Крейсер "Аврора"
Дремлет притихший северный город,
Низкое небо над головой...
Что тебе снится, Крейсер "Аврора",
В час, когда утро встаёт над Невой?
Может ты снова, в тучах мохнатых
Вспышки орудий видишь вдали,
Или, как прежде, в чёрных бушлатах
Грозно шагают твои патрули?..
Волны крутые, штормы седые -
Доля такая у кораблей,
Судьбы их тоже, чем-то похожи,
Чем-то похожи на судьбы людей.
Ветром солёным дышат просторы,
Молнии крестят мрак грозовой...
Что тебе снится, Крейсер "Аврора",
В час, когда утро встаёт над Невой?
Cruiser "Aurora"
The northern city sleeps in calm aura,
Over the head the skies are so close.
What do you dream of, cruiser Aurora,
When over Neva a morning dawn glows?
Maybe again you see in rain clouds
Fires of cannons and flashes offshore,
Or night patrols in black navy jackets
Strike their fearsome steps as before.
Steep stormy waves and gray raging weather,
That is the fate of ships yet again,
Fates of the ships too are like bird feathers,
Often resemble the fates of the men.
Seaside expanses breathe windstorm blows as
Lightning strikes crisscross [the] stormy night skies...
What do you dream of, cruiser Aurora,
When over Neva the dawn's on the rise?

I realize that pressing "Thanks"
is really hard for most of you, yet
you should keep on trying...
