We are Rus bound by law and truth (male) (2 version)

We are Rus’ bound by law and truth, Ukraine’s essence, strong in our youth. Great through history and trials we face, Cossacks’ virtue and dignity we embrace. Cathedral of spirit, with Saint Sophia so near, Under the Mother’s protection, we carry no fear. Nurtured by Slavic ancestors’ might, In European lands, under vast skies so bright. On our homeland we proudly stand, No usurper’s rule shall ever command. United we stand, our voices ring true, In the Golden Granary, our dreams renew.
