The Kazakhstan national anthem should be playing... please rise!

We are a valiant people, sons of honour,
And all we’ve sacrificed to gain our freedom.
Emerging from malicious grip of fate, from hell of fire,
We scored a victory of glory and success

Refrain: Soar high up in the sky, oh, eagle of freedom,
Call up to harmony, agreement and accord!
For hero’s might and strength is in the nation,
Just as the unity is nation’s razing sword.

While honouring our mothers and respecting
The cream of cream of our rising nation
We welcomed all ill-starred and struck by ruin...
Our homeland, the steppe, a sacred cradle
Of friendship and accord
Gave all a shelter and a hearty refuge

Refrain: Soar high up in the sky, oh, eagle of freedom,
Call up to harmony, agreement and accord!
For hero’s might and strength is in the nation,
Just as the unity is nation’s razing sword.

We’ve overcome the hardships
Let the past serve bitter lesson
But ahead we face a radiant future.
We bequeath our sacred legacy implying our mother tongue
And sovereignty and valour and traditions
So dearly cherished by our forefathers
As true mandate to future generations.

Refrain: Soar high up in the sky, oh, eagle of freedom,
Call up to harmony, agreement and accord!
For hero’s might and strength is in the nation,
Just as the unity is nation’s razing sword.
