Romanov Tribute. За Отрока за Голубя за Сына

Песня Юлии Берёзовой на слова Марины Цветаевой, Song written and sang by Julia Berezova; lyrics Marina Tsvetaeva (18921941), 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.
