Day / День
The Sun arises in the East,
Cloth'd in robes of blood and gold;
Swords and spears and wrath increast
All around his bosom roll'd
Crown'd with warlike fires and raging desires.

Восходит солнце на востоке,
Кровь и золото – вот его наряд.
Вокруг вскипает гнев жестокий,
Мечи и копья там горят.
Венец его и знаки царской власти –
Огни войны, воинственные страсти.

Day
The Sun Arises in the East,
Cloth'd in robes of blood and gold;
Swords and spears and wrath increast
All around his bosom roll'd
Crown'd with warlike fires and raging desires.

The sun rises in the east,
Blood and gold are his outfit.
Anger boils cruel,
Swords and spears are burning there.
His crown and signs of royal power -
Lights of war, warlike passions.
