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.
