English Translation of my lyrics:

LOVE FOR UKRAINE 

Cities plunged into darkness
So did villages and towns
The earth shook and the sky screamed
As the land turned into battleground
Over there bullets whistle and rockets roar
And here my heart is burning with a sore

I wonder where my friends are
I wish they are safe and sound
The streets I walked as a young man 
have now blood spilled on the ground
Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Kyiv
My heart is full of love abound

Many left everything behind
And many took up arms to fight
This gruesome war and atrocities on this land
May it end soon, Lord
Evil must end and truth must prevail
Thy will be done, Lord! 

Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Kyiv
I love Ukraine!

English Translation of my lyrics:

I LOVE UKRAINE 

Cities plunged into darkness
So did villages and towns
The earth shook and the sky screamed
As the land turned into battleground
Over there bullets whistle and rockets roar
And here my heart is burning with a sore

I wonder where my friends are
I wish they are safe and sound
The streets I walked as a young man 
have now blood spilled on the ground
Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Kyiv
My heart is full of love abound

Many left everything behind
And many took up arms to fight
This gruesome war and atrocities on this land
May this end soon, oh Lord!
Evil must end and truth must prevail
Thy will be done, my Lord! 

Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Kyiv
I love Ukraine!

Украину Люблю
Слова и музыка: Викас Шрестха

Города потемнели
Также и деревни
Дрожала земля, кричали небеса, 
повсюду битвы
Там пули свистят и ракеты ревут,
сердце моё тут горит

Где сейчас друзья мои
Надеюсь все здоровы они  
Улицы моей юности,
Везде кровью залиты 
Львов, Харьков, Одесса, Киев
Сердце вnoлно любви 

За границу бежали тысячи 
Многие за оружие взялись
Ужасная война и зверства на земле 
пусть закончится скорее 
Пусть зло погибнет 
и добро победит 
Да будет воля Твоя, Господи!

Львів, Харків, Одесу, Київ,
Українy люблю!

Украину Люблю
