Translation of the song За тех, кто в море artist Sofia Rotaru
За тех, кто в море
For those who sail the seas
Ты помнишь, как все начиналось?
Do you remember how everything began?
Все было впервые и вновь.
It was new but just like before
Как строили лодки, и лодки звались
How we built boats
Вера, Надежда, Любовь.
That were called Faith, Hope, Love
Как дружно рубили канаты,
How we cut ropes together
И вдаль уходила земля.
And the shore left far behind us
И волны нам пели, и каждый пятый,
The waves were singing for us
Как правило, был у руля.
And, as a rule, every fifth person was at the helm
Я пью до дна
I drink to the dregs
За тех, кто в море,
For those who sail the seas
За тех, кого любит волна,
For those who are loved by a wave
За тех, кому повезет.
For those who will be lucky
И если цель одна и в радости, и в горе,
If your aim is the same in both joy and grief
То тот, кто не струсил и весел не бросил,
The person who wasn't afraid and didn't leave his oars
Тот землю свою найдет.
He will find his ground
Напрасно нас бури пугали.
Storms frightened us in vain
Вам скажет любой моряк,
Every sailor can tell you
Что бури бояться вам стоит едва ли,
That you don't need to be afraid of storms
В сущности, буря - пустяк.
In fact, storms are nothing
В буре лишь крепче руки,
When there is a storm your hands are stronger
И парус поможет, и киль.
A sail and keel will help you
Гораздо трудней не свихнуться со скуки
It's more difficult not to go crazy from boredom
И выдержать полный штиль.
And to endure dead calm
Я пью до дна
I drink to the dregs
За тех, кто в море,
For those who sail the seas
За тех, кого любит волна,
For those who are loved by a wave
За тех, кому повезет.
For those who will be lucky
И если цель одна и в радости, и в горе,
If your aim is the same in both joy and grief
То тот, кто не струсил и весел не бросил,
The person who wasn't afraid and didn't leave his oars
Тот землю свою найдет.
He will find his ground
