Hej Sokoły

Hey, somewhere from above the black water
A young Cossack mounts his horse
Tenderly says goodbye to the girl
Even more tenderly to Ukraine

Hey, hey, hey falcons
Avoid the mountains, forests, and valleys
Ring, ring, ring little bell
My steppe skylark

Hey, hey, hey falcons
Avoid the mountains, forests, and valleys
Ring, ring, ring little bell
My steppe
Ring, ring, ring

There are many girls in the world
But most in Ukraine
There my heart remained
With my beloved girl

Hey, hey, hey falcons
Avoid the mountains, forests, and valleys
Ring, ring, ring little bell
My steppe skylark

Hey, hey, hey falcons
Avoid the mountains, forests, and valleys
Ring, ring, ring little bell
My steppe
Ring, ring, ring

Sorrow, sorrow for the girl
For the green Ukraine
Sorrow, sorrow, the heart cries
I won't see her anymore

Hey, hey, hey falcons
Avoid the mountains, forests, and valleys
Ring, ring, ring little bell
My steppe skylark

Hey, hey, hey falcons
Avoid the mountains, forests, and valleys
Ring, ring, ring little bell
My steppe
Ring, ring, ring

Wine, wine, give me wine
And when I die, bury me
On the green Ukraine
Next to my beloved girl

Hey, hey, hey falcons
Avoid the mountains, forests, and valleys
Ring, ring, ring little bell
My steppe skylark

Hey, hey, hey falcons
Avoid the mountains, forests, and valleys
Ring, ring, ring little bell
My steppe skylark

Hey, hey, hey falcons
Avoid the mountains, forests, and valleys
Ring, ring, ring little bell
My steppe
Ring, ring, ring
