If We Are United – We Are One Nation

People of all nations live in my land,

We are one soul, we are one body.

If we are united, we are one nation,

Together — a great and mighty country.

Our homeland is peaceful, our sky is clear,

Our tables are full of blessings.

In paradise-like Uzbekistan,

Every moment we live is filled with joy.

We are a hospitable and kind-hearted people,

Always ready to help our friends.

Compassion lives within our hearts,

Our love is like the oceans, vast and deep.

My chest is the sky, my pride is high,

My dreams reach the stars above.

In this world, there is only one —

I am a child of Uzbekistan!

We live with burning love for our homeland,

All nations, together as one.

If we are united, we are one nation,

Together — a great and mighty country!
