Вставай [Vstavay] [English translation]

There, where Sun shines, to where our legs drag us.

There, where our native hills stand! Where the wide Dnieper flows.

Where in tears and tornments the soul was born.

Where the queen burned the Sich out. Where Stalin taught us:

"We are not a Nation. We are the slaves of the Empire."

No matter how hard they beat us, there were those who believed.

That the day will come, and we will make a stand as before.

And as long as blood flows in veins there's a hope.

We will fight till the end for Land and Freedom.

The fighters since birth - we'll get through water and fire

Get on the horse, and at once through the ford, we hold our will and saber in the hand.

People got robbed, but the faith of our hearts is still strong.

They choked us with cold, tormented us with hunger and with hammer

We broke the chains, and now, for any amount of gold

We'll not sale our Freedom. God sees better from heavens!

No matter how Evil rages - the Truth is 100 times stronger!

Oh, witchery, witchery! What a punishment, mother of God?

The Evil bewitched the land, but Truth will win!

Oh, witchery, witchery! What a punishment, mother of God?

The Evil bewitched the land, but Truth will win!

Rise up! Fight! Get up!

Come on, hold on, don't give up!

There's a spark living inside you that can kindle our fire.

The Truth and The Kindness are your shield and sword!

Rise up! Fight! Get up!

Come on, hold on, don't give up!

A spark lives inside you that can kindle our fire.

Truth and Kindness are your shield and sword!

Amidst lie and evil, inside the earth's crust

Here, among the stolen happiness, the created grieves

Amidst the killed feelings, among the forgotten truths

A little fire remained, that still shines bright

I don't care the opinion of the plans of darkness and "Evil genius"

Without doubt, I won't let the plans to be forgotten

All that the centuries gave me I'll hide under my shirt.

Brother, it will be hard, but it's better this way, than to swallow your anger.

I know for sure, the fume will dissipate, angels will rise

I know for sure, the light of the icons will destroy the titans.

I know that something is alive inside the virgin glance.

I know that Truth will win! I know for sure!

Oh, witchery, witchery! What a punishment, mother of God?

The Evil bewitched the land, but Truth will win!

Oh, witchery, witchery! What a punishment, mother of God?

The Evil bewitched the land, but Truth will win!

Rise up! Fight! Get up!

Come on, hold on, don't give up!

There's a spark living inside you that can kindle our fire.

Truth and Kindness are your shield and sword!

Rise up! Fight! Get up!

Come on, hold on, don't give up!

There's a spark living inside you that can kindle our fire.

Truth and Kindness are your shield and sword!

Oh, witchery, witchery! What a punishment, mother of God?

The Evil bewitched the land, but Truth will win!

Oh, witchery, witchery! What a punishment, mother of God?

The Evil bewitched the land, but Truth will win!
