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 lonelyness.

 Have you forgotten me
 lord up above?
 Have you forgotten me
 lord up above?
 Have you forgotten me
 Lord up above
