Have you forgotten me, Lord up above?
I stand here forsaken by all I love.
Hear me, oh hear me and answer my plea,
Send an angel to earth to comfort me!
A soldier stands guard on the Volga’s side,
He keeps his watch on the river wide.
The night is dark and full of fear,
Silent is the land around,
Not a shred of comfort has he found,
And his heart cries out in loneliness.
[3x:]
Have you forgotten me, Lord up above?
I stand here forsaken by all I love.
Hear me, oh hear me and answer my plea,
Send an angel to earth to comfort me!
