Greetings, I am just in the preliminary stages of learning Russian and I am in need of getting a phrase translated. The full phrase for context is:
The Church is near,
the bar is far,
the road is icy,
I shall walk carefully.


I need either the whole phrase or just the last line "I shall walk carefully" translated.

Thanks in advance!

I mean - the English translation

In fact, it's a Russian proverb

That I was afraid of. I felt that it had to be a proverb that underwent a series of translations. But I could not recognize it, though, after you quoted it, I could see that it was obvious from the beginning. Shame on me. (falls into rage, gets rid of the last remaining hair)
