High upon a mountain, a hilltop,
a tremor, above the mighty Dnipro,
the Bard stirs in his tomb, restless,
for His is The Great Grave, where glory
was hidden, safeguarded, on the heights…
The glory of Ukraine has been opened,
the treasure that Moskals fought for hidden,
together Kobzars, black-haired maidens
all sing songs of their victory, triumph,
for their boundless love of Ukraine…
together resolute in this battle
standing against Moskals once again,
the same evil as before, criminals,
seeking to steal, to destroy,
to rob Ukraine of its treasure,
her homeland, her identity…
a tremor, above the mighty Dnipro,
the Bard stirs in his tomb, restless,
for His is The Great Grave, where glory
was hidden, safeguarded, on the heights…
the treasure that Moskals fought for hidden,
together Kobzars, black-haired maidens
all sing songs of their victory, triumph,
for their boundless love of Ukraine…
together resolute in this battle
standing against Moskals once again,
the same evil as before, criminals,
seeking to steal, to destroy,
to rob Ukraine of its treasure,
her homeland, her identity…
