Капитан Арктика [Capitan Arctica] [English translation]

There are no lost battles.

There are no broken oaths.

He is confidently leading his faithful squad after him.

And the trace is lost

somewhere below zero -

all the islands are perishable to the south-west of the ship.

There are so many hopes along with him ...

Among all the other peaks

he is reliable like cold, he is indestructible like flame.

He is going straight ahead-

the warrior of the gloomy ice -

having left behind the memory-weathered ever-gray cities.

If only one could try

and turn back time -

that would be romance, the wonders of navigation!

But the lighthouse is off.

Silence! Captain of Arctic is speaking.

It's Captain of Arctic.

Yes, all the thoughts are full of

bleeding wounds.

Everyone passes their own meridian the way they are able to.

Oh, how sweet it is to dream

about the other poles.

Blinded with the light, I am fading away amidst his sails.

And the helm is obeying.

And the hand will not flinch

to wrap a hundred winds into these precious silks.

The horizon is so high

somewhere between the weeping orbits,

at the place, where Seven-Sun Hermitage is waiting for the new pilgrims.

If only one could try

and turn back time -

that would be romance, the wonders of navigation!

But the lighthouse is off.

Silence! Captain of Arctic is speaking.

It's Captain of Arctic.

...

There are so many hopes along with him,

and there’s so much desperate severe cold.

He is the only patron saint of a hundred thousand lost souls.

He is going straight ahead

towards the endless tears,

with the surprised masts billowed to the mean skies.

If only one could try

and turn back time -

that would be romance, the wonders of navigation!

But the lighthouse is off.

Silence! Captain of Arctic is speaking.

It's Captain of Arctic.
