Oyu luzi Chervona Kalyna

Pokhylylasya

Chohos nasha Slavna Ukrayina

Zazhurylasya

 

(Chorus)

A mi tuyu Chervonu Kalynu

Pidiymemo

A mi nashu, Slavnu Ukrayinu

Hey! Hey! Rozveselymo!

 

(Verse)

In the meadow, the Red Kalyna

Has been bent down low

For some reason, our glorious Ukraine

Has been worried so

 

(Chorus)

And we’ll take the Red Kalyna

And we’ll raise it up

And we, our glorious Ukraine, shall

Hey! Hey! Rise up and rejoice!
