| Ahead of the ocean ... My commander is calm -
|
| Recklessness and risk are not in his favor.
|
| Behind the caravan, I am a convoy ship,
|
| And he is obliged to bring his transport home.
|
| And I'm cramped in the ranks, and I want to fight,
|
| I'm trembling from tank to poop in a fever.
|
| But an order is an order: I am a convoy ship.
|
| This means I don't belong to myself.
|
| The third day we go. |
| The sun warms the deck.
|
| Not a combat campaign, but a luxurious cruise.
|
| And the transport relaxed, fell on the rail,
|
| What will you take from civilians? |
| Only I'm not a tourist.
|
| I know what this silence is worth
|
| I am ready to recognize their watch every moment.
|
| Apparatuses on "tovs!", I am a convoy ship,
|
| I know what it means to substitute your board.
|
| Well, he croaked: “Polundra!”, The acoustics gave out the bearing.
|
| A little to the right along the course, the noise of propellers cut through the night.
|
| More fun, guys, do not give vent to sadness,
|
| I have been waiting for this moment and I can help you!
|
| We will catch up with her. |
| But why? |
| What?
|
| Why "stop the car!" |
| and am I lying in a drift?
|
| Why am I not free?.. Why am I in an escort?..
|
| Why do I not belong to myself.
|
| Why am I not free?.. Why am I in an escort?..
|
| Why don't I belong to myself...
|
| With a thunder of hundreds of trunks the base salutes us,
|
| They probably recognized me, because I walked like a sheep.
|
| In the sea, I never chased the enemy
|
| And in a fierce battle he did not stand to the end.
|
| Who will save my honor? |
| Who will wash them with blood?
|
| Commander, I ask you to look into my eyes.
|
| And he said in response: “You are a convoy ship.
|
| We have reached, so you have proved everything!” |
