THE LYRICS AND DETAILS ARE IN THE DECRIPTION
On the 10th of March 1904, in the morning, the destroyer ship “Steregushiy”, and another similar to it ship “Reshitelniy”, were tasked with scouting the shores of Elliot islands, near whom might of been Japanese ships. The destroyers were going in very dense fog and surprisingly stumbled on the Japanese fleet of 4 destroyers and 2 Cruisers. The commanders of Russian destroyers were given the task “if you find enemy cruisers or transports, proceed with a surprise attack from torpedoes”. Torpedoes, since with normal artillery on the ship they would have no chance against a cruiser, in addition to not come in contact with enemy destroyers. So the commanders in Russian destroyers decided to run back to port Arthur. “Reshitelniy” which had better motors managed to make it back safely, but “Steregushiy” was surrounded and forced to fight in an unequal fight. Russian destroyer had 4 guns while enemy had 64. In several minutes of firefight all masts and tubes. But the destroyer kept firing back and doing maneuvers, trying to get back to port. But the Japanese shell blew up in coal pit and damaged two boilers effectively stopping the destroyer. Lieutenant Sergeyev was deathly wounded, and formally no one would blame the sailors for surrendering and raising the white flag. But no sailor thought of going against the order of a commander which stated “Fight much, so that each would do his duty of his motherland, and none thought of a shameful give away of a ship. The destroyer must not end up in the enemy's hands.” Andrew's flag was nailed to the pole, and the fight went on. When the shells from the ship artillery ran out, crew kept fighting with rifles, and not letting the japanese close. Only when “Steregushiy” lost all signs of livelihood, Japanese decided to sail to the ship via padboats. On the ship there were 4 commanders and 48 crewmembers. All four commanders died, while 44 crew members also lied dead, only 4 stayed alive, but were heavily wounded, they later got into Japanese war jail. Even the Japanese commanders were amazed at the bravery of this act.
Lyrics(English):
Have mercy on us, God Almighty,
And heed to our prayers!
How our destroyer died “Steregushiy”
Away from its native land.
How our destroyer died “Steregushiy”
Away from its native land.
Commander shouted: “So, fellas!
For us there will be no morning.
Russia is wealthy of heroes:
Let us willingly die for our Tzar!”
Russia is wealthy of heroes:
Let us willingly die for our Tzar!”
And immediately the kingston got opened
And went down into the abyss of the sea
Without grumble, and even without a groan
Away from the native land.
Without grumble, and even without a groan
Away from the native land.
And seagulls there went,
Circling around with deadly grief
And eternal remembrance sung
To the heroes in the abyss of the sea.
And eternal remembrance sung
To the heroes in the abyss of the sea.
That's the strength of Russia to come:
Her heroes are immortal!
How our destroyer lives “Steregushiy”
In the hearts of all people of Russia!
How our destroyer lives “Steregushiy”
In the hearts of all people of Russia!
Lyrics(Русский):
Помилуй нас, Бог Всемогущий,
И нашей молитве внемли!
Так истребитель погиб «Стерегущий»
Вдали от родимой земли.
Так истребитель погиб «Стерегущий»
Вдали от родимой земли.
Командир прокричал: «Ну, ребята!
Для вас не взойдет уж заря.
Героями Русь ведь богата:
Умремте ж и мы за Царя!»
Героями Русь ведь богата:
Умремте ж и мы за Царя!»
И вмиг отворили кингстоны
И в бездну морскую ушли
Без ропота, даже без стона,
Вдали от родимой земли.
Без ропота, даже без стона,
Вдали от родимой земли.
И чайки туда прилетели,
Кружатся с предсмертной тоской,
И вечную память пропели
Героям в пучине морской.
И вечную память пропели
Героям в пучине морской.
В том сила России грядущей:
Герои бессмертны у ней!
Так миноносец живет «Стерегущий»
В сердцах всех российских людей!
Так миноносец живет «Стерегущий»
В сердцах всех российских людей!
