Grusha saves the child from the Ironshirts. She swears to always keep him safe. She baptizes him in the freezing glacier water.
lyrics
After her escape from the Ironshirts,
After twenty two days of wandering the glacier,
Grusha became mother to the child.
Oh, the helpless girl became the mother of the helpless child.
Nobody wants to take you, so I will.
Thats why Im carrying you still.
Ive come to love you, though my feet are sore.
I wont walk without you anymore.
Ill throw away your fine shirt. Ill wrap you in rags.
Ill give you everything you have.
The water from the glacier will clean and save your soul.
You will have to bear the cold.
On this black day in this bitter year, no one else is here
But me
And you, my dear.
As Grusha Vaschnadze,
pursued by the Ironshirts,
came to the narrow footbridge on the eastern slope,
she came across the rotten bridge
and risked two lives.
