I am a nation, whose power is Truth
has not been conquered by anybody!
What evil, what a plague befelled!
My strength appeared in blossom again.
I don't ask anyone for my right to live.
In order to live, I will break all the shackles.
I affirm, I assert myself, because I live.
Muscovia! You came to me to devour,
To kill my daughters and my sons…
And how you steel my iron, grain and coal.
From Devil is your heart, your spirit and your soul.
Do you suppose to the enemy I yield?
— into the grass you gasping fall...
I affirm, I assert myself, I live.
My sons, Ukrainians unbroken,
I am praising for your brave feat.
Go help your parents and the women,
from the yoke children must be freed.
On the Slobojan and Podil fields, Black Sea,
I'm begging you! — kill enemies,
without mercy destroy Kremlin thieves.
I am not ashamed — I still have wounds.
I care about them as springing wheat.
I affirm, I assert myself, because I live.
Rise up! And new life will sprout from my wounds,
that the whole world will see from that,
what a grain! What a strength! what a land!
How not to sow? How can the enemy not be repulsed!
And I am in shine, my wings unfold,
I call my eagles, I call, I call...
I affirm, I assert myself, and I live.
There will still be a clear blue sky,
like mercury our being will rise,
mowers will shine in the rye,
and factories will hum...
And I dawn with a wealth of nation,
I am letting a cloud over the sun.
I affirm, I assert myself, I am alive.
I am a nation whose power is Truth
Has not been conquered by anybody
What evil, what a plague befelled!
My strength appeared in blossom again.
Kremlin rot, tremble in despair!
I turn around, without fear.
I'm putting a gravestone for you!
I affirm, I affirm, because I live.
