Lyrics
Ак мөңгүлүү аска, зоолор, талаалар, Элибиздин жаны менен барабар. Сансыз кылым Ала-Тоосун мекендеп, Сактап келди биздин ата-бабалар.
Кайырма:
Алгалай бер, кыргыз эл, Азаттыктын жолунда. Өркүндөй бер, өсө бер, Өз тагдырың колуңда.
Аткарылып элдин үмүт тилеги, Желбиреди эркиндиктин желеги. Бизге жеткен ата салтын, мурасын, Ыйык сактап урпактарга берели.
Кайырма:
Алгалай бер, кыргыз эл, Азаттыктын жолунда. Өркүндөй бер, өсө бер, Өз тагдырың колуңда.
Translation
Land of snowy mountains, steppes and valleys, Which are equal to the souls of our folks. Within your Ala-Too for aeons countless, Where our fathers dwelled and protected them.
Chorus:
March on, O Kyrgyz folk, March towards democracy! Keep prospering, off we go, In your hands lies your destiny!
Our hopes, aspirations accomplished, Your banner of freedom is soaring over us, With our forebears' traditions we are endowed, For aeons shall our culture stay holy to us.
Chorus:
March on, O Kyrgyz folk, March towards democracy! Keep prospering, off we go, In your hands lies your destiny!
