so, yea, i don't find english words. Anyway, here in my native(translation word to word in round breaks):
Квіти травня чути, пахнуть, Цвіт життя до нас іде. Десь, в степу могили в'януть, Їх ніхто вже не збире. (The flowers of May are heard and scented) (Bloom of life is going to us) (Somewhere in a step graves are withering) (and noone will gather them)
Знов красива нічка ясна, Знов співають солов'ї. І країна моя красна, І уста мої німі. (Again bright night is beautiful) (Again nightingales sing) (And the my country is beautiful) (And the lips my closed)
Онімілії від сліз, Від чужих, моїх – немає. Чути гомін тупих кіс, Знову смерть врожай збирає. (They shut by tears) (By the others, my are dry) (The clattering of blunt scythes can heard) (Again death gathering harvest)
Сонце світить, кури ллють, Квіти поле сіють. Чиїсь сини знову пруть, Чиїсь – знову гинуть (the sun is shining, rain is going) (Flowers growing up) (Someone's sons are invading) (Someone's die opposite)
