Ukranian National Anthem
Ukranian National Anthem
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
1. Ukraine is not yet dead,
nor its glory and freedom,
Luck will still smile on us,
young brothers.
Our enemies will vanish,
as the dew does in the sunshine,
and we, brothers,
will be masters in our own land.
CHORUS:
We'll put the soul, the body
for our freedom
and we'll show that we brothers
are of Kozak kin.
Hey, hey, dear brothers,
Let start our work,
Hey, hey, it's time to stand,
Time to strive for freedom.
2. Nalevanko, Zalaznik,
And Taras Trusillo
Call us from the tombs
To the sacred cause.
Let us remember the glorious death
Of the Kozak-knighthood
To avoid the useless waste
Of our youth.
Chorus
3. Oh Bohdan, Oh Bohdan,
Our glorious hetman,
Why had you given Ukraine
To the hateful Moscols.
We'll give our lives
To return her honor.
We'll name us
the true sons of Ukraine.
Chorus
4. Our brothers Slavs
Have already taken the arms.
No one should wait
That we'll remain behind.
Let us unite
Slavic brothers,
Let the enemies die,
Let the freedom come.
Chorus
Not enough room to put the anthem
in their language.
