Was this nearly a naval Donner party? What happens when a shipful of sailors find themselves floating in still water for days and days, under the hot, burning sun? Supplies run out, the ship is not moving. No wind. People are hungry, more than hungry. They are weak and starving and thirsty. Vultures fly by, curious.What to do for food? Who will survive and who will not?

Here is a VERY NICE translation:
Ария - ШТИЛЬ (Shtil) | Aria - Sea-Сalm (English lyrics)
Music - V. Dubinun
Lyrics - M. Pushkina
Sea-calm - The wind keeps silent
Fell as a white seagull to the bottom
Sea-calm - our ship is forgotten
Alone, in a world fettered by dream...
Through all times
Without names and faces
We await no longer,
That a breeze will awake!
Sea-calm - losing our minds
Blazing heat smells of black resin
Death of only one is needed
And us, we will return home!
His blood and flesh
Will re-saturate us
And for his death
God may requite!
What awaits us, the sea is keeping silence
The thirst to live dries the hearts to the bottom
Only life here worths nothing
The life of others, but not yours!
No, there was no sound of thunder from the skies
When drank blood like animals
But unbearable became the brilliance
Of the cross, that we call the southern...
And at the last moment
A wave arise,
And a shout was heard:
"Land ahead!"
