Rock Me [Russian translation]

Now won't you hear me singin

Hear the words that I'm saying

Wash my soul with water from on high

Why the world loves love is around me

Evil forced to buy me

But oh, if you leave me,I will die

You hold me in the bosom

Till the storms of life is over

Rock me in the cradle of our love

Only feed me till I want no more

Then you take me to your blessed home above

Make me journey brighter

You make my burning lighter

Help me to do good wherever I can

Oh, let thou praise and thrill me

Thou loving kindness fill me

Then you hold me

Hold me in the hollow of the hand

You hold me in the bosom

Till storms of life is over

Rock me in the cradle of our love

Only feed

Then you'll take me to your blessed home above
