I'm wondering if "ope" is a typo, because in the booklet there's katakana below it that pronounces it as "ゴーレ", which, I guess, would be "горе".
But, then again, I don't speak Russian... it's just a guess. XD;

With the comma, Google translate puts it as "grief is not the sea, drink to the bottom". But, then again, Google trans isn't *always* accurate.

*waits for a native speaker to trans* X3

Горе не море - выпьешь до дна.

[johnny_muffin]

вы хоть как-то суть объяснили xD

to hueha.
sorry, my english is awful D:

[satoshi69]

Горе не море выпьешь до дна (Gore ne more vyp'esh' do dna) - fix'd. The first word spelled wrong in the booklet. .__.
And that means something like "Grief is not a sea, you can drink it to the dregs".

[hueha]

Thank you~ :D *goes to edit*

Small cultural question that's not actually related to the song:

Is this an actual Russian saying? Like, would you say this? If so, when?

Sorry if I'm being a dork, I'm just very curious... x'D

[satoshi69]

Well, that sounds like a saying or just a literary metaphor, but not the common one, I never heard it before. To put it in a simple words, that means like "It's possible to endure any grief". I believe that the lyrics authors just took it from somewhere. In English it's probably sounds odd, but in Russian it's pretty angsty, and of course nobody use such a phrase in daily life. =)
