EVANGELIE / THE GOSPEL - RUSSIAN SONG performed by shemZee

avatar

This is a song written by Yegor Letov here performed by me.

Yegor Letov was a Russian poet, musician, singer-songwriter, audio engineer and conceptual art painter, best known as the founder and leader of the post-punk/psychedelic rock band Grazhdanskaya Oborona (Russian: Гражданская Оборона, lit. 'Civil Defense').

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
The Gospel

Sharp-sighted windows
Who will warm the sharp-sighted windows?

Have pity by silent words
On your stannic Christ

Greedy fingers
Who will feed the greedy fingers?

Embrace with hungry hands
Your unsaved Christ

Fugitive shadows
Who will catch the fugitive shadows?

Swaddle with reliable chains
Your hopeless Christ

Slippery veins
Slippery disturbing veins

Kiss with cold lips
Your illusory Christ

Round sky
Who will punish the round sky?

Strangle with obedient hands
Your disobedient Christ

Original Russian lyrics:
Евангелие
Зоркие окна -
Кто согреет зоркие окна?

Пожалей беззвучными словами
Своего оловянного Христа

Жадные пальцы
Кто накормит жадные пальцы?

Обними голодными руками
Своего неспасенного Христа

Беглые тени
Кто поймает беглые тени?

Спеленай надежными цепями
Своего безнадежного Христа

Скользкие вены
Скользкие тревожные вены

Поцелуй холодными губами
Своего зазеркального Христа

Круглое небо
Кто накажет круглое небо?

Задуши послушными руками
Своего непослушного Христа
