National Anthem of Uzbekistan
The State Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: Oʻzbekiston Respublikasining Davlat
Madhiyasi) uses the same melody as the anthem of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist
Republic, composed by Mutal Burhonov in 1947, when the country was a republic
of the Soviet Union. After Uzbekistan gained independence from the Soviet
Union, new lyrics by Uzbek poet Abdulla Oripov were adopted.
The Law “On the National Anthem of the Republic of
Uzbekistan” was adopted on December 10, 1992 at the eleventh session of
the Supreme Council of the Republic of Uzbekistan. My sunny free land,
happiness and salvation to your people, You are a warmhearted companion to your
friends, to your friends
National Anthem
(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,
Xaqsevar, ona yurt, mangu bo’l obod!
Chorus
(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!
CHORUS:
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!
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!
