Ivan Kozlovski "Molitva" (Prayer)

Music by Glinka on the text of Lermontov.
Козловский, Молитва (М.Глинка - М.Лермонотов

V minutu zhizni trudnuju
tesnitsjal' v serdce grust',
odnu molitvu chudnuju
tverzhu ja najizust'.

Jest' sila blagodatnaja
v [sozvuch'ji]1 slov zhivykh,
i dyshit neponjatnaja,
svjataja prelest' v nikh.

S dushi kak bremja skatitsja,
somnen'je daleko -
i veritsja, i plachetsja,
i tak legko, legko...

I found only German translation:

In Stunden der Entmutigung,
wenns gar zu trübe geht,
gibt Trost mir und Ermutigung
ein wundersüß Gebet.

Sein heilig Wort so weihevoll,
so voll von Leben tönt;
es fühlt mein Herz sich reuevoll,
beseligt und versöhnt.

Aus meiner Brust der Zweifel scheu,
wie eine Last entweicht.
Ich wein aufs Neu, ich glaub aufs Neu,
mir wird so leicht, so leicht.

[James88keys]

When faints the heart for sorrow, In life's hard, darkened hour,

My spirit breathes a wondrous prayer Full of love's inward power.

There is a might inspiring Each consecrated word,

That speaks the inconceivable And holy will of God.

The heavy load slips from my heart -- Oppressing doubt takes flight,

The soul believes, the tears break forth -- And all is light, so light!

[Herur22]

I put the Russian text and the German (the only I could find) in the information page on the right.

Když životem zlé chvíle jdou a kámen v srdce slét, modlitbu jednu zázračnou se modlím nazpaměť. Je v souzvuku slov oživlých zdroj blahodárných sil, posvátná krása dýše z nich tajemně do mých chvil. Břemeno z duše je totam, tentam je pochyb mrak --- zas víru mám, dar slzí mám, a lehko, lehko tak... (přeložil Josef Hora)

Thanks. You migh be interested to see my video on Kozlovsky's Ukrainian dimension which includes extracts from Ukrainian songs he recorded. In it I also note that Kozlovsky, who was trained in St. Michael's Gold-Domed Monastery in Kyiv, remained a Christian in the Soviet era and publicly affirmed this in some of the material he performed and recorded.

An ARTIST TO THE CORE, beautiful TONE and phrasing. Those who CLAIM to be tenors TODAY should LISTEN and QUESTION their teachers as to the reason for their inability to teach them the ART OF SINGING

Wonderful! I'm in tears.  Thank you.
