The wheat fields represent the wealth and fertility of the Ukrainian nation. Ukrainian original: Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля, Ще нам, браття молодії, усміхнеться доля. Згинуть наші воріженьки, як роса на сонці. Запануєм і ми, браття, у своїй сторонці. Душу й тіло ми положим за нашу свободу, І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду. English translation: Ukraine's glory and freedom/will have not yet perished, Still upon us, young brothers, fate shall smile. Our enemies shall vanish, like dew in the sun. We too shall rule, brothers, in our country. Soul and body shall we lay down for our freedom, And we will show, that we, brothers, are of Cossack descent. The national and state anthem of Ukraine is known by: its official edition's first line "Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy i slava, i volia", Ukrainian: Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля, Ukrainian pronunciation: [ʃt͡ʃɛ ne ˈwmɛrɫɑ ukrɑˈjinɪ i ˈsɫɑʋɑ i ˈʋɔlʲɐ], lit. 'Ukraine's glory and freedom/will have not yet perished'; its original title "Shche ne vmerla Ukraina", Ukrainian: Ще не вмерла Україна, Ukrainian pronunciation: [ʃt͡ʃɛ ne ˈwmɛrɫɑ ukrɑˈjinɑ], lit. 'Ukraine has not yet perished'; and its official designation of the State anthem of Ukraine, Ukrainian: Державний гімн України, Derzhavnyi himn Ukrainy. It is one of the state symbols of the country. The lyrics constitute a slightly modified version of the first verse and chorus of the patriotic song "Shche ne vmerla Ukraina", written in 1862 by Pavlo Chubynskyi, a prominent ethnographer from Kyiv. In 1863, Mykhailo Verbytskyi, a Ukrainian composer and Greek Catholic priest, composed music to accompany Chubynskyi's lyrics. The first choral public performance of the piece was in 1864 at the Ruska Besida Theatre in Lviv. In the first half of the 20th century, during unsuccessful attempts to gain independence and create a state from the territories of the Russian Empire, Poland, and Austria-Hungary, the song was the national anthem of the Ukrainian People's Republic, the West Ukrainian People's Republic, and Carpatho-Ukraine. A competition was held for a national anthem following Ukraine's secession from the Soviet Union, with one of the songs being "Za Ukrainu" (lit. 'For Ukraine') by the Ukrainian writer and actor Mykola Voronyi. "Shche ne vmerla Ukraina" was officially adopted by Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada (parliament) on 15 January 1992. The official lyrics were adopted on 6 March 2003 by the Law on the State anthem of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Закон «Про Державний гімн України»). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...
