Till the Earth is still revolving, <br />Till the Light is still bright, <br />Lord, give to each one what he needs most - <br />Brains to an intelligent some, <br />A horse to a cowardly some, <br />Give some money to those lucky <br />And please don`t forget about me... <br /> <br />Till the Earth is still revolving, <br />Lord, the Power is Yours! <br />May some dying to be powerful <br />Rule long enough to his heart`s content, <br />Give a respite to those generous, <br />At least till the end of the day, <br />Give the repentance to Cain <br />But, don`t forget about me, please... <br /> <br />I`m sure everything is within Your Power, <br />I believe in Your Wisdom, <br />As much, as a crushed soldier believes he is in Paradise, <br />Like each ear believes in Your peaceful sermons, <br />Like we believe ourselves not knowing what we do indeed. <br /> <br />Jesus! My God, my Divine! <br />Till the Earth is still revolving <br />And it seems strange for itself, <br />Till there`s enough the time and the fire, <br />Please, give a little to everyone <br />And don`t forget about me either... <br /> <br /> <br />Translated from Russian, Bulat Okudjava- Molitva<br /><br />Emma Adamyan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prayer-58/
