In the tempest of fate, or perhaps our own nature's decree, Three young souls stand tall, against a sea of enmity. Why, pray tell, do we face such a multitude of foes? Is it destiny's whim or the path that each hero chose? Chorus: Chin up, midshipmen! Life's seas may ebb and flow, United are the sail and soul, in joy or in woe. Destiny and Motherland, forever intertwined, In this grand adventure, glory we shall find! Don't curse the stars for the cards they've dealt, Others in the shore may have their share of strife. But here, among us, adversaries will surely be felt, As where honor dwells, challenges are always rife. In matters of the heart, seemingly serene, The lover's path is paved with more than gold. For bliss with one's beloved, the Russian way, I mean, Is not some "piece of cake", but courage brave and bold. Chorus: Chin up, midshipmen! Life's seas may ebb and flow, United are the sail and soul, in joy or in woe. Destiny and Motherland, forever intertwined, In this grand adventure, glory we shall find! The whistle of the sword, the howl of grapeshot near, The eerie silence of a prison's gloomy night, For just one lingering glance, one moment oh so dear, Ah, friends, the price seems hardly right! Yet onward we shall sail, through calm and stormy weather, Our spirits high, our purpose crystal clear. For in this world of chaos, we stand together, Midshipmen united, we shall persevere! Final Chorus: Chin up, midshipmen! Life's seas may ebb and flow, United are the sail and soul, in joy or in woe. Destiny and Motherland, forever intertwined, In this grand adventure, glory we shall find! For honor, love, and country, we'll brave the deepest blue, Our sails unfurled, our hearts forever true!
