UZBEK LYRICS

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!

CHORUS: 
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!

CHORUS

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!
Strenght of great people in turbulent times
Made this land the world's joy!

Free, young generations are your mighty wings!
The torch of independence, guardians of peace,
Oh! Worthy motherland, flourish and prosper eternally!

Uzbekistan

Words by:Abdulla Aripov
Music by:Mutal Burhanov
Adopted:1992

When Uzbekistan was a republic of the Soviet Union, it was given its own anthem
to use. Upon independence in 1992, lacking any prior history as a nation or
prior national anthem, the old anthem as a Soviet republic, with new lyrics,
was kept in use.

Special thanks to:Davie H. Y. Wen for the Uzbek lyrics and Jaroslaw Wojcik for
the sheet music.
