Native Homeland Poem by Natalia Kravchenko

in one's native language of singing songs
as mom's song still sounds and today
ukrainian words to write verses
as dad's words melody sounds
let the peace and friendship unite everyone
and ringing for children's carefree laughter


our mother of Ukraine from mother to son
our father of Ukraine from father to daughter
our native land is fed by Ukraine
Native Homeland you're the only one
as parents alone


everything is familiar to us: the green forests
here to make noise boundless steppes
there is clearer for sun is shining in the sky
there are the lakes, the rivers road lie
between them mountains were high stand
let will connect Earth forever


our mother of Ukraine from mother to son
our father of Ukraine from father to daughter
our native land is fed by Ukraine
Native Homeland you're the only one
as parents alone


our land is still alive
it's native home, where comfort and family
once we went on it barefoot
where our childhood, youth took place on it
this path originates from family
long live our free Ukraine


our mother of Ukraine from mother to son
our father of Ukraine from father to daughter
our native land is fed by Ukraine
Native Homeland you're the only one
as parents alone
