmly destiny accept

То ли камень, то ли цветы
To li kamen', to li tsvety
[of] either stone or [of] flower.



ПРИПЕВ (Chorus):
Пусть мой путь не украшен цветами
Pust' moy put' ne ukrashen tsvetami
Let my path not decorated [with] flowers

И фиалки на нём не растут.
I fialki na nom ne rastut.
And violets on it not sprout.

Он  вед благословен небесами,
On  ved blagosloven nebesami,
It after all was blessed [by the] heavens,

Мой тернистый, узенький путь.
Moy ternistyy, uzen'kiy put'.
My thorny, narrow path.

Не сверну ни на миг я в сторонку
Ne svernu ni na mig ya v storonku
Not turn not for [a] moment I aside

И пускай будет мне тяжело
I puskay budet mne tyazhelo
And let [it] be [for] me hard

Ты на помощь придёшь, словно мама к ребёнку
Ty na pomoshch' pridosh', slovno mama k rebonku
You on help will come, as though mother to [a] child

Успокоишь и станет тепло
Uspokoish' i stanet teplo
[You] will calm and [it] will become warm

Успокоишь и станет тепло
Uspokoish' i stanet teplo
[You] will calm and [it] will become warm




КУПЛЕТ Verse 2:

Я хочу поделиться с Тобой
YA khochu podelit'sya s Toboy
I want to share with You

Как же много тревожит меня,
Kak zhe mnogo trevozhit menya,
How many [things] worry me;

Мой Спаситель услышь, успокой,
Moy Spasitel' uslysh', uspokoy,
My Savior, hear, reassure;

Вся надежда моя на Тебя.
Vsya nadezhda moya na Tebya.
All hope [of] mine [is] in You.


Не напрасно мне дан этот путь
Ne naprasno mne dan etot put'
Not vainly [to] me given [is] this path

Я на нём достигаю небес
YA na nom dostigayu nebes
I on it reach heavens.

Ураган заревёт, ну и пусть
Uragan zarevot, nu i pust'
Hurricane will roar, well and let [it]
                     (Ie, so let it)
                   
Ты его усмиришь, мой Отец.
Ty yego usmirish', moy Otets.
You it will subdue, my Father.

ПРИПЕВ (Chorus):


----------------  Better English  ----------------


1. I want to tell You everything,
I firmly know that You understand me.
It is hard for me to forgive
and to learn to love as You do.

It is impossible for me to understand everyone
And sympathize with people as You do
And calmly accept destiny of
Either a rock or a flower.


   Chorus———

Let my path not be decorated with flowers
And no violets on it grow.
After all this path was blessed by Heaven,
My thorny, narrow path.
I will not turn aside for a moment.
It may be hard for me,
You will come with help, as a mother to her child;
You will calm it and all will become warm,
You will calm it and all will become warm.




2. I want to share with You
Just how many things worry me;
My Savior, O hear, reassure—
All my hope is in You.

This path was not vainly given to me;
Upon it, I reach the heavens!
The hurricane will roar—well, let it!
You, my Father, will subdue it!

Не Сдавайся — Don't Give Up

Youtube Video


They introduced this video and song with these words:

21 век.  Век стремительной гонки 🚀 и новшеств. Так много искушений на пути человека. Но большая часть из них ложится на долю  молодого поколения.  И ведь кому как не им нужно идти вперёд!  И не просто идти, а покорять вершины и не растерять веру в Бога.  Как много ловушек расставлено на их пути. Скольким искушениям они подвергаются изо дня в день. Сколько взлётов и разочарований на их пути!  Как часто враг души человека показывает им что их жизнь не имеет значения, не имеет смысла, что они всего лишь пылинка во вселенной, которая ничего не может изменить, а поэтому нет смысла бороться и они впадают в дипрессию, а иногда просто уходят из жизни не сказав «Прощай». Но хочется кричать им вслед «Не сдавайся!».  Никогда не сдавайся, иди вперёд, помни что Бог всегда рядом с тобой!   Он твоя защита, Он твоя сила и победа!!!  Дорогая молодёжь, что бы не случилось на твоём пути, не ожесточи своё сердце под тяжестью обстоятельств!  Помни, что Бог тебя сильно любит и хочет тебе помочь, только ты постарайся не оттолкнуть Его и пусть этот мир не заглушит Его нежный голос, который укажет тебе дорогу вперёд.  Помни, вера в Бога - спасает!  Никогда, никогда не сдавайся!!!
--------------- translation -------------------
21st century. The age of rapid racing and innovation. There are so many temptations in the way of man. But most of them fall to the younger generation. And after all, who but they need to go forward! And not just to go, but to conquer the peaks and not lose faith in God. How many traps are set in their path. How many temptations they are exposed to every day. How many UPS and downs on their way! How often the enemy of the human soul shows them that their life does not matter, does not make sense, that they are just a speck of dust in the universe that can not change anything, and therefore there is no point in fighting and they fall into depression, and sometimes just leave life without saying goodbye. But I want to shout "Don't give up!" after them. Never give up, go ahead, remember that God is always there for you! He is your protection, he is your strength and victory!!! Dear youth, whatever happens in your path, do not harden your heart under the weight of circumstances! Remember that God loves you very much and wants to help you, but try not to push Him away and let this world not drown out His gentle voice that will show you the way forward. Remember, faith in God saves! Never, never give up!!!


1. Ты хочешь убежать куда-то вдаль
Ty khochesh' ubezhat' kuda-to vdal'
You want to run away somewhere far

Без цели, мир слишком манит
Bez tseli, mir slishkom manit
Without [a] goal, [the] world too much beckons

И грех как гость непрошеный
I grekh kak gost' neproshenyy
And sin like [a] guest uninvited

В мыслях хочет строить свои планы.
V myslyakh khochet stroit' svoi plany.
In [the] mind wants to make its own plans.


Chorus
Нет, ты скажи ему нет! Стоп! Хватит!
Net, ty skazhi yemu net! Stop! Khvatit!
No, you tell him no!  Stop!  Enough!

Нет, мне не с тобой, у меня путь другой.
Net, mne ne s toboy, u menya put' drugoy.
No, I not with you, I have path another.


Не сдавайся, иди вперёд
Ne sdavaysya, idi vperod
Not give up, go ahead

Побеждай, ведь Бог тебя так ждёт
Pobezhday, ved' Bog tebya tak zhdot
Win, after all God [for] you so waits

И любит, очень любит,
I lyubit, ochen' lyubit,
And loves, very [much] loves

Ты верь, верь! Вера спасает!
Ty ver', ver'! Vera spasayet!
You believe, believe! Faith saves!


2. Знаешь, люди - корабли
Znayesh', lyudi - korabli
[You] know people [are] ships

С маленьким штурвалом в океане
S malen'kim shturvalom v okeane
With small helm in [the] ocean.

Но ты, ты к Свету плыви,
No ty, ty k Svetu plyvi,
But you, you to [the] Light sail*

Чтоб не утонуть под греха волнами.
Chtob ne utonut' pod grekha volnami.
So as not to sink* under sin's waves.


Chorus. 
Нет, ты скажи ему нет! Стоп! Хватит!
Net, ty skazhi yemu net! Stop! Khvatit!
No, you tell him no!  Stop!  Enough!

Нет, мне не с тобой, у меня путь другой.
Net, mne ne s toboy, u menya put' drugoy.


|: Не сдавайся, иди вперёд
Ne sdavaysya, idi vperod
Not give up, go ahead

Побеждай, ведь Бог тебя так ждёт
Pobezhday, ved' Bog tebya tak zhdot
Win, after all God [for] you so waits

И любит, очень любит,
I lyubit, ochen' lyubit,
And loves, very [much] loves

Ты верь, верь! Вера спасает!
Ty ver', ver'! Vera spasayet!
You believe, believe! Faith saves! :|


Bridge. 
Часто, закрывая глаза, ты слышишь пустоту внутри себя.
Chasto, zakryvaya glaza, ty slyshish' pustotu vnutri sebya.
Often, closing eyes, you hear [the] emptiness within yourself.

Часто посреди друзей так не хватает любви тебе.
Chasto posredi druzey tak ne khvatayet lyubvi tebe.
Often in the middle of friends so not be enough love [for] you

Ты тогда зови, тогда зови, Бога зови.
Ty togda zovi, togda zovi, Boga zovi.
You then call, then call, [to] God call.


Chorus. 
Не сдавайся, иди вперёд
Ne sdavaysya, idi vperod
Not give up, go ahead

Побеждай, ведь Бог тебя так ждёт
Pobezhday, ved' Bog tebya tak zhdot
Win, after all God [for] you so waits

И любит, очень любит,
I lyubit, ochen' lyubit,
And loves, very [much] loves

Ты верь, верь! Вера спасает!
Ty ver', ver'! Vera spasayet!
You believe, believe! Faith saves!


Не сдавайся, иди вперёд
Ne sdavaysya, idi vperod
Not give up, go ahead

Побеждай, ведь Бог тебя так ждёт
Pobezhday, ved' Bog tebya tak zhdot
Win, after all God [for] you so waits

И любит, очень любит,
I lyubit, ochen' lyubit,
And loves, very [much] loves

Ты верь, верь! Вера спасает!
Ty ver', ver'! Vera spasayet!
You believe, believe! Faith saves!


* Given the context of "ship" at sea, the verbs to swim or to drown take on the meaning of "sail" or "sink."

--------------- Better English -------------------------



1. You want to run away someplace far
Without a goal; the world beckons to much
And sin like an uninvited guest
In the mind wants to make its own plans.

Chorus--
No!  You tell him no!  Stop!  Enough!
No, I'm not with you, I have another path.

Do not give up, press on ahead,
Win, after all God waits there for you
And loves you, so very much
loves you—
Just believe, believe! Faith saves!


2. You know people are ships
With very small rudders in the ocean.
But you, you sail to the Light
So as not to sink under sin's waves.

Chorus--


Bridge--

Often, while closing your eyes, you hear the emptiness within yourself.
Often in the midst of friends, you find there is not enough love for you.
Then call out, call!  Call upon God.

Chorus--

Of God I Sing

Youtube Video

 

From Bill Carle's album of the same title.  This song, "Of God I Sing" was written by Stuart Hamblen.  Bill Carle was a trained bass singer, appearing as soloist with the NY Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall.  He also sang before King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.  On April 22, 1950, after becoming a Christian, Mr. Carle dedicated his talents to sing only for and of his Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.



Lyrics based on Psalm 121:

O'er the Hills, I lift My eyes—
Whither shall I look for aid?
My help cometh from the Lord,
Who both heaven and earth hath made.
For the Lord in watchful keeping
Guides thy steps along the way,
In the night protects thee sleeping,
Shelters thee throughout the day.

Chorus—
Of God I sing, Of God I sing,
The song that God gave to a king.
Of God I sing, Of God I sing,
Of our great God I sing.

Day by day and hour by hour
God will keep thee from all ill.
Overshadowed by His pow'r,
Thou art well protected still.
He will not let evil harm thee
Near at home nor far afield;
Why should any fear alarm thee
For the Lord God is thy shield?!

Chorus—

With desire I burn to praise, all the loving Grace of God.
Praise this depth of Love so kind, pow'r of holiness sublime—
This is all of God's own Grace, this is all of God's own Grace.

4. All down here one day will pass, even all the Grace of God;
from the earth He'll take away all His Mercy, Love, and Grace.
But in heav'n a place for saints, He with glory then will paint—
This is all of God's own Grace, this is all of God's own Grace.

Жизни людские разные
Zhizni lyudskiye raznyye
Lives [of] people [are] different

И всё в Божьих руках.
I vso v Bozh'ikh rukakh.
And everything [is] in God's hands.

Кто то новый встречает день радостно,
Kto to novyy vstrechayet den' radostno,
Someone new receives day joyfully,

У кого то слезы в глазах,
U kogo to slezy v glazakh,
By someone tears in eyes,
   (Ie, Someone has tears in their eyes,)

Кто то в каплях дождя видит радугу,
Kto to v kaplyakh dozhdya vidit radugu,
Someone in drops [of] rain sees [a] rainbow,

Наслаждаясь свежестью дня;
Naslazhdayas' svezhest'yu dnya;
Enjoying freshness [of the] day;

А кого-то все в жизни не радует,
A kogo-to vse v zhizni ne raduyet,
But someone everything in life not pleased,

И он ропщет во всем всех виня.
I on ropshchet vo vsem vsekh vinya.
And he grumbles in everything everyone blames.


А я радуюсь что знаю Господа;
A ya raduyus' chto znayu Gospoda;

Счастье бывает разное,
Schast'ye byvayet raznoye,
Happiness is diverse,

И не все умеют ценить
I ne vse umeyut tsenit'
And not everyone knows [how] to appreciate [it]

Эту жизнь проживают празднуя,
Etu zhizn' prozhivayut prazdnuya,
This life, [they] live idling,

А она пролетит словно миг.
A ona proletit slovno mig.
But it will fly as if [a] moment.

Насладиться успеть красотой Творца
Nasladitsya uspet' krasotoy Tvortsa
To enjoy to manage beauty [of the] Creator
    (Ie, to manage to enjoy the beauty of the Creator)

В сердце Господа верой принять
V serdtse Gospoda veroy prinyat'

And rejoicing in [a] new day,

Его прославлять
Yego proslavlyat'.
