She lives on, our Ukraina!
Her freedom and glory —
Let us hope that once more fortune
May illume Her story.
Like the dew before the sunshine
Our foes disappearing,
We shall rule, Oh, youthful brethren!
Our land, nothing fearing.
Chorus . Soul and body sacrificing
For our freedom cherished,
We shall show we are the sons of
Mighty Cossacks perished!
Nalivaiko and Zalizniak
And Trasilo — falling —
Urge us to our sacred duty,
From the grave-hills calling!
Let us keep in our remembrance
Deaths of Cossacks knightly,
For our youth, our splendid manhood,
We would not spend lightly.
Chorus Soul and body sacrificing
For our freedom cherished,
We shall show we are descendants
Of great Cossacks perished!
Her freedom and glory —
Let us hope that once more fortune
May illume Her story.
Like the dew before the sunshine
Our foes disappearing,
We shall rule, Oh, youthful brethren!
Our land, nothing fearing.
Chorus . Soul and body sacrificing
For our freedom cherished,
We shall show we are the sons of
Mighty Cossacks perished!

And Trasilo — falling —
Urge us to our sacred duty,
From the grave-hills calling!
Let us keep in our remembrance
Deaths of Cossacks knightly,
For our youth, our splendid manhood,
We would not spend lightly.
Chorus Soul and body sacrificing
For our freedom cherished,
We shall show we are descendants
Of great Cossacks perished!
