State Anthem of Ukraine

"Sce ne vmerla Ukraina" (), known in English as "Nay, Thou Art Not Dead, Ukraine", is the national anthem of Ukraine.
The anthem is played in a minor key.
History
Before "Sce ne vmerla Ukraina" was the country's national anthem, this song was originally a 19th-century poem written by a poet named Paul Chubin. A Catholic priest named Michael Werbitzky liked his poem, so he composed a tune for it. The song was published for the first time in 1863, and in the following year, it was performed for the first time in the city of Lviv. It was first recorded in 1916 during the First World War.
In the early 20th century, this song lifted the spirits of many Ukrainians, as they had longed for their territories be completely independent from the Russian Empire, Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. Because of this, "Sce ne vmerla Ukraina" became the national anthem of the country, which was then first known as Carpatho-Ukraine, which then became the Ukrainian People's Republic, and then the West Ukrainian People's Republic. Afterwards, the Soviets invaded the territory of Ukraine. Not only that, the Soviets banned the Ukrainian national anthem. Instead, the Soviet-era anthem was adopted. After decades of oppression by the Soviet Union, "Sce ne vmerla Ukraina" became the national anthem again, and remains so to this day.
Since 1992, the parliament Verchovna Rada readopted the national anthem after the fall of the USSR. The lyrics, which have been changed a bit, were adopted in 2003 by the Law on the Anthem of Ukraine.
Lyrics
The words of "Sce ne vmerla Ukraina" reminds the Ukrainian people about the struggles they have endured for becoming independent. When the country became freshly independent from Russia in late 1991, the national anthem was sung when Leonid Kravcuk was becoming president. After some changes to the original words, the anthem was made official on 6 March 2003, and Article 20 of the Constitution of Ukraine made the tune for the national anthem officiall on 28 June 1996.

Esperanto
A poetic version in Esperanto was translated by Viktor Jaskovec and Volodymyr Pacjurko in 1991.
Ne jam mortis Ukrajnio, nek liber', nek gloro,
Kaj ankorau al ni, fratoj, venos sortfavoro.
Kvazau ros' sub sun' pereos malamikoj fiaj,
Tiam, fratoj, ni ekmastros Patrolandon nian.
Niajn korojn ni oferu sur liberaltaron,
Pruvu, fratoj, ke ni estas la kozakidaro!
Original version from 1863
Unofficial lyrics from 1992 to 2003
Between 1992 and 2003, the Ukrainian national anthem was only an instrumental anthem and did not contain official lyrics; although, lyrics had been proposed for it. This was done in a similar manner to "Marcha Real", the national anthem of Spain, which currently has no official lyrics.
