TURKMEN LYRICS (Latin script)
---
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
CHORUS:
The great creation of Turkmenbashi,
Native land, sovereign state,
Turkmenistan, light and song of soul,
Long live and prosper for ever and ever!
I am ready to give life for native hearth,
The spirit of ancestors descendants are famous for,
My land is sacred, My flag flies in the world
A symbol of the great neutral country flies.
CHORUS
My nation is united and is veins of tribes
Ancestors'blood, undying flows,
Ston-ns and misfortunes of times are not dreadful for us,
Let us increase fame and honour!
CHORUS
Mountains, rivers and beauty of steppes,
Love and destiny, revelation of mine,
Let my eyes go blind for any cruel look at you,
Motherland of ancestors and heirs of mine!

Turkmenistan (also known as Turkmenia or Turkmania) is a country in Central Asia. The name Turkmenistan is derived from Persian, meaning "land of the Turkmen". Before 1991, it was a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, called the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic. It is bordered by Afghanistan to the southeast, Iran to the southwest, Uzbekistan to the northeast, Kazakhstan to the northwest, and the Caspian Sea to the west. Although the country is wealthy in natural resources in certain areas, most of it is covered by the Karakum (Black Sands) Desert. The Turkmen government comprises one of the last remaining dictatorships in the world.
