about

Оригинальная версия из документального фильма "Беломорско-Балтийский Водный Путь" (реж. А. Лемберг, 1933) / Original song from documentary "White Sea - Baltic Water Path" (by A. Lemberg,1933)

lyrics

The Canal Army Song (1932-33)
(author unknown, English translation by A. Kifarets / O. Kudrova)

The birch of Karelia, your time has gone,
So bow your head bold under the chopper’s blow.
‘Cross the rivers and lakes, through the rain and snow
The White Sea we reach, to the White Sea we go!..
Red and blue are the dawns of the North
In July or January. As we rose,
Closer was the Sea, closer was the water
So salt, green and cold…
And good was our job, no one let down.
As twenty months passed, we made the Canal.
And for those twenty months we ain’t worked in vain:
We learned to mix cement, fitters and locksmiths became

And we’re lost no more,
The life full of virtues we’ll live, this path we’ll ever go!
