Я не пророк
Language: Russian (Русский)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Я не пророк, я не боец,
Я не учитель мира;
Я, Божьей милостью, певец,
Моё оруже лира.
Я волю Господа творю;
Союза избегая с ложью,
Я сердцу песней говорю,
Бужу в нём искру Божью.

Je ne suis pas un prophète
Language: French (Français)  after the Russian (Русский)
Je ne suis pas un prophète, je ne suis pas un soldat,
Je ne suis pas le maître du monde.
Par la grâce de Dieu, je suis un chanteur,
Mon arme est la lyre,
Par la volonté de Dieu, je crée ;
J'évite l'union avec le mensonge,
Avec des chants, je parle au cœur
Dans lequel j'allume une étincelle divine.
