October 11, 2022 – March of the New Army is a Ukrainian nationalist song and march adapted from the song “March of Ukrainian Nationalists” also known as “We Were Born in a Great Hour” by Oles Babiy.
The modern March of the New Army was presented on the eve of Ukrainian Volunteer Day in 2017.
The performance of March of the New Army presented in this video was by Ukrainian vocalist Oleg Skrypka. The footage presented is extracted from the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Military Footage Archive, The Sun, and The Telegraph.
This song honors the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who fought and died during the War in Donbass.
This song and video is a tribute to the brave defenders of their motherland in the Ukraine, to all those soldiers, known and unknown, who die so that their nation may live strong, sovereign, and free.
English lyrics:
We were born of the great hour,
From the fires of war, and the flames of fire,
We were nurtured for the fate of Ukraine,
We were angered by anger and rage against enemies.
We go into battle with a triumphant march,
Solid, strong, unbreakable, like granite,
For crying hasn’t given freedom to anyone yet,
But whoever is a fighter, he gains peace.
The great essence for all is uniform,
Our proud call to the people still sounds:
“Be faithful without cease to the Fatherland,
For us, Ukraine is above all else”!
The battle of the heroes of our glory is where we head
And this highest order we shall fulfill –
“For a united and independent Ukrainian nation
From the San to the Kavkaz, forever strong!”
