[Verse] Where the coal veins run so deep And the winds whisper secrets they keep A land of steel Of stone Of fire Dreams rise high Higher than the spire
[Chorus] Oh The heart of Donbas It beats It beats Through the smoke and the dust Through the broken streets Oh The heart of Donbas It never fades Strong as the earth Where its soul is laid
[Verse 2] Echoes of miners Their songs still remain Through the tunnels of time Through struggle and pain Fields that bloom with blood and sweat A spirit unbroken Never forget
[Prechorus] Even when the shadows fall The heart will stand The heart stands tall
[Chorus] Oh The heart of Donbas It beats It beats Through the smoke and the dust Through the broken streets Oh The heart of Donbas It never fades Strong as the earth Where its soul is laid
[Bridge] Mountains may crumble Rivers may dry But the heart of Donbas touches the sky Its voice will echo Its story will stay A flame in the darkness Lighting the way
