Spy returns praising the City

A mighty City, Great Novgorod
big, lively, rich and modern

The women fat and very beautiful
carrying gold upon themselves

Nobody has a weapon, the´re unarmed
Men dress in silk, have hats, furs, gloves and jewels

Children run streets with feet in shoes
We will be rich in no time, too

Nobody carries weapons- they´re unarmed
We will be rich in no time, too

The Viking Chief sent out spies, who soon return, joyous with enthusiasm. A self-confidence of a certain victory emerges
