I have been brought to wait,
in this prison, in these chains
sentenced to oblivion
far from my homeland, Ukraine…
I await my fate, my lost days…
 
I have lost my liberty, my freedom,
listening to the fools to madmen,
throwing my lot with them…
I shall die far from my homeland, Ukraine
under the boot of the oppressor…
