I
I am ready to give my life for you, my land
Our brave forefathers have a spirit in their heart,
That is the light of a neutral, independent land The flag flies high in front of the world.
Chorus:
The eternally great creation built by the people
My strong state, my sovereign land.
You are the light and song of the soul
Long live and prosper, my Turkmenistan!
II
The tribes of my nation are unified
Our ancestors' undying blood flows.
In storms and unfortunate times, we are not afraid
Generations will gather to protect our glory.
Chorus:
The great creation built by Turkmenbashy
My strong state, my sovereign land.
You are the light and song of the soul
Long live and prosper, my Turkmenistan!
I
I am ready to give my life for you, my land
Our brave forefathers have a spirit in their heart,
That is the light of a neutral, independent land The flag flies high in front of the world.

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!
