Anthem
Ukraine's Glory Has Not Perished
Pre-2003
lyrics
Ukraine has not yet perished, nor her glory, nor her freedom,
Upon us, fellow Ukrainians, fate shall smile once more.
Our enemies will vanish like dew in the sun,
And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our
own.
CHORUS(×2)
Souls and bodies we'll lay down, all for our freedom,
And we'll show that we, brothers, are of the Cossacknation!
We'll stand, brothers, in bloody battle, from the Syan
to the Don,
We will not allow others to rule in our motherland.
The Black Sea will smile and grandfather Dnieper will
rejoice,
For in our own Ukraine fortune shall shine again.
CHORUS(×2)
Our persistence and our sincere toils will 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 will be known among all nations.
CHORUS(×2)
Original
lyrics
Ukraine
has not yet perished,
The glory and the freedom!
Still upon us brave brothers,
Fate shall smile!
Our enemies will vanish
Like dew in the sun;
We too shall rule
In our country.
Soul
and body we will lay down
For our freedom
And show that we brothers
Are are of the Cossack nation,
Hey, hey dearest brothers
Onward take to battle
Hey, hey, time to rise,
Time to gain freedom!
Nalyvaiko,
Zalizniak
And Taras Triasylo
Call us from beyond the grave
To the holy battle.
Recall the famous death of
Chivalarious Cossacks
Not to lose vainly
Our youth.
Soul
and body ...
Oh
Bohdan, Bohdan
Our great hetman
What for did you give Ukraine
To wretched muscovites?!
To return her honor,
We lay our heads
We shall call ourselves Ukraine's
Faithful sons!
Oh
Bohdan, Bohdan
Our great hetman
What for did you give Ukraine
To wretched muscovites?!
To return her honor,
We lay our heads
We shall call ourselves Ukraine's
Faithful sons!
Soul
and body ...
Our
Slavic brothers
Already took up arms
No one shall see
That we should stay behind.
Unite together all,
Brothers Slavs:
So that enemies perish,
And freedom comes!
Soul
and body ...
Current
lyrics
Ukraine and its glory has not died yet, nor her freedom,
Upon us, fellow compatriots, fate shall smile once more.
Our enemies will vanish, like dew in the morning sun,
And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our
own.
Souls
and bodies we'll lay down, all for our freedom,
And we will show that we, brothers, are of the Cossacknation!
