Перевод песни Mother of God, here I stand | Группа john tavener | Альбом Fragments of a prayer: from the motion picture Children of Men

Mother of God, here I stand Now praying, Before this icon of your Radiant brightness, Not praying to be saved From a battlefield, Not giving thanks, Nor seeking forgiveness For the sins of my soul, Nor for all the souls Numb, joyless and desolate on earth, But for her alone, Whom I wholly give you.

Матерь Божья, я пред Тобой С мольбой, Пред образом Твоим Лучистым и светлым, Не молюсь за спасение На поле брани, Не воздаю благодарности, Не ищу прощения За грехи ни моей души, Ни чужих душ — Глухих, безотрадных, сирых на этой земле. Я молюсь за неё одну, За ту, что отдаю в Твои руки.

Fragments of a prayer: from the motion picture Children of Men

Mother of God, here I stand English / Английский язык

Mother of God, here I stand Now praying, Before this icon of your Radiant brightness, Not praying to be saved From a battlefield, Not giving thanks, Nor seeking forgiveness For the sins of my soul, Nor for all the souls Numb, joyless and desolate on earth, But for her alone, Whom I wholly give you.
