The national and state anthem of Vinalia is known by several names. Most prominently as the Chkonia anthem. The anthem dates back to 1861 when it was composed by Devletko Chkonia as a rallying cry by the Vinalian revolutionaries.

It was a popular song, although ultimately it was not selected to serve as the anthem of the First Vinalian Republic, in favor of The blood of our motherland by Svyatoslav Pyatov. It was still popular, and some of its lyrics were incorporated in a 1903 revision of the lyrics. Although the second remained mostly unknown outside of political circles. It was a runner up for the anthem for the People's Republic of Vinalia in 1936, however it was not selected. In the lead up to Vinalian Reunification, it was opted to use the Chkonia anthem rather than the previous republican anthem, as issues regarding the previous anthems length, and lyrics were brought up. Along with connections to the previous Second Republic, which the new government sought to not continue, it joined a drive for new "unified" symbols in a flag, coat of arms, and finally anthem. With a new revision of lyrics by Heorhiy Hornicky, and Katrin Movomedska, in 1993 along with a rename. It was adopted on July 12, 1994, where it was first played in the National Auditorium in Velkarichka.

Soravian original
I Ще не вмерла України ні слава, ні воля, Ще нам, браття-українці, усміхнеться доля. Згинуть наші вороженьки, як роса на сонці. Запануєм і ми, браття, у своїй сторонці.
Chorus 1 Приспів:

Душу й тіло ми положим за нашу свободу,

II

І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду.

Станем браття, в бій кривавий, від Сяну до Дону В ріднім краю панувати не дамо нікому. Чорне море ще всміхнеться, дід Дніпро зрадіє, Ще на нашій Україні доленька наспіє.
Chorus II Приспів. А завзяття, праця щира свого ще докаже, Ще ся волі в Україні піснь гучна розляже.
'III За Карпати відіб’ється, згомонить степами, України слава стане поміж народами.
Chorus III Приспів.

Estmerish translation
I Happy Vinalia...! your freedom has not yet perished, nor has her glory, Free to the wind, your beautiful flag To victory or death it will call.

Chorus I Free to the wind, your beautiful flag To victory or death it will call.

II Still upon us, young brothers, fate shall smile. Our enemies shall vanish, like dew in the sun. We too shall rule, brothers, in our country. United under one common flag, We are free, we are united,

Chorus 2 United under one common flag, We are free, we are united,

III Asterian bird that lives in your shield, Palladium that protects your land May it take its flight

Chorus 3 May it take its flight Vinalia, your immortal name!
