Lyrics and translation Oliver Anthony Music - From Ecclesiastes Chapter 4

From Ecclesiastes Chapter 4

Again, I looked and saw all the oppression
That was taking place under the sun
I saw the tears of the oppressed
And they had no comforter
Power was on the side of their oppressors

And I declare that the dead who had already died
Are happier than the living who are still alive
The better than both is the one who has never been born
Who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun

Из книги Екклесиаста, глава 4

И обратил я взор мой и увидел всякие угнетения,
Какие делаются под солнцем:
Вот слёзы угнетённых,
А утешителя у них нет;
И в руке угнетателей их - сила,

Но и сказал я в сердце своём: «блаженны мёртвые,
Которые давно умерли, более живых,
Которые живут доселе;
А блаженнее их обоих тот, кто ещё не существовал,
