Razom nas bahato

"Razom nas bahato" (Ukrainian: «Разом нас багато», romanizedˈrɑzom ˈnɑz bɐˈɦɑto, lit.'Together we are many') is a hip hop song by GreenJolly, which became the unofficial anthem of the Ukrainian Orange Revolution in 2004. The literal translation of the chorus line is "Together we are many, we cannot be defeated" (Ukrainian: Разом нас багато, нас не подолати, romanized: Razom nas bahato, nas ne podolaty).

The song deliberately resembles a title of a famous Chilean song of Quilapayún used by the Unidad Popular, "El pueblo unido jamás será vencido" ("The people united will never be defeated"), written by composer Sergio Ortega.

The original song was entirely in Ukrainian, and was written specifically to refer to the 2004 presidential election, even going so far as to name Presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko by name.

The song represented Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. As a requirement of the song contest rules, forbidding direct political references, lyrics mentioning Yuschenko were removed. The verses were rewritten to include both Ukrainian and English lyrics, while the chorus' sentence "Razom nas bahato" was repeated in eight languages: Ukrainian, Polish, German, Spanish, Czech, French and Russian.

A group of Polish rappers created a remix of "Razom nas bahato" entitled "Jest nas wielu", that became popular in Poland.
