I
Our land by the sea
Is beautiful and great!
Once seen, it won't leave your mind.
The fearless are called
By its boundless expanse,
Where no person has stepped before!
II
Here, from the sea,
By the will of Peter the Great,
A row of white-winged
Frigates arose.
And so the birthplace of the Russian Navy
Became our home of Arkhangelsk.
III
This is the homeland
Of the great Lomonosov;
He brought the light of knowledge to the world,
The tales of old
And the mysteries of nature
He transformed into scientific realities.
IV
Our land by the sea
Is strong and constantly moving,
And can handle the challenges that come!
Outer space, nature's treasures,
And the depths of the sea —
All of these can be conquered by man!
