"Hey, Hey, Rise Up" lyrics

"Hey, Hey, Rise Up"
(feat. Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox)

[Ukrainian:]

Ой у лузі червона калина похилилася
Чогось наша славна Україна зажурилася
А ми тую червону калину підіймемо
А ми нашу славну Україну, хей, хей, розвеселимо
А ми нашу славну Україну, хей, хей, розвеселимо

(Хей, хей)

Ой у лузі червона калина похилилася
Чогось наша славна Україна зажурилася
А ми тую червону калину підіймемо
А ми нашу славну Україну, хей, хей, розвеселимо
А ми нашу славну Україну, хей, хей, розвеселимо

[Romanized:]

Oy u luzi chervona kalyna pokhylylasya
Chohos' nasha slavna Ukrayina zazhurylasya
A my tuyu chervonu kalynu pidiymemo
A my nashu Slavnu Ukrayinu, hey, hey, rozveselymo
A my nashu Slavnu Ukrayinu, hey, hey, rozveselymo

(Hey, hey)

Oy u luzi chervona kalyna pokhylylasya
Chohos' nasha slavna Ukrayina zazhurylasya
A my tuyu chervonu kalynu pidiymemo
A my nashu Slavnu Ukrayinu, hey, hey, rozveselymo
A my nashu Slavnu Ukrayinu, hey, hey, rozveselymo

[English translation:]

Oh, in the meadow a red viburnum has bent down low
For some reason, our glorious Ukraine is in sorrow
And we'll take that red viburnum and we will raise it up
And we shall cheer for our glorious Ukraine, hey, hey
And we shall cheer for our glorious Ukraine, hey, hey

(Hey, hey)

Oh, in the meadow a red viburnum has bent down low
For some reason, our glorious Ukraine is in sorrow
And we'll take that red viburnum and we will raise it up
And we shall cheer for our glorious Ukraine, hey, hey
And we shall cheer for our glorious Ukraine, hey, hey
