Happy Independence Day, Ukraine—free because generations have fought and sacrificed for that freedom, and because Ukrainians continue to risk everything to defend it today. 
This song, Taras Petrynenko’s «Україно», became an unofficial anthem in the lead-up to Ukraine’s declaration of independence. It tells of a Ukraine that is beautiful, beloved, and free. 
Ще свічка наша не згоріла,
Ще наша молодість при нас,
А те, чи варте наше діло —
То скажуть люди й скаже час.
