UZBEKISTAN

For the 34th Dawn of My Homeland

Time passed, and the old wounds slowly healed,
You endured much oppression, many pains concealed.
Every inch of your soil now has flower-beds revealed,
May you ever bloom and prosper, garden and meadow blessed,
My soul is sacrificed for you, my Uzbekistan!

Your snowy peaks embraced the sunlight’s gentle ray,
Because of you, Fitrat and Cholpon’s names were cleared today,
Hearts have found where dreams and hopes can once again stay.
You are the balm for aching hearts, the cure for all distress,
My soul is sacrificed for you, my Uzbekistan!

Your fields drank not water, but my nation’s blood, I deem,
My people, in dark times, lived in sorrow’s endless stream.
My people, who in hope, awaited freedom’s dream.
Oh, my motherland, may your head be safe, hard as stone,
My soul is sacrificed for you, my Uzbekistan!

May your harvest overflow, your blessings never cease,
I would use your sacred herbs to grant my eyesight peace.
I’d kiss your cheek to honor you, but you have no cheek’s release.
May your name be a great epic, in every tongue increased,
My soul is sacrificed for you, my Uzbekistan!

Your brave, courageous son stands with a mountain’s might,
His loyalty to you is an oath of solemn height.
Blessed indeed is he who’s born within your light.
Stay safe forever, oh you ancient Land of Turan,
My soul is sacrificed for you, my Uzbekistan!

Not for nothing are you called the Motherland so dear,
I lived all these years, your sorrows mine to bear.
I’ve not thanked you enough for your bread and salt to share.
Please forgive my faults, whether they were wrong or right,
My soul is sacrificed for you, my Uzbekistan!

Behold today, this wondrous, radiant day has come,
The glorious day your independence was won.
Congratulations on this blessed, triumphant one!
Live for millennia, my free and blooming Gulistan,
My soul is sacrificed for you, my Uzbekistan!
