Хор Иоанна Дамаскина - Крещенская ночь
текст песни

Dark spruce forest with snow like fur
Gray frosts have covered
In sparkles of frost, as if in diamonds
The birches dozed off, bending over

Their branches froze motionless
And between them on the snowy bosom
As if through lace silver
The full month looks from the sky
He rose high above the forest
To see the star quickly
And the shadows creep weirdly
Blue in the snow under the branches

The thicket of the forest was covered with a blizzard, -
Only traces and paths wind
Running between pines and fir trees
Between the birches to the dilapidated gatehouse

Diamond radiant and bright
Playing green and blue
In the east, at the throne of God
The star shines quietly, as if alive

And above the forest higher and higher
The month rises, and in wondrous peace
Frosty midnight freezes
And the crystal forest kingdom!
