The Legend of the twelve Robbers
A monastic narrative.
Lyrycs by N.Nekrasov
The paintings are by Russian artists
Refrrain; Let us pray to the God, our Lord,
The anciant event we'll proclaim,
The way it was told on the Solovkies
By honorable monk Pitirim.
There were twelve robbers on the roads
With Kudeyar at the head.
They spilled the blood of the Christians
For so many nights, many days.
They robbed and took so much wealth
Living in the very dense forest.
And Kudeyar himself once stole
From near Kiev a beautiful girl.
He lied with the girl in the day
While making the raids at night.
But one day the fiend was awoken
By remorse sent from the Lord.
Kudeyar left his band
And ceased making raids.
He went to the cloister
To serve God and men.
