lyrics

"Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy" is the national anthem of Ukraine and means "Glory and Freedom of Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished." The lyric was written in 1862 by the poet Pavlo Chubynsky from Kyiv and Mykhailo Verbytsky set the text to music the following year.

Today, amid Russia’s invasion, the anthem has become a way of expressing solidarity and inspiring courage. In 1922, the anthem was banned by the Soviet regime. Seventy years later, after Ukraine gained its independence, the anthem was adopted by the Ukrainian constitution.

It has become a rallying song against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. People from all over the world have been singing the song in support of the Ukrainian people and their undying spirit.

"Ukraine is not yet dead, nor its glory and freedom.
Luck will still smile on us brother-Ukrainians.
Our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine.
And we, too, brothers, we'll live happily in our land.
We'll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom.
And we'll prove that we brothers are of Kozak kin."
