National Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: O`zbekiston Respublikasining Davlat Madhiyasi) came into being when Uzbekistan was a republic of the Soviet Union. Upon independence in 1991, lacking any prior history as a nation or prior national anthem, the old anthem as a Soviet republic, composed by Mutal Burhanov, was retained, but new lyrics by Abdulla Aripov were written.

[edit] Uzbek lyrics (Latin script)

Serquyosh, hur o‘lkam, elga baxt, najot,

Sen o‘zing do‘stlarga yo‘ldosh, mehribon!

Yashnagay to abad ilmu fan, ijod,

Shuhrating porlasin toki bor jahon!

Oltin bu vodiylar - jon O‘zbekiston,

Ajdodlar mardona ruhi senga yor!

Ulug‘ xalq qudrati jo‘sh urgan zamon,

Olamni mahliyo aylagan diyor!

Bag‘ri keng o‘zbekning o‘chmas iymoni,

Erkin, yosh avlodlar senga zo‘r qanot!

Istiqlol mash’ali, tinchlik posboni,

Haqsevar, ona yurt, mangu bo‘l obod!

Oltin bu vodiylar - jon O‘zbekiston,

Ajdodlar mardona ruhi senga yor!

Ulug‘ xalq qudrati jo‘sh urgan zamon,

Olamni mahliyo aylagan diyor!

[edit] English translation

Stand tall, my free country, good fortune and salvation to you,

You yourself a companion to friends, Oh! Loving one!

Flourish, Oh! Creator of eternal knowledge and science,

May your fame for ever shine bright!

These valleys are golden - my dear Uzbekistan,

Our forefathers' manly spirits your companion!

Strength of great people in turbulent times

Made this land the world's joy!

Oh! Generous Uzbek, your faith will not fade,

Free, young generations are your mighty wings!

The torch of independence, guardians of peace,

Oh! Worthy motherland, flourish and prosper eternally!

These valleys are golden - my dear Uzbekistan,

Our forefathers' manly spirits your companion!

Strength of great people in turbulent times

Made this land the world's joy!
