Песня Юлии Берёзовой на слова Марины Цветаевой / Song written and sang by Julia Berezova; lyrics - Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941), great Russian poet. Her lyrics is too inspired to translate it appropriate with my humble abilities, so here is my inexpert attempt: For boy -- for Dove -- for Son, For young Cesarevitch Aleksey Pray, the church Russia. Pray, the church Russia. Wipe angel's eyes, Remember, how fell on flagstone Uglich's dove -- Dmitry. Uglich's dove -- Dmitry. You are so tender, mother, Russia, Whether don't you have enough Loving grace for him? Loving grace for him? Father's cross don't chastise upon his son, Save, peasant Russia, Alexey --Tsarckoe Selo's lamb Spare, save, Russia. The poem was written on April 4, 1917. On July 4(17) 1918 Cesarevitch Aleksey and his Family were murdered.
