National Anthem of Independent Neutral Turkmenistan

The national anthem of Turkmenistan is called the National Anthem of Independent Neutral Turkmenistan^[1] (sometimes also Independent, Neutral, Turkmenistan State Anthem, a literal translation from Turkmen: Garassyz, Bitarap, Türkmenistanyn Döwlet Gimni). The lyrics were written by the first president of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov (also known as Turkmenbashi, Turkmen: Türkmenbaşy). Niyazov died on 21 December 2006, and two years after his death the reference to Turkmenbashi in the chorus was replaced with the people.^[2] The text of the anthem is given here in its present form, followed by the original text from the Niyazov period.

Janym gurban sana, erkana ýurdum Mert pederleň ruhy bardyr könülde. Bitarap, Garaşsyz topragyn nurdur Baýdagyn belentdir dünýan önünde. Halkyň guran baky beýik binasy Berkarar döwletim, jigerim - janym. Başlaryň täji sen, diller senasy Dünýä dursun, sen dur, Türkmenistanym! Gardaşdyr tireler, amandyr iller Owal-ahyr birdir bizin ganymyz. Harasatlar almaz, syndyrmaz siller Nesiller döş gerip gorar şanymyz. Halkyň guran baky beýik binasy Berkarar döwletim, jigerim - janym. Başlaryň täji sen, diller senasy, Dünýä dursun, sen dur, Türkmenistanym!

I am ready to give life for native hearth The spirit of ancestors descendants are famous for My land is sacred. My flag flies in the world A symbol of the great neutral country flies. The forever great creation of the people Native land, sovereign state Turkmenistan, light and song of soul Long live and prosper for ever and ever! My nation is united and in veins of tribes Ancestors' blood, undying flows Storms and misfortunes of times are not dreadful for us Let us increase fame and honour! The forever great creation of the people Native land, sovereign state Turkmenistan, light and song of soul Long live and prosper for ever and ever!

Arkamdyr bu daglar, penamdyr düzler Ykbalym, namysym, togabym, Watan! Sana şek ýetirse, kör bolsun gözler Geçmişim, geljegim, dowamym, Watan!

The great creation of Türkmenbaşy Native land, sovereign state Turkmenistan, light and song of soul Long live and prosper for ever and ever! I am ready to give life for native hearth The spirit of ancestors descendants are famous for My land is sacred. My flag flies in the world A symbol of the great neutral country flies. The great creation of Türkmenbaşy Native land, sovereign state Turkmenistan, light and song of soul Long live and prosper for ever and ever! My nation is united and is veins of tribes Ancestors' blood, undying flows Storms and misfortunes of times are not dreadful for us Let us increase fame and honour! The great creation of Türkmenbaşy, Native land, sovereign state Turkmenistan, light and song of soul Long live and prosper for ever and ever! 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!
