O, Hear your people’s cries,
The devastation of this hour…
Their fight for victory has begun,
against the Tsarist horde,
the Evil you know so well…
 
O, Sing to me, Taras,
Songs of the Kobzars, of glory,
your ancient truths of freedom…
Breathe within my spirit, within me love,
for God, for my fellow man, for Ukraine…
 
O, Speak to me, Taras,
Be a clarion call to purpose,
in words of unity, of struggle, power…
Breathe ancient words of scripture, of truth,
and of your homeland, Ukraine…
 
O, Heal me, Taras, my muse,
Spirit speak right through me…
I too have been broken, imprisoned,
separated from my purpose,
from my one true calling in life…
 
O, Sing to me, Taras,
Songs of Ukraine, of glory…
Speak your universal call for justice,
the ancient truths of freedom,
and love for our fellow man…
