On a hill a Cossack stood, to God said a prayer,
For true freedom, for his nation, lowly bowing there.
Oysa thou oysa, fear thou not nor worry,
I will never hurt thee, fully I assure thee.
And the Cossack would request justice for his land,
For wherever justice be, freedom is at hand.
For his friends the Cossack prayed, so when far and wide
Gone abroad, they should remain free from greed and pride.
Oysa thou oysa, fear thou not nor worry,
I will never hurt thee, fully I assure thee.
So that wives await, and sires and children too,
Those who seek throughout this world Mother Justice true.
He requested for his people blessings kindly spread,
So in peaceful villages there be salt and bread.
Oysa thou oysa, fear thou not nor worry,
I will never hurt thee, fully I assure thee.
So his father's threshold be tainted not by blood,
So deception live not there, he entreated God.
For his precious homeland thus that Cossack said a prayer
That it be preserved untouched by tears and despair.
Oysa thou oysa, fear thou not nor worry,
I will never hurt thee, fully I assure thee.
On a hill a Cossack stood, to God said a prayer,
For true freedom, for his nation, lowly bowing there.
Oysa thou oysa, fear thou not nor worry,
I will never hurt thee, fully I assure thee.
