Tell us about the song!
As many would have expected, ‘Незламна’ (Unbreakable) deals about the current war Ukraine is facing because of the Russian attacks. The song wants to give hope to the Ukrainian people that they are unbreakable and that god is on their side.
The ballad has got a philosophical approach, asking questions such as “Why is my generation dying young in this war?”, showing how brutal and unnecessary people are dying because of crual decisions.

Sing along to 'Незламна': Lyrics
Ukrainian/English
English translation
God, there is a question. Only one question. How much will it be? If only your plans were known Who would heal the wounds of all innocent people Oh God, your children
Drop by drop, our time is running out Stone upon stone The enemy has not left us But someone will defeat him Ooo no-no-no my will is unbreakable
Ooo no-no-no I did not rush to anyone And never no-no-no I did not betray my sea From pain and speaking I am so strong I am so free, I am so close
God, I have one question Why my generation dying young in this war? But you can save our world, my Lord
It’s as if our time is running through our fingers, Shadows on the walls disappear, the Enemy is disappearing among us, but we will overcome it Ooo no-no-no my will is unbreakable
Ooo no-no-no I did not rush to anyone And never no-no-no I did not betray my sea From pain and speaking I am so strong I am so free, I am so close
I will stand by the Wall, keep the peace of the world, forget about fatigue. Believe, fight, go into the unknown. Know that you accept these battles for yourself at home. The truth is calling from you. No-no-no, my will is unbreakable
No-no-no, do not betray my sea Oh, no-no-no, our will is unbreakable You know, oh God We will be salt, we will be free We will change We will be salt, we will be free We will change
