Трембіти плачуть за мій вільний народ
Котре століття жиє поміж негод
Племен молитви чули і перун і дажбог
Віче формуло код етнічних спільнот
Аби було добре всім вельможам і панам
Боронив із козаками землю отаман
Моя Батьківщина як дівчина молода
Буде проростати як пшениця золота
Гей, вийди доле із води
Визволь моє серденько з біди
Come out from the watter destiny
All my sisters all my brothers
Give the drop that all we need
Тіні забутих предків моїх і твоїх
В літописах, серцях, очах, крові віків на вік
Shadows of forgotten ancestors
In chronicles, hearts and eyes, in our blood forever
Imma girl from a small town
My folks, are best bescribed in the writting of Dumas
One for all and all for one
Nowadays, Dante would’ve written the divine tragedy
But we need Picasso’s dove. it’s the divine strategy
In my childhood girls played with toy dolls
But I wrote these words here
Coz my favorite toy was a book of Shakespeare
Just like the Brothers Grimm
I’ll leave behind a peace of me
Rememeber your ancestors
But write your own history
Тіні забутих предків моїх і твоїх
В літописах, серцях, очах, крові віків на вік
Shadows of forgotten ancestors
In chronicles, hearts and eyes, in our blood forever
Тіні забутих предків моїх і твоїх
В літописах, серцях, очах, крові віків на вік
Shadows of forgotten ancestors
In chronicles, hearts and eyes, in our blood forever
