Ja svet zažgu, ja svet zažgu na etom beregu.
I shall light a light, light a light on this river bank.
Idi tichon’ko.
Step gently.
Sledi, na kamne est’ voda,
Look – there is water on that stone,
Idi so mnoj, s ognem, tuda, s ognem, tuda.
Come with me, with the fire, over there,
Na belom kamne est’ voda,
There is water on the white stone,
Na belom kamne est’ voda.
There is water on the white stone.
Idi tichon’ko.
Step gently.
Ruka s rukoj, ruka s rukoj,
Hand in hand, hand in hand,
Zdes’ kto-to est’ drugoj.
Someone else is here.
Idi tichon’ko.
Step gently.
Tot kto-to, možet, slyšit nas.
That someone may be listening to us.
Sledi, čtob svet naš ne pogas,
Be careful lest our light go out,
Čtoby voda ne prolilas’.
Lest the water spill.
Tot kto-to, možet, slyšit nas.
That someone may be listening to us.
Tot kto-to, možet, slyšit, možet, slyšit nas.
That someone may be listening to us.
Idi tichon’ko.
Step gently.
My svet nesëm, my svet nesëm,
We bear the light, we bear the light,
Raby nam noč’ so dnëm.
Night and day are our slaves.
Idi tichon’ko.
Step gently.
Sledi, ruka s rukoj tverda, na belom kamne est’ voda.
Look, firmly hand in hand, there is water on the white stone.
Sveti, idëm s ognem tuda.
Point the light, we bear the flame.
Sveti, sledi, sledi, sveti.
Point the light and follow – point and follow.
Idi tochon’ko.
Step gently.
Idi tochon’ko.
Step gently.
Idi tochon’ko ...
Step gently …
