This Is Ukraine Lyrics English Translation by Delamer
Denys Melnychuk writes about black jackets turning into camo and brothers who are ‘like blood.’ One line says, ‘We’ve risen from the ashes and smoke, starting from zero,’ capturing the nation’s unbreakable will. The musician uses everyday details like cheap ‘Lada’ cars and Winston cigarettes to ground the story in reality.
Чорні куртки, чорні берциBlack jackets and black combat boots,
в багатьох змінилися на піксельhave turned into pixelated camo for many.
люди стали більш ненависніPeople have grown much more resentful,
до тих хто їм перекриває кисеньtoward those who try to cut off their oxygen.
Депутати п#здять бабкиDeputies are st#aling money,
Лачен пише н#хуй ОПЗЖand Lachen writes, “to h#ll with OPZZh.”
Паша мерс тепер на девʼяткіPasha “Mercedes” is now driving a cheap ‘Lada’,
переборем, все с#че шоблоbut we will overcome this entire wr#tched gang.
This is UkraineThis is Ukraine,
Ukraine, Ukraine, UkraineUkraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.
Yoo say my nameYou say my name,
My name, my name, you knowmy name, my name, you know.
You hear my voiceYou hear my voice,
My voice, my voice, my voicemy voice, my voice, my voice.
Put in “puylo”Put in “p#ylo,”
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala.
Ми тут стільки пережили, тобі стільки не світилоWe’ve survived so much here, you couldn’t even imagine it,
заховайся у нору і не копай собі могилуso hide in your hole and don’t dig your own grave.
ти не вивезеш напругу ніби лезо йде по шкіріYou won’t handle the tension, it feels like a blade on the skin,
твоє тіло вибухає, як шалене харакіріas your body explodes in a frantic self-destruction.
Ти попутав берега, ми тут будем навікаYou’ve completely lost your way, but we will be here forever,
ця країна і монголів і царів пережилаbecause this country has outlived both the Mongols and the Tsars.
ми із попелу і диму піднімалися з нуляWe have risen from the ashes and smoke, starting from zero,
нас століттями ламали але воля ще живаthey tried breaking us for centuries, but our will is still alive.
Брат вже їде жме на газMy brother is already driving, pressing the gas,
місто не спить поки не часthe city won’t sleep until it’s time.
накрути гучніше басTurn up the bass louder,
ми не спинимося – фас!because we won’t stop—attack!
Ми з землі де чорний чорноземWe are from the land where the black soil is rich,
тут палять вінстон чи лмwhere people smoke Winston or L&M.
тут кожен брат, як рідний братHere, every brother is like blood,
ти не патякай, сурікатso don’t run your mouth, you foolish meerkat.

Хрестики на шиї – не про страхThe crosses on our necks aren’t worn out of fear,
Слава Україні – не партак‘Glory to Ukraine’ isn’t just a cheap tattoo,
Збройні сили це авторитетThe Armed Forces command ultimate respect,
Big Respect ДСНСand we send massive respect to the State Emergency Service.
Новий день, новий стиль, нове життяIt’s a new day, a new style, and a new life,
ризик є але я входжу в азартthe risk is real, but I’m fully in the game.
я витягую джокер і 2 тузаI pull out a joker and two aces,
Трамп в ах#ї, в ах#ї з моїх картeven Trump is sh#cked, completely bl#wn away by my cards.
This is UkraineThis is Ukraine,
