Verse1
You are hovering high
In the glacial sky, over sea abyss.
Seagull, the bird of grief, tell me - what have you seen?
Have you seen that wind
Carries valiant ships of varangian jarls
And strong fearless warriors go to
The sea.
Refrain1
Depraved of hope
Believing not in return
To face the force of fate...
Verse2
Countless are the ships
That have left the black rocks in the mist of the night,
Condemned to suffer and doomed to roam.
You have seen many of those
Men, who walked on the long path from shore to shore,
And just few of them who made their way back from
The sea.
Refrain2
Depraved of hope
Believing not in return
To face the force of fate...
Warriors sail.
Bridge (in Ukrainan)
Verse3
Give your blessing to them
For the warriors to return to their homes.
From distant seas and dangerous paths
Refrain3
Depraved of hope
Believing not in return
To face the force of fate...
Depraved of hope
Believing not in return
To face the force of fate...
Warriors sail.
