The Tale of the Armament of Igor · 1915
Part III · V. Igor's Return to Russia
Translated by Leonard A. Magnus (1915)
The sun shines in the heavens. Igor the prince is in the Russian land. The maidens sing on the Danube; their voices mingle across the waters [and are borne] to Kiev.
Igor repairs up [the hill] Boricev to the Holy Mother of God at Pirogosc.
The countries are happy, the cities rejoicing; singing a song to the princes of yore: and hereafter the young shall sing it.
Glory, oh Igor Svyatoslavic, brave bull Vsevolod, Vladimir Igorevic!
The princes prosper and the druzina fighting for the Christians against the Pagans!
Glory to the Princes and (praise) to the druzina! AMEN.
