Я вернусь [Ya vernusʹ] [English translation]

Again the longship calls me to a journey,

All that remains is bidding my home farewell

Again my heart feels heavy, but I will return,

For the time being though, I cannot remain.

I left my fatherland,

The land of my fathers and grandfathers.

I will return, as promised

With victory!

With the morning dew I'll return.

Early spring I will return.

As snow or rain from the sky, I'll descend.

There, where I am awaited and loved, I'll return.

A look for the last time,

At the farewell hour,

Consumes my soul with fire.

Again the longship calls me to a journey

I cannot violate my oaths.

I left my fatherland,

The land of my fathers and grandfathers.

I will return, as promised

With victory!

With the morning dew I'll return.

Early spring I will return.

As snow or rain from the sky, I'll descend.

There, where I am awaited and loved, I'll return.

With the morning dew...
