Мы отдохнём

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: FRE

Мы отдохнём! Мы услышим ангелов,
Мы увидим всё небо в алмазах,
Мы увидим, как всё зло земное,
Все наши страдания потонут в милосердии,
Которое наполнит собою весь мир,
И наша жизнь станет тихою,
нежною, сладкою, как ласка.
Я верую, верую... 
Мы отдохнём... Мы отдохнём.

Nous nous reposerons

Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)

Nous nous reposerons ! Nous entendrons les anges,
Nous verrons le ciel, tout en diamants,
Nous verrons tout le mal terrestre,
Toutes nos souffrances se noieront dans la miséricorde
Qui recouvrira le monde entier,
Et notre vie deviendra paisible,
Tendre, douce comme une caresse.
Je crois, je crois...
Nous nous reposerons... Nous nous reposerons.
