моря полярные original

Seas the Polar (1960)
Music: A. Averkin, lyrics: V. Matveev

The deep dusk is falling 
And fog's growing grey 
The mist is creeping over 
The ocean from far away.

The sea is a-changing
And the wave is high and wild, 
But our Fatherland dear 
Fills our brave hearts.

Oh seas, the Polar, 
Oh the wave is cold 
For the Soviet homeland 
We stand as the wall!

Our Fleet is mighty, 
Through the battles of Honour. 
And the Sun shines so brightly 
Above our Land and in our souls.

Oh seas, the Polar, 
Oh the wave is cold 
For the Soviet homeland 
We stand as the wall!

Again restless is the night, 
And storm is breaking the sea 
But our borders we guard, 
Safe always we keep!

Oh seas, the Polar, 
Oh the wave is cold 
For the Soviet homeland 
We stand as the wall!

Моря полярные
