Lyrics:
My friend, let’s join the military array!
Do you heard a thunder at the East -
it means tomorrow will be battle!
Damn enemies invaded our home again,
Imperialist horde attacks everywhere again!
Woe for the people have come from East again,
It is time to remember again how to be cossacks!
Brothers, let’s rise up bravely for a holy war.
Spirit of Taras* is burning in everybody’s heart!
To liberate Ukraine-Mother from the hell!
Everyone is doing what he can
to make moment of the victory closer!
Let’s go faster! God is with us!
Be blessed, my native land!
The best reward is honor from the people!
Let’s rise up to the sky our flags!
Ukrainian lands: from Yalta* to Odesa*!
From Donetsk steppes to Carpathian mountains!
Chernihiv* and Sumy* - songs of cossack hetmans.
Sun of victory will shine and there will be peace again!
Forces of darkness are attacking us,
My brother, it’s time for battle!
Oh, there is fine guys in Armed Forces [of Ukraine],
Also many volunteers from Maidan* joined the army!
We have no fear, we liberate our land
From moskovites!
Hey! In common front,
Hey-hey, our hearts are together!
To expel the enemy abroad
We will zealously!
Go away from my home, occupants!
Our work is sacred!
No one dies twice!*
For truth! For freedom! For nation!
Evil times! Wild dogs
Gnaw the native land,
It is hard to expel it!
Damn enemies should know:
they can’t overcome us!
Daughters and sons of Ukraine are different, but united!
Knightly victory, readiness for battle,
Faith in a friend and the whole nation!
Our blood is hot, we have cossack’s character,
And Holy Mother will protect us from distress and evil.
Enemy’s “Grads“* aren’t stop,
it continues to shoot us!
Enemies must die in distress!
How many Ukrainians have you killed in captivity.
Hey, we will remember, hey,
A lot of woe, a lot of pain...
If we will die in a battle, our children must know
Our hate to the dogs of Kremlin!
From Sian to Don*, fierce curses to you
For our died cossacks.
The time will come, and everybody of us
Will be judged by God at the Final Judgment.
We have a lot of sins, but we believe,
That we are fight against black horde for for the right cause!
Trumpets again call us to the battle!
We will stay in defence of our land!
Flags are above our heads!
Cossack spirit is with us!
Only forward!
