THE LIGHT OF CHRISTMAS
melody and text by Alexander Yakovlev Editor
To the bright memory of my parents Galina Alexandrovna and Eduard (Edit) Vasilyevich
1.
The December night opened
the heavenly tent above the earth.
It is decorated with twinkling stars,
snowflakes are flying in it.
And in the midst of this frosty silence,
Through spaces and thousands of years,
Will touch every soul
Wonderful Christmas light!
Chorus:
Let shall shine in the hearts
the light that knows no shadow,
Every hour lived,
Every day we’ve lived.
Living dreams
Both yours and mine,
These holy rays of
Boundless love!
2.
We will supply fragrant spruce
With a star and a garland of candles,
And as before the Three kings from the east
We’ll put the gift under it.
And, having indulged in these affairs,
Suddenly we will understand clearly
How wonderful and joyful
To be alone together!
Chorus:
Let shall shine in the hearts
the light that knows no shadow,
Every hour lived,
Every day we’ve lived.
Living dreams
Both yours and mine,
These holy rays of
Boundless love!
3.
And in the morning, at the light of dawn,
Near the Christmas tree, hubbub and laughter,
Children in a tinsel mess,
This is a wonderful holiday for everyone!
We will be gifted with the love of hearts,
the pure joy of sincere eyes
From our angels of the best hopes
Them who will be our continuations!
Chorus:
Let shall shine in the hearts
the light that knows no shadow,
Every hour lived,
Every day we’ve lived.
Living dreams
Both yours and mine,
These holy rays of
Boundless love!
(Twice)
