The stars are falling into the night,
The griefs are hovering over the field,
Among the somber faces,
There is your loneliness.
You were wandering in the forests,
You were falling down from mountains,
You were drinking cold dew,
And you were pouring to the heavens, like a stream.
I am coming home, where life is eternal,
There me and my God will be walking.
There everything will be all right, there is always a meaning,
Get up, rise up, as our God has risen!
Your destiny – is sadness,
The song of a spring sister,
There are odd words,
The friends are still alive there.
Night atones them,
Dream atones them,
You see them alive,
Among the faces of icons.
I am coming home, where life is eternal,
There me and my God will be walking.
There everything will be all right, there is always a meaning,
Get up, rise up, as our God has risen!
My country, Ukraine, where are your sons,
Who were standing for freedom, my Country, where they are?
They saw with their hearts, with their souls,
The enemies, treading you down.
They wanted to subdue us, brake us like the slaves,
But all in vain – wild beasts, you will never brake us,
We are the hairs of that times, and in our hearts live,
A fiery rue in the sky and a free kozak-eagle.
My Country, my Soil, my beloved Ukraine,
I love you, I sing to you, I glorify you in the song.
You people are strong, sincere, kind; I pray to God for you,
That you may prosper, and that peace will be among the nation.
You have known much grief, but you blossomed like a flower,
Among the sadness, among persecution, you stood strong, with no tremble.
I will go for you to the battle, I will pay my duty to my Soil,
That you have raised a son, my beloved Mother Ukraine.
