MOTHER TONGUE

They say — the mother tongue is the nation’s mirror,

My language — the soul and life of my people.

With mother tongue, hearts shine clearer,

My Uzbek tongue — my homeland’s symbol of honor.

Because of you, the nation lives on,

Past, present, and future in you are drawn.

From my mother’s lullaby your melody was born,

For you — my heart is full of love and devotion.

Language — the brightest star in a nation’s sky,

Each of your words leaves a radiant light.

If you fade, the people’s identity will die,

With you, the nation stands in its might.

My Uzbek tongue, be eternal, stay strong,

Though ages and centuries may move along.

You are our pride, our glory, our story,

My mother tongue — bloom forever in glory!
