Nikita Ryazanskiy
Built a city, and he didn't have enough nails.
Nikita Ryazanskiy
Stretched out his hands and saw a drop of rain in them;
Nikita Ryazanskiy
Left the city and went into the garden.
Nikita Ryazanskiy
Leaving his father and learning who're younger.
Holy Sofia,
Founding out of him, came to his house;
Holy Sofia
Looked for him and found him under a bush;
She baptized him
Salty bread and bitter wine,
And they prayed and laughed together:
Look, Lord:
Fortress, and from the fortress - fear,
And we, the children, in Your hands,
Teach us to see You
Behind every trouble...
Accept, Lord, this bread and wine,
Look, Lord, - here we go to the bottom;
Teach us to breathe underwater...
Nine thousand churches
Wait for Him, because He must save;
Nine thousand churches
Seek Him, and they can't find Him;
It was raining at night again,
And the fire burned out, only smoke remained to us;
But the city will be saved,
While the three of us
Continue to speak with Him:
Look, Lord:
Fortress, and from the fortress - fear,
And we, the children, in Your hands,
Teach us to see You
Behind every trouble...
Accept, Lord, this bread and wine,
Look, Lord, - here we go to the bottom;
Teach us to breathe underwater...
