Real Ukrainians

By VOLODYMYR KRAVCHUK - December 4 2023
Real Ukrainians
Сміливі, як українці.
Незламні, як українці.
Терплячі, як українці.
Мудрі, як українці.

Турботливі і відважні,
Бо воля із крил свободи,
Безмежні і обережні,
Величні своїм народом.

Сильні, як українці.
Нескорені й непокірні.
В світі не наодинці.
Люблячі. Чесні. Вірні.

Будьте, як українці.
Вічні і неосяжні.
Будьте, як українці…
Справжні.
Brave, like Ukrainians strong and true,
Indomitable, like Ukrainians do,
Patient, as Ukrainians wear,
Wise, like Ukrainians, beyond compare.

Caring and valiant, their spirits ignite,
For freedom’s wings in their flight,
Boundless and cautious, they stand tall,
Majestic with their people, united overall.

Strong, like Ukrainians, fierce and bold,
Unyielding, with a spirit untold,
In the world, they’re never alone,
Loving, honest, and faithful to the bone.

Be like Ukrainians, let your light shine,
Eternal and unreachable, divine,
True to yourself, in every deal.
Be like Ukrainians, grand and real!
