Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava - Prayer (Russian and English dual text).
Bulat Okudzhava
Francois Villon`s prayer
Translated by Alec Vagapov
While the world is still turning, and while the daylight is broad,
Oh Lord, pray, please give everyone what he or she hasn’t got.
Give the timid a horse to ride, give the wise a bright head,
Give the fortunate money and about me don’t forget.
While the world is still turning, Lord, You are omnipotent,
Let those striving for power wield it to their heart’s content.
Give a break to the generous, at least for a day or two,
Pray, give Cain repentance, and remember me, too.
I know You are almighty, and I believe You are wise
Like a soldier killed in a battle believes he’s in paradise.
Like every eared creature believes, oh, my Lord, in You,
Like we believe, doing something, not knowing what we do.
Oh Lord, oh my sweet Lord, my blue eyed Lord, You’re good!
While the world is still turning, wondering, why it should,
While it has got sufficient fire and time, as You see,
Gi
