Unrecognized winner, Alexsander Nevski, returned to Novgorod Instead of a celebration he got a discontented boyars “Why did you fight with Swedes, they came in peace they wanted to trade You started war with a friend” - the foolish people screamed Nevski raised his hand and began to speak and the crowd became quiet Without the noise that you make you could hear the coins jingle In the pockets, of the bawlers here, its Swedish silver. I have something to show you, something to make you stop, To stop your stupid barking.
Alexander took out a Swedish scroll with a blue dangling stamp on the rope and gave it to the scribe near by. He brought it to his eyes and read out loud:
But, at that time on the bank of Dvina, Where crusaders built the fortress Riga Happy bazaar, rivers of wine, people are smiling, no sign of evil But what is that clank, its Germans crusaders… The black behavior beneath the flag of light.
Blood, hanging, screams ringing through the wood… The German’s army moves to the east, having seized our stronghold A dozen horsemen cross the threshold of the royal court Pskov and Izborck seized already, Novgorod will be next Boyars run to Alexander beseeching him to save the fort
Free your nation from the cage The land of Russia must survive Punish the Germans with all your rage Don’t let them stay alive
