Was this nearly a naval Donner party? What happens when a shipful of sailors find themselves floating in still water for days and days, under the hot, burning sun? Supplies run out, the ship is not moving. No wind. People are hungry, more than hungry. They are weak and starving and thirsty. Vultures fly by, to do for food? Who will survive and who will not? ------------------------------------- Here is a VERY NICE translation: Ария - ШТИЛЬ (Shtil) | Aria - Sea-Сalm (English lyrics) Music - V. Dubinun Lyrics - M. Pushkina Sea-calm - The wind keeps silent Fell as a white seagull to the bottom Sea-calm - our ship is forgotten Alone, in a world fettered by dream... Through all times Without names and faces We await no longer, That a breeze will awake! Sea-calm - losing our minds Blazing heat smells of black resin Death of only one is needed And us, we will return home! His blood and flesh Will re-saturate us And for his death God may requite! What awaits us, the sea is keeping silence The thirst to live dries the hearts to the bottom Only life here worths nothing The life of others, but not yours! No, there was no sound of thunder from the skies When drank blood like animals But unbearable became the brilliance Of the cross, that we call the southern... And at the last moment A wave arise, And a shout was heard: “Land ahead!“ (Translated by Mark Shifrin) ===================================================================================== Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use“ for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
