Sadko: The Varangian Merchant's Song(original) |
О скалы грозные дробятся с ревом волны, |
И с белой пеной крутясь бегут назад, |
Но тверды серые утесы, |
Выносят волн напор над морем стоя. |
От скал тех каменных у нас, варягов кости, |
От той волны морской в нас кровь руда пошла, |
А мысли тайны от туманов, |
Мы в море родились, умрем на море |
Мечи булатны, стрелы остры у варягов, |
Наносят смерть они без промаха врагу, |
Отважны люди стран полночных, |
Велик их Один бог, угрюмо море. |
(translation) |
O formidable rocks are crushed with the roar of the wave, |
And with white foam, spinning, they run back, |
But the gray cliffs are hard, |
They endure the pressure of the waves over the sea while standing. |
From the rocks of those stone with us, the Varangians bones, |
From that wave of the sea, blood ore went into us, |
And the thoughts of the mystery from the fogs, |
We were born in the sea, we will die in the sea |
Swords are damask, arrows are sharp among the Varangians, |
They inflict death without a miss on the enemy, |
Brave people of midnight countries, |
Their One God is great, the sea is gloomy. |
