Goodbye, Papanin ice floe


The Arctic Ocean
Against North tornadoes
Fought Ivan Papanin
Two hundred and seventy nights.

Guarded by four other
The red flag of his native land -
Until then while the south
Icebreakers did not come!

Chorus:

Goodbye Papanin ice floe
Polar darkness, polar snow
Finished formidable duel -
Element humbled man!

unbridled nature
Infinity-edge ...
Will powerful people
Able to win friends.

The ocean is harsh and angry,
But adversity behind.
The Braves look to the north
And sing to the whole country:

Chorus.

Curl of smoke in the sea spray,
Pours happiness on earth:
Sons loved their fundamentals
Wise Stalin waiting in the Kremlin.

People in the Great Northern Wilderness
With this name we have been
Flies on an ice floe
The red flag of his native land!

Chorus. 1938
