LEGEND OF THE OLD LIGHTHOUSE
Listen to me, listen to me, my young lads:
This happened here, this happened here to your dads.
Ask any of the waves from the sea returning,
Gulls in a storm will cry of this tale with yearning.
Sea-cliffs keep quiet about this tale,
It's sung by all the men who sail.
Hot sands will murmur all about it,
And creaky fishing boats will sound it.
You'll learn of it now, my friends!
I like our lighthouse
Every evening
it lights up above the sea
and shows ships the way.
We have a hideously dangerous shore.
If not for the lighthouse, the ships would crash upon the reefs.
I know one story about our lighthouse
It happened a long time ago.
During the War, the fascists extinguished the lighthouse.
and our ships could find no way to approach the shore
to liberate the city.
My father was a boy then
He had a friend -
a girl, true, but a brave one!
Every day, they waited for our soldiers.
Look! Look!
Over there! A boat!
He is heading for the lighthouse.
You're from one of our ships, yeah?
Our landing party is coming here.
I have to light the lighthouse!
I must light the lighthouse in time!
I mu...
Go back right away!
My, aren't we bossy!
Who was lighthouse keeper, your granddad or mine?
Did you climb up to the lighthouse even once?
You've n...
It's electrified!
Run!
Run!!
Jump!
Jump!!!
You're a coward!
What do we do?
What do we do now?
I remember! I remember!
Quiet, you!
Well, what did you remember?
There is a secret passage to the lighthouse.
My grandfather told me and showed me the map.
Come on,
come on.
We need to find that map.
First we go here,
then here...
Let's swear:
we will light the beacon of the lighthouse,
And open the way into the bay for our ships!
We swear!
Where are we now?
In the very wolf's den...
Get to the lighthouse, you two! Quickly!
I'll cover you!
Sea, Off to sleep you rock me,
Of these stormy, great Waves I'm not afraid!
Sea, In most dire hour save me,
If I should go weak, start to sink to my grave,
Lend me your support - a wave
From bullets shield,
And with our friendship sealed, No one can beat us.
Yes, O sea!
No one can beat us.
