Lyrics
Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля
Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля,
Ще нам, браття молодії, усміхнеться доля.
Згинуть наші вороженьки, як роса на сонці,
Запануєм і ми, браття, у своїй сторонці.
ПриспівДушу й тіло ми положим за нашу свободу,
І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду.
Phonetic Transliteration
Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy i slava, i volia,

Zapanuem i my, brattia, u svoii storontsi.
PryspivDushu y tilo my polozhym za nashu svobodu,
I pokazhem, shcho my, brattia, kozatskoho rodu.
English translation
The glory and freedom of Ukraine have not yet perished,
Nor has fate yet smiled upon us, young brothers.
Our enemies will vanish like dew in the sun,
And we too, brothers, shall rule in our own land.
ChorusWe will lay down our souls and bodies for our freedom,
And we will show that we, brothers, are of the Cossack nation.
