Lyrics

Current version

On 21 February 2013, the Parliament of Tatarstan unanimously approved lyrics written by Baytimerov. The final lyrics of the anthem is based on the poem «Туган ягым» ('Native Land') by Ramazan Baytimerov, as is known from a story written by him in the 1970s. Many unknown authors took part in the revision of the poems. Baytimerov's poems inspired the composer Röstäm Yaxin to compose a song, the melody of which became the national anthem of Tatarstan in 1993. The new lyrics of the anthem consists of the first two verses sung in Tatar, followed by two verses sung in Russian. The lyrics were translated into Russian by Assyrian-Russian poet Filipp Pirayev.^[4][5]

Original version

The original proposed lyrics of the anthem, titled "Tuğan yağım" (lit. 'My Native Country'), was written by Ramazan Baytimerov in the 1970s. The text was subsequently translated into Russian by Marsel Sabirov. During that time, Röstäm Yaxin was inspired to composed music that eventually became the national anthem. The Russian version, however, was not adopted.^[2]

English translation

Сколько дорог я прошел, весь мир обойдя, Нежный ветер ласкал мое лицо любя, 𝄆 Но только придя к тебе Родная земля, Грудь сжалась, место радости не найдя… 𝄇 В один день даже если будет разлука, Грусть по тебе это сплошная мука, 𝄆 Без тебя, о Родная земля, Нет жизни, без тебя — нет меня… 𝄇 В один день даже если будет разлука, Я как будто словно сирота! 𝄆 Лишь ты мой смысл жизни, Лишь ты яркий свет отчизны 𝄇

Of many roads I’ve traveled around the world, Gentle winds caressed my face. 𝄆 But only with thee, my native land, I am otherwise joyless… 𝄇 For just one day I am away, I miss thee with all my sadness. 𝄆 Without thee, my land so dear, The world is seemingly lifeless… 𝄇 For just one day I am away, I feel like an orphan. 𝄆 Only thou art my meaning of this life; The vivid ray of this world endless… 𝄇
