A mnohaya lita (Ukrainian: Многая літа, lit. '"Many years"' or the implied meaning "Wishing you many years of life") is a traditional Ukrainian celebratory song. The song is based on both the Greek: Εις πολλά έτη, romanized: Eis polla etē, lit. '"Many Years to You"' and on the Byzantine Rite polychronion (from the Church Slavonic: мъногаꙗ лѣта, romanized: mŭnogaja lěta) or the hierarchical acclamation Ton Despotin, which is normally sung at the end of church services.
