Географическая [Geograficheskaya] [English translation]

When Bering reached the north-west channel

For the first time in his life,

He walked out to the desserted sea shore

And the steamer was passing by there.

Bonapart worked as cook there

But he never prepared food -

Just looked with fierce eyes

at the mirror-like surface of empty water.

So he rushed wildly between the rocks

And cut the water, like the dagger.

Well, he was not looking for happiness

and he was not running from happiness too.
