Текст песни Орфос - Глас 1. Кая житейская сладость

Voice 1: What earthly sweetness / unhappiness sorrows? / What glory is immutable on the earth? / All the canopy is weak, all the sleepy one is most charming: / in a single moment, and all this death accepts. / But in the light, Christ, of Your face / and in the pleasure of Thy beauty, / his [or even younger] He chose Thou art, repose, like a Man-lover.
