The day dawned cold windy, the sun is almost hiding

Silently a galley on the water waves is gliding

The night was long and shivering, but although our bones are aching,

The fire in our hearts and in our spirits is awaking



But down the line God knows

How long this river flows

If you 're not there in time

To defend the borderline!



Keep your powder dry, fight hand in hand!

if someone´s conquering our fatherland.

Let their fleet be smashed by cannon balls

And beat them ´till the last invader falls



lalalalalaa  row and fight!

lalalalalaaaa, until the night!

lalalalalaaa, row and fight!

lalalalalaaaaa



The hills look blank and frightening but the old and shattered sail

Is leading us and guiding us and showing us the trail

The evening comes closer and to the song that I sing

In the twilight spectres and phantoms started rising



But at the lower bound

Rest will not be found

A wine´s making it’s round

And the sun sinks to the ground.



Keep your powder dry, fight hand in hand!

if someone´s conquering our fatherland.

Let their fleet be smashed by cannon balls

And beat them ´till the last invader falls
