Ektenija VI: Upovanie

Ektenia VI: Hope

Ektenija VI: Upovanie

I've been lying in the grave for 40 daysYa lezhu v mogile uzhe 40 dney
And my soul, full of sorrow, hovers aboveA dusha, skorbya zhe, kruzhitsya nad ney
Walking around the house and all over the homelandKhodit vokrug doma I po vsey rodne
Crying and mourning for the native landPlachet I rydayet po rodnoy zemle
All my paths overgrown with grassVse moi tropinki zarosli travoy
To all my kin, I'll become a total strangerVsem rodnym ya stanu uzhe sovsem chuzhoy
I'll never sit with you at the tableNikogda ne syadu s vami ya za stol
I'll be in the corner shedding tears quietlyBudu v ugolochke slozy lit' taykom

Life was sad, sorrowful, and hardZhizn' byla pechal'na, skorbna I trudna
I committed a great, heavy sinGrekh velikiy, tyazhkiy sovershil ya
How much grief we have in this earthly lifeSkol'ko u nas gorya v zhizni sey zemnoy
People, don't forget about my soulLyudi, ne zabud'te o dushe moyey
I've already passed all my trials in heavenYa uzhe mytarstva v nebe vse proshol
And I don't know exactly where I'll beI ne znayu tochno, gde zhe budu ya
My guardian angel walks behind meAngel moy khranitel' khodit vso za mnoy
Begging God hard for my soulBoga prosit slozno o dushe moyey

And I'll try to pray for you allA ya postarayus' molit'sya za vas
We'll all be together when that time comesVse my budem vmeste, pridot tot chas
Family and children, don't forget meRodnyye I deti, ne zabud'te menya
Forget the bad, remember the goodPozabud'te zloye, pomnite dobro
Everything happened in life, but it's all in the pastV zhizni vso byvalo, no uzhe proshlo
Parting with you, dear kinS vami razluchayus', milaya rodnya
My soul has already flown from the earthS zemli uletela uzhe dusha moya

Don't grieve, brothers, sisters, and don't cry, my familyNe skorbite brat'ya, sostry I ne plach' moya sem'ya
I'll meet all of you, believe me, you're all mortal, just like meVsekh ya vstrechu, vy pover'te, vse vy smertny, kak I ya
We'll pray for his soulBudem my molit'sya za dushu yego
So the Lord may deliver him from his sinsChtob gospod' izbavil ot grekhov yego
Lord have mercy, Lord forgiveGospodi pomiluy, gospodi prosti
Have mercy in judgment, lead to eternal paradise, amenNa sude pomiluy, v vechnyy ray vvedi, amin'
