Жанна Бичевская_Молитва Франсуа Вийона (Булат Окуджава)

The Prayer of François Villon Версии: #1#2#3#4#5 While the earth is still turning, while the world is still brightly lit, O Lord, give everyone whatever they lack: give to the smart a head, give to the coward a horse, give to the fortunate money ... and do not forget about me. While the earth is still turning - O Lord, Thine is the power! - let them who struggle for power rule to their heart’s content, give a break to the generous, at least for a day. Give Cain repentance ...*** And do not forget about me. I know: Thou art almighty, in your wisdom I believe , As the killed soldier believes that he lives on in paradise, As each ear believes your quiet words, As we ourselves believe, not knowing what we are doing! Lord, my God, my green-eyed one! While the earth is still turning, and it is strange even to herself While she still has enough time and fire Give Thou everyone a little bit... And do not forget about me.
