Independence March
Don't be afraid - the flag in the sky will not go out,
As long as there is at least one outbreak in the country.
The flag is a star for me and my nation,
You will never burn under the sky.
Don't frown, crescent moon, when there are people under you,
And smile: after all, my people are heroes.
Forgive me for not sparing his blood in battles,
Freedom is the right of all who have God in their hearts.
Don't be afraid: the chain will not squeeze these hands,
There are no obstacles for the light of the sun.
I will demolish everything, even if the mountains stand in a circle,
I will flow over the horizon.
Don't be afraid of the howl - the monster of the West is fierce,
But the howl of the chimera will not strangle the will;
And his last rotten tooth is dull,
And there is a shield in the chest - true faith.
Brothers, let's not let the monster cross the threshold,
And with our breasts we reflect the pressure of dishonor.
The days that God has predicted for us will come,
Who knows, maybe tomorrow, maybe sooner.
Don't just walk on the earth, but know:
How many ancestors lie in it without burial.
You are the son of those who have fallen to death; do not betray their spirit,
And don't change your home in paradise for anything.
It is not a sacrifice to fall for the earth: duty and honor.
Squeeze with your hand - the blood of victims flows here.
God, take everything: life and everything that is,
Just don't let me be separated from the earth.
My soul has only one request to God:
Do not let the hand of the enemy touch the places of prayer!
Let the adhan always sound in my country,
And then even my tombstone, if there is one, will touch the ground with its forehead.
My bloody tears will flow from every wound,
My disembodied soul will emerge from the earth.
Maybe my head will rise and touch the sky...
Flutter, glorious crescent! May your blood be forgiven.
My flag and my people will never disappear again.
Liberation is the right of my people, who pray to one God!
