Our boy Aliev at the show yesterday, skating to the “Let us pray for our parents”

This is one of my favorite gala programs of the season as it makes me teary-eyed every time I see it

Lyrics in English
I drank in early adulthood,
But now would run away
As a child to escape.
How do you want to cuddle, mom,
And tell dad mysteries,
Share secrets…
You will forgive me
Seperate my sins,
How time whirled is unknown.
Let your home store
Love and tenderness.
They are from my childhood,
My childhood.
Let us pray for our parents,
For all the living and the gods!
And in an hour, when it becomes colder
Their souls warm the candles…
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Each of us became
Wiser and older
But only now have we grasped,
Comprehended truth.
God granted you leave
A minute earlier
His children, gray long ago,
We were gray for a long time…
You will forgive me
Seperate my sins,
How time whirled is unknown.
Let your home store
Love and tenderness.
They are from my childhood,
My childhood.
Let us pray for our parents,
For all the living and the gods!
And in an hour, when it becomes colder
Their souls warm the candles…
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Let us pray for our parents,
For all the living and the gods!
And in an hour, when it becomes colder
Their souls warm the candles…
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
But now would run away
As a child to escape.
How do you want to cuddle, mom,
And tell dad mysteries,
Share secrets…
You will forgive me
Seperate my sins,
How time whirled is unknown.
Let your home store
Love and tenderness.
They are from my childhood,
My childhood.
Let us pray for our parents,
For all the living and the gods!
And in an hour, when it becomes colder
Their souls warm the candles…
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Each of us became
Wiser and older
But only now have we grasped,
Comprehended truth.
God granted you leave

We were gray for a long time…
You will forgive me
Seperate my sins,
How time whirled is unknown.
Let your home store

They are from my childhood,
My childhood.
Let us pray for our parents,
For all the living and the gods!
And in an hour, when it becomes colder
Their souls warm the candles…
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Let us pray for our parents,
For all the living and the gods!
And in an hour, when it becomes colder
Their souls warm the candles…
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
Let us pray for our parents,
Angels, our guardians,
Let us pray, and someday
Let us pray for our children.
