Papa, Can You Hear Me? [Russian translation]

God

Oh, God

May the light

Of this flickering candle

Illuminate the night the way

Your spirit illuminates my soul.

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you see me?

Papa, can you find me in the night?

Papa, are you near me?

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you help me not be frightened?

Looking at the skies

I seem to see a million eyes

Which ones are yours?

Where are you now that yesterday

Has waved goodbye

And closed its doors?

The night is so much darker.

The wind is so much colder

The world I see is so much bigger now that I'm alone.

Papa, please forgive me.

Try to understand me.

Papa, don't you know I had no choice?

Can you hear me praying,

Anything I'm saying,

Even though the night is filled with voices?

I remember everything you taught me

Every book I've ever read.

Can all the books and all the words

Help me to face what lies ahead?

The trees are so much taller

And I feel so much smaller.

The moon is twice as lonely

And the stars are half as bright.

Papa, how I love you.

Papa, how I need you.

Papa, how I miss you

Kissing me goodnight…
