My buduvaly komunizm, ale v nas ne vyishlo,
Vmerly koni, zalyshylosya chervone dyshlo.
Babu buduvaly z velycheznym mechom,
A prozektor perestroyky chtos' pobyv kirpichom.

Pryspiv:
My zvykly, shcho Dnipro revuchyi reve,
A nenka Ukrayina shche ne vmerla i ne vmre.
My nanyuchalys' svobody i chornobyls'koho dymu,
Chorom radisno spivayem: "Shche ne vmerla Ukrayina!"

Nam kazaly vpered, dva shaha nazad
I my zahnaly sebe u velycheznyi zad.
Napylysya pepsi, napylysya koly,
My takoyi svobodyshche ne znaly nikoly.

Pryspiv

Chtos' plakav pro svoyu vtrachenu hordist',
A vnochi chovav, zakopuvav sovist'.
Nas zavela v nikuda derzavna koliya,
My pomrem, vony napyshut': "Nas yednaye zemlya!"
