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
суровой
середине
зимы,
Frosty
wind
made
moan
Морозный
ветер
стонал,
Earth
stood
hard
as
iron
Земля
стояла
твердой,
как
железо,
Water
like
a
stone
Вода
- словно
камень.
Snow
had
fallen,
snow
on
snow
Снег
падал,
снег
на
снег,
Snow
on
snow
Снег
на
снег,
In
the
bleak
mid-winter
В
суровой
середине
зимы,
Long
ago
Давно.
Our
God,
Heaven
cannot
hold
Him
Наш
Бог,
небеса
не
могут
вместить
Его,
Nor
earth
sustain
Ни
земля
поддержать,
Heaven
and
earth
shall
flee
away
Небеса
и
земля
исчезнут,
When
He
comes
to
reign
Когда
Он
придет
царствовать.
In
the
bleak
mid-winter
В
суровой
середине
зимы,
A
stable-place
sufficed
Хлев
Ему
послужил,
The
Lord
God
Almighty
Господь
Бог
Всемогущий,
Jesus
Christ
Иисус
Христос.
Enough
for
Him,
whom
cherubim
Достаточно
для
Него,
кому
херувимы
Worship
night
and
day
Поклоняются
ночью
и
днем,
A
breastful
of
milk
Грудь
полна
молока,
And
a
mangerful
of
hay
И
ясли
полны
сена.
Enough
for
Him
whom
angels
Достаточно
для
Него,
перед
кем
ангелы
Fall
down
before
Ниц
падают,
The
ox
and
ass
and
camel
Вол
и
осел,
и
верблюд,
Which
adore
Которые
преклоняются.
Angels
and
archangels
Ангелы
и
архангелы
May
have
gathered
there
Возможно,
собрались
там,
Cherubim
and
seraphim
Херувимы
и
серафимы
Thronged
the
air
Наполнили
воздух.
But
only
His
mother
Но
только
Его
мать,
In
her
maiden
bliss
В
своем
девичьем
блаженстве,
Worshipped
the
Beloved
Поклонялась
Возлюбленному
With
a
kiss
Поцелуем.
What
can
I
give
Him
Что
могу
я
дать
Ему,
Poor
as
I
am?
Бедный,
как
я
есть?
If
I
were
a
shepard
Если
бы
я
был
пастухом,
I
would
bring
a
lamb
Я
бы
принес
ягненка.
If
I
were
a
wise
man
Если
бы
я
был
мудрецом,
I
would
do
my
part
Я
бы
исполнил
свой
долг,
Yet
what
I
can,
I
give
Him
Но
что
я
могу,
я
даю
Ему,
Give
my
heart
Отдаю
свое
сердце.
