Ukraine’s glory has not yet died, nor

Upon us, 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.
Refrain x2
Souls and bodies we’ll lay down, all for
our freedom,
And we will show that we, brothers, are
of the Cossack nation!
