When I am dead, bury me
In my beloved Ukraine.
My tomb upon a grave mound high
Amid the spreading plain.

So that the fields, the boundless steppes,
The Dnieper's plunging shore
My eyes could see, my ears could hear
The mighty river roar.

When from Ukraine the Dnieper bears
Into the deep blue sea
The blood of foes ... then will I leave
These hills and fertile fields -

I'll leave them all and fly away
To the abode of God,
And then I'll pray .... But until that day
I know nothing of God.

Oh bury me, then rise ye up
And break your heavy chains
And water with the tyrants' blood
The freedom you have gained.

And in the great new family,
The family of the free,
With softly spoken, kindly word
Remember also me.

I'll leave them all and fly away
To the abode of God,
And then I'll pray .... But until that day
I know nothing of God
I know nothing of God
I know nothing of God
I know nothing of God
I know nothing of God
I know nothing of God
I know nothing of God
I know nothing of God
I know nothing of God

Як умру, то поховайте
Мене на могилі
Серед степу широкого
На Вкраїні милій,
Щоб лани широкополі,
І Дніпро, і кручі
Було видно, було чути,
Як реве ревучий
Як понесе з України
У синєє море
Кров ворожу... отойді я
І лани і гори -
До самого бога
Молитися... а до того
Я не знаю Бога.
Я не знаю Бога.
