Svetlana

Svetlana (Cyrillic: Светлана) is a common Orthodox Slavic feminine given name, deriving from the East and South Slavic root svet (Cyrillic: свет), meaning "light", "shining", "luminescent", "pure", "blessed", or "holy", depending upon context similar if not the same as the word Shweta in Sanskrit.

You're trying to understand what can't be understood
You're trying to be a man now you know that you should
And I don't blame you
I don't question your time
And this is something that you already know

So, when I pray by the altar you know that I'm praying for you
I just need someone who's going to pray for me too

You are so petrified of an unhappy life
Despite all you drink, it's still all you think
And I don't blame you
I don't question your life
And this is something that you already know

So, when I pray by the altar you know that I'm praying for you
I just need someone who's going to pray for me too

But you call me saying
Svetlana
Your advice you get from
Svetlana
Need some help count on
Svetlana
But what about me?

You say that deep inside there's nothing that you know
And though you try to learn, idleness takes its turn
And I don't blame you
I don't question your mind
And this is something that you already know

So, when I pray by the altar you know that I'm praying for you
I just need someone who's going to pray for me too X2

But you call me saying
Svetlana
Your advice you get from
Svetlana
Need some help count on
Svetlana
But what about me?

(I'm just as sad as you, don't you know?
I'm just as mad as you, don't it show?
I'm just as sad as you, don't you know?
I'm just as mad as you)
