Текст песни
Sails are set in an eastern wind
Salt on skin and sun burned in
Land behind us fades away
Ahead - the wide and open grey
The Baltic's cold, the spirits high
Laughter rings beneath the sky
We are young and we are strong
We think we'll live forever long
But the wind dies
And the water stands
The sail comes down
Now it's in our hands
Oars to the water - come on now!
Strike in rhythm, show us how
Hold the line, pull with me
The sea is watching - row and breathe!
Oars to the water - stay as one!
No one breaks and no one's done
Stroke by stroke, breath by breath
We row toward fate - toward life or death
The river narrows, water slows
No helping wind, the sky goes low
No sail to carry us ahead
Just arms and will and words unsaid
Sweat and blood along the oar
Wood on skin, again, once more
No heroes carved in song or tale
Just men who row - and will not fail
Hmm - ha!
Hmm - ha!
Hmm - ha!
Pull...! strike...! breathe...!
Feel the rhythm!
Feel it burn!
One more!
Row! Come on! Don't let it break!
The river takes all those who shake
Shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand
We row as one - to foreign land
Row! For brother, row for friend!
For home we left and might not end
No songs now, no laughs tonight
Just oars that bite - in endless fight
Day turns night
Night turns day
The water takes
But we still stay
No one cries
No one prays
We row onward
Just one more way
Stroke by stroke!
Pull it through!
No one falters!
No one loose!
Oars to the water - come on now!
