Poem
“Souls and Bodies We’ll Lay Down” Ominous clouds have Invaded my soul; Thrust swords into my heart. Darker than the midnight air. Stars gone forever more. Bloodied hands in my dreams. I dream not of tranquility But of lightning and thunder Pain and hunger. I pray for your peace Your hope and honor. For blue skies and golden wheat. I pray that your Trident, Strikes the heart of evil Bringing this aberration to its knees Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I beseech thee please Save them from this hell. May your anthem be sung By all the peoples, Of all the nations, Of this world. I leave you with this heart felt anthem of the Ukraine Nation Ukraine has not yet perished, nor her glory, nor her freedom, Upon us, fellow Ukrainians, fate shall smile once more. Our enemies shall vanish, like the dew in the sun, And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our own. Chorus: Souls and bodies we'll lay down, all for our freedom, And we'll show that we, brothers, are of the Cossack nation! II We'll stand, brothers, in bloody battle, from the Sian to the Don, We shall not let others rule in our motherland The Black Sea will smile and grandfather Dnipro will rejoice, For in our own Ukraine fortune shall shine again. Chorus Souls and bodies we'll lay down, all for our freedom, And we'll show that we, brothers, are of the Cossack nation! III Our persistence and sincere toils shall be rewarded, And freedom's song will throughout all of Ukraine resound. Echoing off the Carpathians, and across the steppes rumbling, Ukraine's fame and glory shall be known 'mong all nations. Chorus Souls and bodies we'll lay down, all for our freedom, And we'll show that we, brothers, are of the Cossack nation! The lyrics of the anthem were written in 1862 by Pavlo Chubynsky – Ukrainian ethnografist, folklorist and poet
