Путь с крестом - Раймон Порше
текст песни

During the first campaign, during the siege of Antioch by the crusaders in 1098, the Turks brought to the walls of the captive Frankish knight, Raymon Porsche, and ordered him to ask his own to be bought him. Otherwise, he was threatened with death. But the knight, on the contrary, began to tell the crusaders that he was considered a dead man and did nothing for him, but continued to besiege the city, because for a long time Antioch would not last. The emir of Antioch, having learned what the knight says, turned to him through Tolmach, demanding that he take Islam and offering for this a lot of gifts and his friendship; Otherwise, the emir promised to chop off his head to Raymon. Instead of an answer, the knight bowed his knees and bowed towards Jerusalem, to the east, and his head rolled off the walls.


... if I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand be oblivious ...

When we see it close - it hurts us for all people.
You thought about justice, but forgot about your life.
You thought about mercy, but forgot about your path.
But by the way, the hunt has already begun,
Fly, my pigeon, fly! ..

May the stranger not catch up with you,
Yes, you will be fast and dare
After all, there, in the message on your paw -
What I did not have time to say.
Fly past the walls of other people's cities,
Whose stone is hot and it,
Fly over the heat of red sands -
To the city of Yerusal.
In the city whose stones are silent and waiting,
When to sing again,
When my brothers will go through them,
From tears unable to watch,
For what I'm closer to today,
What's here, in my chest -
Fly in the chapel of the Holy Sepulcher
And there on the plates are fall.

... Oh, I would go there barefoot,
Blind from blessed tears
Like that heavenly Yerusalim,
What Christ built us,
You will be my living in my heart
When you fly there,
Where I can no longer go barefoot
By earthly - never ...
Ah, white city, sacred dream,
The sick heart of the earth ...
"After all, you wanted to go to Calvary, Raymon -
Get up, they came for you.
Did you go somewhere with a cross, Raymon?
So, we have already come. "

When you are taken to the walls,
You will be almost hard.
Disintegrate
Leads an honorary escort.
And he had an escort - soldiers,
The crowd along the stagnam paths ...
And he had an escort - winged,
But who will help - carry? ..
In the radiance, not in the rags dressed,
Still hold out, paladin ...
Ah, Simon Kirinean, where you are,
Why am I completely alone? ..
But there is no Simon, but below - all the brothers,
That circus, and they are waiting for the holiday.
Turn with their hand, you have to tell them,
What you know - they will reach.
The teeth of the wall are now stained,
It remains not to wait long
And scary - but who could refuse,
What is it - to betray!
Ruthless court and paths are cruel,
But what else to do with yourself
When in the east - there, in the east,
Gluming slightly above the ground -
Yes, you recognized. The knee kneel
And bow to him.
My voice is towards Yerusalem,
Fly, my dove, to Yerusalem,
Released into darkness ...

... and the city was taken - for the glory of faith,
And is it important - already -
As down from the walls rolled up, the messers,
Raimon Porsche's head?
We all lie in that land - without account,
With a thousand years of journey,
But you see, the hunt began again,-
- Fly, my pigeon, fly ...

Stone, stone path.
I love my life so much, my god,
Although I know what will be with me.
And in a thousand years
I will regret that I do not lay down there,
Because we are all forgotten in the flesh of the earth,
And there, you, I would be glad
Small honor - righteous death,
Good, the only one in the world
When these walls will no longer protect us ...
