Happy Finale

The River becomes broad and mighty. The river Olhava becomes a big stream and Russia embraces this, now seemingly little vessel in her lap, carrying the ship forward. The Golden City of Novgorod is close by. Soon, the Vikings tie their ropes to the pier of the City Gate.

Other Vikings will on later years sail this route on to the Black Sea and the Mediterranian and through Gibraltar and along the coasts up to Ireland from the South.

King Rurik´s Novgorod

(Vikings with Choir)

See the Horizon
Look up
Look far
the path
opens up
for us

Beautiful Novgorod
glittering far away
treasures are waiting
for us. King Rurik´s
Mighty Novgorod

Powerful fortress
Guardian of the North
raises the Gates for us

Here are your guests
guests of fortune

Carrying letters written on Bark
proving our mission
to start trading in Furs

So
river ,carries us forward
soon,
we can release our anchors

here opens
Russias womb

Requesting us
in the town
on the pier
throw the ropes
tie the knots and stay

The river Olhava becomes a big stream and Russia embraces this, now seemingly little vessel in her lap, carrying the ship forward. The Golden City of Novgorod is close by. Soon, the Vikings tie their ropes to the pier of the City Gate.
