Lyrics Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors - English Version - Alina Pash

Trembitas are crying for my land
That for centuries we needed to defend
And our deepest roots called for our names
And mother Kyivan Rus screamed for our faith

We cannot forget those who been building our home
We cannot forgive those who came here just to destroy
They're trying to delete our language and our culture code
But in Ukraine live people with the bravest souls

Гей, вийди доле із води, із води
Визволь моє серденько з біди, ой біди
Come out from the water, destiny, destiny
All my sisters (all my sisters)
All my brothers (all my brothers)
Give the drop that all we need!

Тіні забутих предків моїх і твоїх
В літописах, серцях, очах, крові віків навік
Shadows of forgotten ancestors, a-a-a-a-a
In chronicles, hearts and eyes, in our blood forever

I'm a girl from a small town
My Motherland gave me the wisdom
My folks are fighting for freedom
Like "one for all, and all for one"
Nowadays, Dante would've written The Divine Tragedy
But we need the dove with olive tree, it's the divine strategy
I'm standing here for those who honestly gave their hearts, their lives
Like Shevchenko, Ukrainka, Khvyliovyi
Like all those people I'll leave behind a piece of me
Let's remember our ancestors, but write our own history

Тіні забутих предків моїх і твоїх
В літописах, серцях, очах, крові віків навік
Shadows of forgotten ancestors, a-a-a-a-a
In chronicles, hearts and eyes, in our blood forever

Тіні забутих предків моїх і твоїх
В літописах, серцях, очах, крові віків навік
Shadows of forgotten ancestors, a-a-a-a-a
In chronicles, hearts and eyes, in our blood forever
