Zharalghan namystan qaharman khalyqpyz

Azattyk zholynda zhalyndap zhanypyz
Tagdyrdin tezinen, tozaktyn (o-umlaut)zinen
Aman-saw kalyppyz, aman-saw kalyppyz


CHORUS
Erkindik kyrany, sharykta
Eldikke shakyryp tirlikte!
Alyptyn kuaty - khalykta,
Khalyktyn kuaty - birlikte!


Ardaktan anasyn, kyrmetten danasyn,
Bauyrga baskanbyz barshanyn balasyn.
Tatulyk dostyktyn kieli besigi!
Meyirban Uly Otan, Kazakhtyn dalasy!


CHORUS


Talaydy otkerdin, otkenge salauat,
Keleshek gazhayyp keleshek galamat!
Ar-ozhdan, ana til onege-saltymyz,
Erlik te, eldik te urlakka amanat!

English Translation


We are brave people, children of honesty.
We sacrificed all on the way to liberty.
We have survived the kicks of fortune,
Hell's fire, and came off unhurt.


CHORUS
Fly high the eagle of freedom,
Calling for unity!
People have the power of the hero,
And the power of people is in unity.


Respecting mothers and the genius of the people,
In the evil times we were open to everybody.
Kazakh steppe is our motherland,
The holy cradle of friendship and solidarity.


CHORUS


Let the past teach us a lesson,
We believe in a bright future.
We respect honour, dignity and our mother tongue.
We pass on our traditions, courage
And our state to future generations.
