Текст песни Н.Пшеничный - Я искал так много лет ту Жемчужину

I've been looking for that pearl for so many years, friends!
I've gone almost all the way
All seas and all regions
- How precious are those pearls!
His light is my salvation.
For its living beauties
I was drowning in the sea wave.
Long, long I have been looking
Meeting nothing;
Once on the way I saw a Stranger alone. With the light of holy joy
The stranger's eyes shone;
He held pearls in his hands,
Pearls are rare, dear.
Light flashed in my eyes.
I wanted to run home
To sell your houses,
To have it in your hands.
But He meekly said to me:
Little of the world itself
So that I sell my pearls;
I give it for free.
And I held out my hand And I received that pearl;
He looked lovingly
And he blessed me.
My pearls are not the gift of the seas,
- The gift of God's love he
And brought to earth
I delight in sorrowful days.
