"The Prayer Of Francois Villon (Molitva)" lyrics - REGINA SPEKTOR

[English translation]

While yet the Earth is revolving,
While yet the daylight is broad,
Lord, pray, give everyone
Whatever they have in want:
Give the wise one more brilliance,
The coward a horse to flee,
Give the happy some money...
And don't forget about me.

While yet the Earth is revolving -
Lord, yours is the power!
Give those fighting for power
To rule however much they desire;
Give relief to the generous
At least until the eve;
Bestow upon Cain repentance...
And don't forget about me.

I believe: you can do anything;
In your wisdom I trust,
Just as a killed soldier believes
That he is in the paradise;
Just as every ear believes
To the quiet words of yours,
Just as we ourselves also believe
When we know not what we do!

O Lord, oh the Almighty,
O God mine green of eyes!
While yet the Earth is revolving,
Taken itself by the surprise,
While yet it has in sufficiency
Both the time and the heat,
Give everybody a little...
And don't forget about me.
