Brotherhood! glorious! - of the mighty sea,
Brotherhood! victorious in great calamity,
Brotherhood! that raced with speed
To rescue those in dire need.

Brotherhood! - so swift and fleet
To help those buried many feet
Below the unforgiving sea,
Trapped victims of great tragedy.

Brotherhood that rescued, saved,
That risks and many hardships braved,
To help the seven doom-consigned
With plans coined by supernal mind.



The world watched the scenario
Hail glorious Super Scorpio!
Oh Super Scorpio! - this name
Inscribe it in the Halls of Fame!.

The Lord who walked Himself the sea,
Is mindful of calamity,
And with much graciousness endowed
The Super-Scorpio with clout.

Fair Yelena! laugh! - weep no more!
They brought your cherished spouse ashore,.
Your faith and trust for good renewed,
Thank God and the brave Brotherhood!

Hail - ! Blessed be the Brotherhood
For noblest effort and pursuit
To save the full-doomed under sea,
And thwart a second tragedy.*

Go praise the Lord, for all the seven
Are saved, let thanks rise up to heaven
Kamtschatka sing!- your seven boys
Were rescued, sing and dance, rejoice!

Praise rescuers and praise the crew
Alive, and save returned to you,
And thank the Lord for He is good!
And the brave noble Brotherhood!


* The tragedy of the Submarine Kursk when 118 of the best sailors perished in August 2000.
