you will marry. Choose one of us. If you want a merry and handsome lad, give me a sign. If you prefer a more settled and boring type, choose Gavrilo. If you are looking for lumps, choose Buslai. If you wish to be a mistress in your home, I'm your partner. I do not know what to say to you. Both of you are good. In time I shall give you my answer. Brothers! People of Novgorod! The Germans have taken Pskov and are advancing toward you! They are slaughtering everyone who dared to take up arms! One who is caught with a sword, is killed for the sword! One who is caught with a loaf of bread, is killed for the bread! Mothers and wives are tortured for their sons and husbands! The Germans are like wild beasts! We know them well! One who raises his voice to scream, is killed for the scream. One who is silent, is killed for the silence. They have divided Russia among the German warlords. One was awarded Pskov, another - Novgorod! Leave your trade, good people of Novgorod! Wait! What is this senseless commotion? Don't confuse these folks! We have a treaty with the Germans. What is Pskov to us? If need be, we'll ransom ourselves! We have surplus of goods, lying around needlessly. The waterfronts are piled high with goods. The stores are full. Will you trade Russia for your goods? What's with you? What Russia? Where have you seen it last? It's every man for himself. Wherever you make your bed, there's your homeland. You lying dog! A snake is known by its hiss. Don't you feed me what I can't swallow! A mother or a stepmother, it's all the same to the rich! Where they make a profit, there is their motherland. To us, the simple folk, the Germans bring certain death. We must invite Prince Alexander and strike at the Germans! - Alexander? Never! - We don't want Alexander! - We don't want him! - Summon Alexander! Let's not wait for Alexander. We shall gather a host and strike at the Germans ourselves! Domash the son of Tverdislav will lead us into battle. He has seen harder battles than this. Lead us, Domash! - Domash for general! - Lead us into battle, Domash! We are beset by a great misfortune. A great trouble requires a great man. Not I, another leader is needed here. A man whose arm is stronger and mind is clearer than mine whose glory has spread through the land and reached the enemy! Who is that man, brothers? Prince Alexander, son of Yaroslav! We must invite Alexander and call Russia to arms. Otherwise the Germans will decimate the Russian people. We will be squeezed between the Germans and the Mongols and then we'll know what trouble means! Call for Alexander! - City of Pskov - Great Master! Pskov is at your feet. That's not the way to make cities surrender. If you give me Novgorod in this state. I shall hang you on the nearest tree. Great Master! Order your men to gather ropes! Ropes? Why? To tether the rebels at Novgorod! They brazenly decided to resist and invited Prince Alexander. That was the man who defeated the Swedes on the Neva. A man capable of defeating us has not yet been born. As to princes, I have enough of my own. The brave knight Hubertus. As Lord of all the conquered Russian lands I dub you the Prince of Pskov. The glorious knight Dietlieb. You shall be the Prince of Novgorod. Hurry to Novgorod, Ananias. You must incite the residents against Prince Alexander. There is only one Lord, who is in heaven and his pontiff on Earth is but one. There is only one sun to light the whole universe and lend its light to the planets and stars. Holy Rome alone shall rule the world. Whoever does not bow to Rome shall be put to death! Well, do you agree? It won't be your way, Tverdilo. Russia won't bow to the Germans. We have beaten you in the past, we shall beat you yet again! - All in good time! - Hang the foul-mouth! Father! Let me come with you, father! Go away, Vasilisa! ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Муму на английском - текст Красная палатка на английском - текст Руслан и Людмила на английском - текст Маньяк-полицейский на английском - текст Секретный агент на английском |
