?? ?????? ?????? ???? - Anyone better at Russian than I am? It's not hard to do, I promise.

I was trying to check my transliteration of Roman text back into Cyrillic and my obviously inept translation of the following two Russian phrases:

O Lyubvi malyu otchayanno (I pray for love desperately)
-- О любви молюсь отчаено

V krayu dalyokum, chuzhie ne nuzhny. (In distant lands, a stranger is not needed)
-- В краю далёкому чужие не нужны

I recieved the help I requested very promptly, for which I thank my respondent profusely.

They're from Mary Black's Prayer for Love (Molenie O Lyubvi) also recorded by Thom Moore. I still suspect that there is an original Russian song out there somewhere, so if anyone knows about *that* I'd be awfully grateful.

Cheers,

Liobhan
