Текст песни Ольга Арефьева и Ковчег - Плач Иосифа Прекрасного

Lamentations of Joseph the Beautiful
Russian folk spiritual verse

Whom shall we tell my sorrow
And who will I call to weep?
Tokmo to you, my Lord,
You know my sorrow.
To my creator, creator,
And all the best to the giver.
I will ask for mercy
From all strength and strength.
Who would give me a source of tears
From the swift river of Eden?
I would cry day and night,
I would weep for my sins.
Silence my throat
And there is no one who would comfort me.
Whom shall we tell my sorrow
And who will I call to weep?
