(Verse 1)
Through cedars and rocks, through winds and thunderstorms,
Captain Arsenyev was walking through the taiga,
And nearby — Dersu, the Sage and the Seer,
In the midst of wild spaces, there is no more reliable friend.
(Chorus)
Oh, Primorsky Krai is an age—old mystery,
Every stream here is like a living legend.
Dersu and Arsenyev — through the years and dates
They stayed in our hearts like a breath of wind.
(Verse 2)
They read the footprints, understood the silence,
Taiga was respected, not taken in vain.
Dersu said: "The forest — it notices everything,
Don't you dare hurt a beast or a stone."
(Chorus)
Oh, Primorsky Krai is an age—old mystery,
Every stream here is like a living legend.
Dersu and Arsenyev — through the years and dates
They stayed in our hearts like a breath of wind.
(Verse 3)
And the city of Arsenyev stands above the valley,
As a memory of those who walked without looking back.
We walked through the mists, through the cold and heavy rains,
By opening this land to distant descendants.
(Bridge)
Let time fly, let the cards change,
But in the rustle of the needles, in the cry of the eagle
Their road lives — without pathos, proudly,
It's like a song that taiga has saved in her heart.
(Chorus)
Oh, Primorsky Krai is an age—old mystery,
Every stream here is like a living legend.
Dersu and Arsenyev — through the years and dates
They stayed in our hearts like a breath of wind.
