The National Anthem of Kyrgyzstan

Every morning, broadcasts of Kyrgyz radio begin with the solemn melody of the National Anthem, which, along with the flag and coat of arms, is an official symbol of the Kyrgyz Republic. It is performed at the opening and closing of formal gatherings, meetings, and other events of state significance, during the unveiling of monuments and memorials in honor of significant events or outstanding figures, when welcoming heads of foreign states, and at all ceremonies accompanied by the raising of the National Flag. During public performances, attendees listen to the National Anthem while standing, and men remove their headgear.

The National Anthem of the Kyrgyz Republic was adopted on December 18, 1992. The authors of the anthem's lyrics are the national poet of Kyrgyzstan Jalil Sadykov and poet Shabdanaly Kuluyev. The music was composed by the well-known composers Kalyy Moldobasanov and Nasyr Davlesov.

National Anthem of the Kyrgyz Republic


High snowy peaks, valleys,
Are equal to the spirit of our people.
For countless centuries, inhabiting Ala-Too,
Our ancestors have preserved it.

Chorus:

Move forward, Kyrgyz people,
On the path of freedom.
Grow and flourish,
Create your own destiny.

From ancient times, the character of my people,
Is ready to give its heart to friends.
This unity strengthens the oneness of the people,
Bringing peace to the Kyrgyz land.

Chorus:

The hopes and wishes of the people are fulfilled,
The banner of freedom waves high.
Let us pass on the traditions and heritage of our ancestors,
To the benefit of our people and future generations.

Chorus.

Translated from Kyrgyz by K. Akmatova and M. Ozmitelya

High mountains, valleys, fields —
Our native, cherished land.
Our fathers lived among Ala-Too,
Always keeping their homeland sacred.

Chorus.
Forward, Kyrgyz people,
On the path of freedom!
Grow, people, blossom,
Create your own fate!

Eternally our people are open to friendship,
Unity and friendship they keep in their hearts.
The land of Kyrgyzstan, our native country,
Is illuminated by the rays of harmony.

Chorus.
The dreams and hopes of the people have come true,
And the banner of freedom rises high.
We will pass on the legacy of our fathers
For the good of the people to our descendants.
