Текст песни Стрілецькі пісні - Коли ми вмирали...

When you were dying, you didn't play the bells,
No one cried for you.
Only in the clear field roared guns,
And the dawn was washed away with tears.

When buried in a dark grave
From blood the earth turned black.
Under the clouds, hooks with flocks flew,
And the storm thundered.

On your graves crosses bent,
Birch bent down.
Sleep, falcons, sons of Ukraine, *
Fallen for freedom, for fate.

Another version of the 3rd stanza:

On your graves crosses bent,
Kalina leaned down.
Sleep falcon eagles, sich archers,
The guns will wake you up again.

Another version of the 3rd stanza:

On your graves crosses bent,
Kalina bent down.
Sleep falcon guys! We sharpen our weapons
And we are waiting for the call: To battle!
