Под рокот гражданских бурь,В лихую годину,Даю тебе имя — мир,В наследье — лазурь.Отыйди, отыйди, Враг!Храни, Триединый,Наследницу вечных благМладенца Ирину!8 сентября 1918To clamour of civil strife,in times that are evil,I give you a name that's - peace,an heirloom - blue skies,Get thee hence, Satan! - So preserve, O Redeemer, from whom all blessings flow,the infant Irina!
