KAZAKH LYRICS

Altyn kün aslany,
Altyn dän dalasy,
Erlikting dastany,
Elime qarashy!
Ezhelden er degen,
Dangkymyz shyqty ghoy.
Namysyn bermegen,
Qazaghym myqty ghoy!

Mening elim, mening elim,
Güling bolyn egilemin,
Zhyryng bolyn tögilemin, elim!
Tughan zherim mening - Qazaqstanym!

Urlaqqa zhol ashqan,
Keng baytaq zherim bar.
Birligi zharasqan,
Täuelsiz elim bar.
Qarsy alghan yaqytty,
Mänggilik dosynday.
Bizding el baqytty,
Bizding el osynday!

Mening elim, mening elim,
Güling bolyn egilemin,
Zhyryng bolyn tögilemin, elim!
Tughan zherim mening - Qazaqstanym!

Golden sun in heaven,
Golden corn in steppe,
Legend of courage -
It is my land.
In hoary antiquity
Our glory was born,
Proud and strong
Is my Kazakh people

My country, my country,
As your flower I'll grow,
As your song I'll stream, country!
My native land - Kazakhstan! 

I've a boundless expanse
And a way, opened in future.
I have an independent,
United people.
Like an ancient friend
Our happy land,
Our happy people
Is welcoming new time.

Kazakhstan
"Mening Qazaqstanym" (My Kazakhstan)

Words by:Zhumeken Nazhimedenov and Nursultan Nazarbayev
Music by: Shamshi Kaldayakov
Adopted:2006

On January 6, 2006, Kazakhstan replaced the anthem in use since its time as a
Soviet republic (having changed the lyrics upon 1992 independence) with "My
Kazakhstan", a patriotic song written in 1958. The president Nursultan
Nazarbayev revised the lyrics somewhat, thereby making him a co-author of the
anthem.

Special thanks to:Pavel Zinovatny for the English translation, and Davie H. Y.
Wen for the Kazakh (Cyrillic and Latin scripts) and Russian lyrics and for the
MIDI file.
