Небо над Дніпром [Nebo nad Dniprom] [English translation]

Rhein and Danube and great Volga,

their lines are long.

Dark water and waves so deep,

they are seen miles away.

No matter where I am, I can see you.

What does smoke, tears or walls do to me?

You are always with me! You are my soul,

you are my talisman, my Athena! **

The sky above the Dnieper -

who am I without you?

The sky above the Dnieper -

my blood calls!

Rhein and Danube and great Volga,

I have known them for so long.

How many children strengthen them,

how many secrets they have carried.

I will know your secret though,

I will drink your water alone!

You are always with me! You are my strength,

you are my talisman, my Athena! **

The sky above the Dnieper -

who am I without you?

The sky above the Dnieper -

my blood calls!

The sky above the Dnieper!
