Anthem of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic

The State Anthem of the Turkmen SSR was adopted in 1946 and used until 1991 by the Turkmen SSR as a regional anthem. When Turkmenistan became an independent state in 1991, the regional anthem became the national anthem of Turkmenistan, and was used as such until late 27 September 1996, although without lyrics, as the Soviet-era lyrics were discontinued upon Turkmenistan's independence from the Soviet Union.Turkmenistan (1946-1997)

Background

It was used from 1946 to 1996. The music was composed by Veli Mukhatov, who also composed the current national anthem of Turkmenistan; and the lyrics were written by Aman Kekilov and a group of authors. On 12 April 1978, the original lyrics were changed to remove mentions of Joseph Stalin. After Turkmenistan's independence was declared, its melody was still used until late 1996. However, there were no lyrics in the new version.

Friendship of our people with equal rights,
The Soviet Union transformed it into a fortress,
The leader of friendship is the Russian folk,
The brotherhood also helped us.

{{small, Chorus I:
Long live and glorify, ye beautiful Motherland,
If hardships try to overwhelm you,
We're willing to spare our lives for you,
''Sunny'' Motherland, O Turkmenistan!

II
By opening the wide path of Lenin's freedom,
He brought us to happiness,
Stalin, son and leader of the people,
From success to success.

{{small, Chorus II:
Long live and glorify, ye beautiful Motherland,
If hardships try to overwhelm you,
We're willing to spare our lives for you,
''Prosperous'' Motherland, O Turkmenistan!

III
Our country developed during the Soviet era,
We've long achieved our dream,
We're a free people of the Soviet Union,
We're strong in both labour and struggle.

{{small, Chorus III:
Long live and glorify, ye beautiful Motherland,
If hardships try to overwhelm you,
We're willing to spare our lives for you,
''Dear'' Motherland, O Turkmenistan!
