Examples from texts

But when the bell sounded the noise ceased, a flight of sparrows rose from the plane-trees, and the breathless students betook themselves to their lesson in plain-chant with folded arms and hanging heads.
Звонил колокол, шум стихал, с платанов поднималась целая туча воробьев. Ученики, еще запыхавшись, отправлялись на урок церковного пения и стояли, скрестив руки и понурив головы.

He had a blinding image of an old, old nightmare... standing on the block, hearing an auctioneer chant his description, while cold eyes stared at him.
Торби ярко припомнил старый-старый кошмар: он стоит на платформе, слыша, как аукционер выкрикивает его описание и холодные глаза осматривают его.

In the next room I heard him on Monday and Tuesday chanting to himself "The Bridegroom cometh," and he was delighted with the verses and the chant.
Я слышал из другой комнаты, как он в понедельник и во вторник напевал про себя: "Се жених грядет" - и восторгался и напевом и стихом.

“By the power of Grguch!” the not-quite-so-out-of-control Toogwik Tuk cleverly added, and many of the villagers, so used to the chant by then, shouted the words right along beside him.
— Могущество Гргуча! — предусмотрительно добавил ничуть не смутившийся Туугвик Тук, и многие селяне, привыкшие хором повторять все его призывы, скандировали и последнюю фразу.

“Enough blood,” Jacques whispered hoarsely as he lit the scented candles and began another low chant.
– Достаточно крови, – прошептал Жак севшим голосом, зажигая ароматические свечи и подхватывая низкое пение.
