With songs You give color, with songs You shade those who will live on the earth. Later You will destroy eagles and tigers: we live only in Your painting here, on the earth. With black ink You will blot out all that was friendship, brotherhood, nobility. You give shading to those who will live on the earth. We live only in Your book of paintings, here on the earth.
