The regiments stood in deep snow, blood fell on it and from afar it seemed as if they were standing knee-deep in blood. This was the former toy army of little Tsarevich Peter, which he raised and turned into his army. After this battle, Peter introduced a soldier's uniform and ordered the guards to wear red knee-length stockings, so that they would remember that battle and the steadfastness of the guard. Lyrics: The Swedes Are Shackled by the Northern War Not giving Europe a break Charles the Twelfth is rushing into battle again Cutting through the Russian redoubts The last Viking has won But cries are heard in the distance! Chorus: The troops are defeated and fleeing But three regiments have stood to the death A choice is given, to live in shame henceforth Or to die! The king's warriors rejoice The king's army is defeated But the snows of Narva will be sprinkled with blood - three regiments! The army fell, but somewhere by the river Following their vow Standing side by side the toy regiments Repelled the attacks of the Swedes And will go through snow and flame Preserving their banner The troops are defeated and fleeing But three regiments stood to the death A choice is given, to live in shame henceforth Or die! The king's warriors rejoice The tsar's army is defeated But three regiments will sprinkle the snow of Narva with blood! The ringing of Lefortovo's spurs is heard The rustle of Semyonovsky banners Believing in the oath, having fulfilled their duty The Preobrazhensky regiment fights The troops are defeated and fleeing But three regiments stood to the death A choice is given, to live in shame henceforth Or die! The king's warriors rejoice The tsar's army is defeated But three regiments will sprinkle the snow of Narva with blood!
