Текст песни Adams: Nixon in China, Act I, Scene 1: "Soldiers of Heaven Hold the Sky" - Orchestra of St. Luke's , John Adams

Soldiers of heaven hold the sky,
The morning breaks and shadows fly.
Follow the orders of the poor,
Your master is the laborer
Who rules the world with truth and grace.
Deal with him justly, face to face,
Pay a fair price for all you buy,
Pay to replace what you destroy.
Divide the landlord's property,
Take nothing from the tenantry,
Do not mistreat the captive foe.
Respect women, it is their due
Replace doors when you leave a house.
Roll up straw matting after use.
