Russian windows

There is a holy and prophetic sign in nature,
Brightly marked in wreaths:
The most beautiful of women -
A woman with a child in her arms.
From any misfortune of a spell
(She really has no good!),
No, not the Mother of God, but the earthly one,
A proud, sublime mother.
The light of love has been bequeathed to her since ancient times,
And so it has stood for centuries:
The most beautiful of women -
A woman with a child in her arms.
Everything in the world is marked with traces
No matter how many ways I walk,
Apple tree - decorated with fruits,
A woman is the fate of her children.
May the sun always applaud her
So she will live for centuries,
The most beautiful of women -
A woman with a child in her arms.
