Ballad of the Ukraine

When my Despair will be ruined by Hope
There blows Steppe Wind and I'm filled with Grace
And I'm happy with your name, Sweet Home!
And I'm in sorrow when I forget your face...

     I recall... blue skies and yellow fields
      I recall your dusty roads and flowered hills
       All your fields of yellow wheat and rye,
        All your seas... of blue and dreamy sky

        I recall... your blue Carpathian hills
       I recall... your edgeless harving Fields
      All your birches... and wedges of your cranes
     I love you... my Russia-and-Ukraine!

When thunder lightnings blaze in Faraway
When there goes scilence of SkyWay
I bless your enemies I curse'em by your Name
I curse your friends I bless'em by the same

     I recall... your fields of yellow rye
      I recall... your blue and birdy sky
       Your blond-yellow hair... and your blue eyes -
        Your blue skies... and yellow WHEATS and RYES

        I recall... your BEAUTY and your WRINKLES...
       In your yellowseas I sailed with my ship-wings 
      I LOVE your SkyFields, I love both YOU and them! 
     Et je t'aime, Ukraine. Je t'aime, Russie. Je t'aime!

When Skies above are broken by the Swords
Your Name will stay with... Even if you'd leave
Your Name. Your beauty. You're my Heaven Worlds.
Your Name... For which I die. For which I live!

     I recall... your looks, your smiles, your hands
      I recall... my sweetheart Motherlands 
       We will be! Again together, me and you.
        I love U... Ukraine-and-Russia. I love YOU! 

        And we ARE the one! United! Don't you see!?
       Et je t'aime, Ukraine. Je t'aime, ma chere Russie.
      You're mine! Ukraine-and-Russia. You're my pain... 
     Mais je t'aime, Russie. Je t'aime, ma chere Ukraine.
