Listen to the song

There is no other road to go

While Milky Way burns in the sky.

I’m so lucky to explore

Your golden paths in fields of rye.

There is no other way to love you

And you will always be in bloom.

It’s worth to live and coming back to,

My country I belong to you!

Refrain:

My Ukraine, my dear country,

After road which always bends

Faithful heart that’s full of loving

I’m commending to your hands.

Our love is strong like never was it

And aspiration never dies.

We’ll burn with our emotions

Another thousands of hearts.

Our candles are burning still somehow

And youth is a preference of us

The things we’re doing here and now

The time and people will discuss
