For tomorrow through the predawn fog we&go in the campaign. Let&sing cheerfully, may our grey and seasoned captain sing along with us. Chorus: Farewell to the beloved town! We put to sea tomorrow. And a glimpse of a familiar blue kerchief will be caught astern at dawn... This evening is so lovely that we can&help but sing. About a great friendship, about our sea duty let&sing, friends, all together! Chorus. A silence has settled in the large roadstead*, a fog has veiled the sea, a wave kisses the dear shore and silently brings the sounds of the bayan**: Farewell to the beloved town! We put to sea tomorrow. And a glimpse of a familiar blue kerchief will be caught astern at dawn... * roadstead — a place outside a harbor where a ship can lie at anchor ** bayan — Russian chromatic button accordion
