State Anthem of Uzbekistan
The State Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan came into being when Uzbekistan was a republic of the Soviet Union. Upon independence in 1991, lacking any other suitable candidate, the tune of the old Uzbek SSR anthem, composed by Mutal Burhonov, was retained with new lyrics written by Abdulla Oripov.
This anthem is broadcast when Uzbek radio and television stations sign on at 5:55 a.m.
Lyrics
The modern anthem only has two verses and two choruses, while the Uzbek SSR Anthem had three of each, arranged in the same structure.Sen oʻzing doʻstlarga yoʻldosh, mehribon – mehribon! Yashnagay to abad ilmu fan, ijod, Shuhrating porlasin toki bor jahon! | You are a warmhearted companion to your friends, to your friends! Flourish forever with learning and creativity, May your glory shine as long as the world exists! | You yourself a companion to friends, to friends! Creator of eternal knowledge and science, May your fame for ever shine bright! | |
Ajdodlar mardona ruhi senga yor! Ulugʻ xalq qudrati joʻsh urgan zamon, Olamni mahliyo aylagan diyor! | ' ' ' | The courageous spirit of your ancestors is with you! When the great power of the people raged, have charmed the world! | Our ancestors' spirits your companion! Strength of great people in turbulent times Made this land the world's joy. |
Erkin, yosh avlodlar senga zoʻr qanot, zoʻr qanot! Istiqlol mashʼali, tinchlik posboni, Haqsevar, ona yurt, mangu boʻl obod! | The young free generation is a strong wing for you, strong wing for you! Beacon of independence, the guardian of peace, Lover of truth, Oh motherland, flourish forever! | Free, young generations are your mighty wings, mighty wings! The torch of independence, guardian of peace, Oh! Worthy motherland, flourish and prosper forevermore! | |
