In support of Ukraine, her culture, and all those sacrificing everything to be free

lyrics

1. Ой місяцю, місяченьку
Срібло-лиций стороженьку
Що сторожеш ти?
Я сторожу тиху нічку
Гай і поле, ліс і річку
І сільські хати

1. Oh moon, dear moon
Silver-faced watchman
What do you guard?
I watch over the quiet night
Groves and fields, woods and rivers
And the village homes

2. Ой місяцю, місяченьку
Срібло-лиций стороженьку
Хто спить в тих хатках?
Там сплять діти
В постільочках
Сон цілує їх по очах
Ходять мрії в снах

2. Oh moon, dear moon
Silver-faced watchman
Who sleeps in those homes?
There sleep children
In their little beds
Sleep kisses their eyes
Dreams walk in their sleep

3. Ой місяцю, місяченьку
Срібло-лиций стороженьку
Про що мрії ті?
Про край рідний
Край єдиний
Про майбутність України
Снять діти малі

3. Oh moon, dear moon
Silver-faced watchman
Of what do they dream?
Of the dear land,
Their homeland
And the future of Ukraine
These are the children’s dreams

4. Ой місяцю, місяченьку
Срібло-лиций стороженьку
Чи здійсняться сни?
Стануть діти підростати
Україні помагати
І здійсняться сни

4. Oh moon, dear moon
Silver-faced watchman
Will the dreams come to pass?
As the children grow
And help their country
So their dreams will come to pass
