Lyrics and translation Leo Sidran - There Was a Fire

There Was a Fire

There was a place
Deep in the wood
There was a prayer that was prayed
There was a fire
That burned for a while
And there was a vow that was made
As the years passed
The fire was extinguished
The prayer was forgotten
But hope still remained
That maybe the memory
Would be sufficient
That there was a fire
And the people were saved
There was a time
Out of the shadows
Warmed by the heat of the flame
There was story
Written and carried
And there was a name that was named
As the years passed

The fire was extinguished
The prayer was forgotten
But hope still remained
That maybe the memory
Would be sufficient
That there was a fire
And the people were saved
As the years passed
The fire was extinguished
The prayer was forgotten
But hope still remained
That maybe the memory
Would be sufficient
That there was a fire
And the people were saved
Were saved
There was a fire
There was a fire
There was a fire
There was a fire and the people were saved

Был огонь

Было место,
Глубоко в лесу,
Была молитва,
Был огонь,
Который горел какое-то время,
И была клятва.
Шли годы,
Огонь погас,
Молитва была забыта,
Но надежда оставалась,
Что, возможно, одной памяти
Будет достаточно,
Что был огонь,
И люди были спасены.
Было время,
Вне теней,
Согретое жаром пламени,
Была история,
Записанная и сохранённая,
И было имя.
Шли годы,

Огонь погас,
Молитва была забыта,
Но надежда оставалась,
Что, возможно, одной памяти
Будет достаточно,
Что был огонь,
И люди были спасены.
Шли годы,
Огонь погас,
Молитва была забыта,
Но надежда оставалась,
Что, возможно, одной памяти
Будет достаточно,
Что был огонь,
И люди были спасены.
Спасены.
Был огонь.
Был огонь.
Был огонь.
Был огонь, и люди были спасены.
