Текст песни Осужденник - Тем, кто решился нести крест

Who once decided to bear the cross,
He will crucify forever
But since there is a sacrifice of happiness,
He will be happy forever!

There is no reward for good deeds -
Love and sorrow are one and the same
But who grieved through this sorrow
To all the benefits it is more expensive!

What matters to yourself
And to others, and to the universe
To the one who followed, loving
Where did the secret voice call !?

But who, afraid to follow him,
It’s disturbing with thought.
Let him throw the cross in the middle of the way
Let him seek happiness, if he can.

(Minsky, / from the book of archpriest. Alexander Solovyov “Old Age ...”, 1899 /)
