The women of Ukraine
Are women of valor
They can make it rain
When men need a favor
For better or worse
They excel them all
They heed the clarion call
Not one of them balks
They deal in lead
Just like they baked bread
When home was still home
They'll defend
Their own
Against a beast
To the last drop
Of blood n' resist
In their labor of love
For home n' country
As for the love of family
The women of Ukraine
Don't fear pain
Nor seek fame
Like clouds of gray
They were born to reign.
