Orchestra warming up Applause Intense music, but slow Pastoral music <sung in Ukranian> And there was an ancient battle on the river Wide River Deep water There we cut down fierce enemies fierce enemies, a mighty army Oh, how we fought, how we battled!

Oh, we broke the ships to pieces We spilled our crimson blood Yes, for the sacred ground of our home, The axe went, there stood a street.

And where the spear flew, there was an alley.

Oh, we mowed down fierce enemies, Like soft grass on dry land.

Let’s defend our fatherland.

Whoever goes against us it will be death to him.

Oh, the people rose up against the enemies; Rise up for battle, my glorious country.

Who lies cut down by swords, Who lies wounded by an arrow, They drank the pure blood of their righteous land Their native land Who in battle fell a warrior’s death, I kiss his deathly eyes, And to that knight who survived, I will become a wife, faithful, harmonious.

I will not marry a handsome man, Earthly beauty is fleeting.

I will choose the brave.

Speak up, bright falcons!

<Sung in Ukrainian> The people went out to a great battle, The enemy was defeated by our country There will be no enemies on the sacred land.

Whoever goes against us - death to him.

Rejoice, sing, native land!

There will be no enemies on this sacred land, Do not give them our native villages.

Whoever goes against us - will be death to him.

Do not give them our native villages.

Whoever goes against us - will be death to him.

There will be no enemies on this land, on this sacred land.

There will be no enemies on this land, on this sacred land.

Rejoice, sing, native land!

There will be no enemies on this sacred land.

Rejoice, sing, native land!

Rejoice, everyone, The people have gathered for a big celebration.

Rejoice, everyone, Rejoice, everyone, be glad!
