Ukraine National Anthem (Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля)
The National anthem of Ukraine ('The glory and freedom of Ukraine has not yet perished')
Слава Україні! Героям слава!
Slava Ukrayini! Heroyam slava!
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes!
About the anthem:
The lyrics constitute a slightly modified version of the first stanza of a patriotic poem written in 1862 by the poet Pavlo Chubynsky, a prominent ethnographer from Kyiv. In 1863, Mykhailo Verbytsky, a western Ukrainian composer and Greek-Catholic priest, composed music to accompany Chubynsky's text.
"Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy i slava, i volia" was officially adopted by Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada (parliament) on 15 January 1992. The official lyrics were adopted on 6 March 2003 by the Law on the Anthem of Ukraine (Закон про Гімн України).
Note: During the creation of this video i noticed that a line of the original lyrics is missing; "Запануєм і ми, браття, у своїй сторонці" (And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our own)
I'm so sorry, I tried to fix it but it always ends up sounding really weird in tone and composition.
I really like this version of the anthem, for me it's really epic, even if it misses a line.
I'm very sorry if you don't like this interpretation, I hope you can forgive me.
