Текст песни Мария Гулегина - Христос воскрес

CHRIST IS RISEN!

Music: Sergei Rachmaninoff
Lyrics: Dmitry Merezhkovsky

"Christ is risen" - sung in the temple;
But sad to me ... soul is silent:
The world is full of blood and tears,
And the hymn before the altar
So it sounds insulting.
If only he was between us and saw
What reached our glorious century,
As brother brother hated,
As a disgraced man,
And if here, in glittering temple
"Christ is risen" He heard
What used bitter tears
He wept before the crowd!
Suppose that on the ground there will be brothers,
Neither the rulers nor slaves,
Silent groans and curses,
And the sound of swords, and the sound of the chains -
About the only time, as a hymn to freedom,
Let zagremit: "Christ is risen", -
And we will answer all the nations:
"Christ is truly risen!"
