| Upstairs, comrades! |
| All in place!
|
| The last parade is coming.
|
| Our proud Varyag does not surrender to the enemy,
|
| Nobody wants mercy.

| Our proud Varyag does not surrender to the enemy,
|
| Nobody wants mercy.
|
| All the pennants curl and the chains rattle
|
| Anchors are raised up.
|
| Prepare for battle! |
| Guns in a row
|
| They sparkle ominously in the sun.

|
| It whistles and rumbles and rumbles all around,
|
| The thunder of cannons, the hiss of shells.
|
| And our fearless and proud "Varangian" became
|
| It's like pure hell.

|
| It's like pure hell.
|
| Bodies tremble in death throes,
|
| Thunder of guns, and smoke, and wailing
|
| And the ship is engulfed in a sea of fire
|
| It's time to say goodbye.

|
| It's time to say goodbye.
|
| Farewell, comrades! |
| With God, cheers!
|
| The boiling sea below us!
|
| We did not think brothers with you yesterday,
|
| That now we will die under the waves.

|
| That now we will die under the waves.
|
| Neither stone nor cross will tell where they lay down
|
| To the glory of the Russian flag.
|
| Only sea waves will glorify alone
|
| The heroic death of the Varyag.
