Encyclopedia > Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy
Mykhaylo Verbytsky, composer

"Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy" (Ukrainian: Ще не вмерла України, or "Ukraine's glory has not perished" - literally "Has not died Ukraine's...") is the national anthem of Ukraine. The lyrics constitute a slightly modified original first stanza of the patriotic poem written in 1862 by Pavlo Chubynsky, a prominent ethnographer from the region of Ukraine's capital, Kiev. In 1863, Mykhaylo Verbytsky, a western Ukrainian composer and a Greek-Catholic priest composed music to accompany Chubynsky's text[1]. The first choral performance of the piece was at the Ukraine Theatre in Lviv, in 1864[2].

Lyrics

On March 6, 2003, the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) of Ukraine adopted the following lyrics, which slightly modified the first stanza of Chubynsky's original words. Instead of stating "Ukraine has not perished, neither her glory, nor her freedom", the concept of Ukraine perishing as a nation has been removed: the opening line now states "Ukraine's hasn't perished, and her glory, and her freedom".[3]. Nevertheless, many people continue to sing the original lyrics. March 6 is the 65th day of the year (66th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Verkhovna Rada. ...

Ukrainian English transliteration English translation

Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля,
Ще нам, браття молодії, усміхнеться доля.
Згинуть наші вороженьки, як роса на сонці.
Запануєм і ми, браття, у своїй сторонці.


CHORUS x2
Душу й тіло ми положим за нашу свободу,
І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду.

Shche ne vmerla Ukrayiny i slava, i volya,
Shche nam, brattia molodii, usmikhnet'sia dolia.
Z-hynut' nashi vorizhen'ky, yak rosa na sontsi,
Zapanuyem i my, brattia, u svoyiy storontsi.


CHORUS x2
Dushu y tilo my polozhym za nashu svobodu
I pokazhem, shcho my, brattia, kozats'koho rodu.

Ukraine's glory has not perished, nor her freedom
Upon us, fellow compatriots, fate shall smile once more.
Our enemies will vanish, like dew in the morning sun,
And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our own.


CHORUS x2
We'll lay down our souls and bodies to attain our freedom,
And we'll show that we, brothers, are of the Cossack nation.

Ukrainian English transliteration English translation

Ще не вмерла Україна, ні слава, ні воля,
Ще нам, браття-українці, усміхнеться доля.
Згинуть наші вороженьки, як роса на сонці,
Заживемо і ми, браття, у своїй сторонці.


CHORUS
Душу й тіло ми положим за нашу свободу
І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду.


Станем браття, в бій кривавий, від Сяну до Дону
В ріднім краю панувати не дамо ні кому.
Чорне море ще всміхнеця, дід Дніпро зрадіє,
Ще на нашій Україні доленька наспіє.


CHORUS


А завзятта праця щира свого ще докаже,
Ще ся волі в Україні піснь гучна розляже.
За Карпати відіб'ється, згомонить степами,
України слава стане поміж народами.


CHORUS

Shche ne vmerla Ukrayina, ni slava, ni volya,

Zapanuyem i my, brattia, u svoyiy storontsi.

Dushu y tilo my polozhym za nashu svobodu
I pokazhem, shcho my, brattia, kozats'koho rodu.


Stanem brattia, v biy kryvavy, vid Sianu do Donu
V ridnim kraiu panuvaty ne damo ni komu.
Chorne more shche vsmikhnetsia, did Dnipro zradiye,
Shche na nashiy Ukrayini dolen'ka naspiye.


CHORUS


A zavziatta pratsia shchyra svoho shche dokazhe,
Shche sia voli v Ukrayini pisn' huchna rozliazhe.
Za Karpaty vidibiet'tsia z-homonyt' stepamy,
Ukrayiny slava stane pomizh narodamy.


CHORUS

Ukraine has not perished, neither her glory, nor freedom,
Upon us, fellow--Ukrainians, fate shall smile once more.
Our enemies will vanish, like dew in the morning sun,
And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our own.


CHORUS
We'll lay down our souls and bodies to attain our freedom,
And we'll show that we, brothers, are of the Cossack nation.


We'll stand together for freedom, from the Sian to the Don,
We will not allow others to rule in our motherland.
The Black Sea will smile and grandfather Dnipro will rejoice,
For in our own Ukraine fortune shall flourish again.

Our persistence and our sincere toils will be rewarded,
And freedom's song will resound throughout all of Ukraine.

Ukraine's fame and glory will be known among all nations.
