Дитя, как цветок ты прекрасна
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Дитя, как цветок ты прекрасна,
Светла, и чиста, и мила.
Смотрю на тебя, и любуюсь,
И снова душа ожила...
Охотно б тебе на головку
Я руки свои возложил;
Прося чтобы Бог тебя вечно
Прекрасной и чистой хранил.

My child, you are beautiful as a flower
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
My child, you are beautiful as a flower,
Fair, and pure, and sweet.
I look at you, and admire you,
And again my heart is stirred...
I would gladly lay my hands
on your little head;
Asking God to keep you
beautiful and pure forever.
