Lyrics and translation Gustav Holst feat. Choir of King's College, Cambridge & Stephen Cleobury - Holst: In the Bleak Midwinter (2008 Version)
In
the
bleak
mid-winter
В
суровую
середину
зимы.
Frosty
wind
made
moan
Морозный
ветер
заставил
стонать.
Earth
stood
hard
as
iron
Земля
была
тверда,
как
железо.
Water
like
a
stone
Вода
как
камень.
Snow
had
fallen,
snow
on
snow
Выпал
снег,
снег
на
снегу.
Snow
on
snow
Снег
на
снегу
In
the
bleak
mid-winter
В
суровую
середину
зимы.
Long
ago
Давным-давно
Our
God,
Heaven
cannot
hold
Him
Наш
Бог,
небеса
не
могут
удержать
его.
Nor
earth
sustain
И
земля
не
выдержит.
Heaven
and
earth
shall
flee
away
Небеса
и
земля
исчезнут.
When
He
comes
to
reign
Когда
он
придет
править
In
the
bleak
mid-winter
В
суровую
середину
зимы.
A
stable-place
sufficed
Конюшни
было
достаточно.
The
Lord
God
Almighty
Господь
Бог
Всемогущий
Jesus
Christ
Иисус
христос
Enough
for
Him,
whom
cherubim
Хватит
ему,
кому
херувим
Worship
night
and
day
Поклоняйтесь
день
и
ночь.
A
breastful
of
milk
Полная
грудь
молока.
And
a
mangerful
of
hay
И
охапку
сена.
Enough
for
Him
whom
angels
Хватит
с
него
ангелов
Fall
down
before
Упасть
раньше
...
The
ox
and
ass
and
camel
Бык,
осел
и
верблюд.
Which
adore
Которые
обожают
Angels
and
archangels
Ангелы
и
архангелы
May
have
gathered
there
Возможно,
они
собрались
там.
Cherubim
and
seraphim
Херувимы
и
Серафимы
Thronged
the
air
Воздух
был
переполнен.
But
only
His
mother
Но
только
его
мать.
In
her
maiden
bliss
В
ее
девичьем
блаженстве
Worshipped
the
Beloved
Поклонялся
возлюбленному.
With
a
kiss
С
поцелуем.
What
can
I
give
Him
Что
я
могу
ему
дать
Poor
as
I
am?
Такой
же
бедный,
как
я?
If
I
were
a
shepard
Если
бы
я
был
Шепардом
...
I
would
bring
a
lamb
Я
принес
бы
ягненка.
If
I
were
a
wise
man
Если
бы
я
был
мудрецом
...
I
would
do
my
part
Я
бы
сделал
свое
дело.
Yet
what
I
can,
I
give
Him
И
все
же
я
даю
ему
то,
что
могу.
Give
my
heart
Отдай
мое
сердце.
