4. National
Emblem
Ukraine is not yet dead, nor it's glory and
freedom,
Luck will still smile on us brother-
Ukrainians.
Our enemies will die, as the dew does in
the sunshine,
And we, too, brothers, we'll live happily
in our land.
We'll not spare either our souls or bodies
to get freedom
And we'll prove that we brothers are of
Kozak kin.
We'll rise up, brothers, all of us, from the
Sain to the Don,
We won't let anyone govern in out
motherland.
The Black Sea will smile yet, grandfather
Dnipro will rejoice,
Yet in our Ukraine luck will be high.
Our persistence, our sincere toil will prove
it's rightness,
Still our freedom's loud song will spread
throughout Ukraine.
It'll reflect upon the Carpathians, will
sound through the steppes,
And Ukraine's glory will arise among the
people.
