Молитва / Prayer - Булат Окуджава / Bulat Okudzhava

By the great Bulat Okudzhava. English translation below:

As long as the Earth still spins,
As long You shed the light,
My Lord could you give everyone
Whatever they don’t have?
Give a wise man some sense,
Give a coward a horse,
Give a happy man money,
And don't forget about me.

As long as the Earth still spins,
Almighty, it is your will,
Let those yearning for power
Reign if they must.
Give a break to the generous,
Before the end of day falls.
Grant repentance to Cain,
And don't forget about me.

I know, you are omnipotent.
I have faith in your wisdom.
As every murdered soldier
Believes he lives in heaven.
As every listener believes
That all you may whisper is true,
As we go on believing,
Without noticing all that we do.

O Lord, my Almighty,
Your eyes are emerald green.
As long as the Earth still spins,
For she too finds it strange,
As long as there is still enough
Time and fire in the world,
Bless everyone just a bit,
And, please, don’t forget about me.
