The State Anthem of Ingushetia is one of the national symbols of the Republic of Ingushetia, a federal subject of Russia, along with its flag and coat of arms. The music was composed by Ruslan Zangiyev, with accompanying lyrics by Ingush poet Ramzan Tsurov in 1993. It was first adopted as a de facto regional anthem on 27 August 1993, and then readopted officially on 7 December 2010.[1][2][3][4]
Lyrics
In 1993, the Ingush national congress wanted an anthem for the Republic of Ingushetia, at which the poems written by Ingush poet Ramzan Tsurov were accepted. Later that year, Ingush composer Ruslan Zangiyev put Tsurov's poems into music. Subsequently, the Parliament of Ingushetia officially approved the State Anthem of Ingushetia.[4]
I
Within the finest of mountains
Ingushetia proudly lies.
Embarking into the future,
Ingushetia forever.
𝄆 God strengthen Ingushetia,
May God bless Ingushetia! 𝄇
II
If the land be torn asunder,
If foes led you to disaster.
May heroic sons be noble,
And survivors will avenge them.
𝄆 God strengthen Ingushetia,
May God enliven the fallen! 𝄇
III
Looking not for a life easy,
But to live without dark envy.
Cultivated is our homeland,
Gallant we are so she be grand.
𝄆 God strengthen Ingushetia,
May our homeland be prosperous! 𝄇
IV
Your ambition for righteousness,
Your heart ablaze and luminous.
Fervidly burning it becomes,
Long live our ancestral homeland.
𝄆 God strengthen Ingushetia,
Free be our Ingushetia! 𝄇
I
Посреди горного края
Есть Ингушетия наша.
Гордо вперёд выступая,
Ты всё моложе и краше.
𝄆 Боже, дай сил, сохрани же
Ты Ингушетию нашу! 𝄇
II
Может земля содрогнуться
От ран, тебе нанесённых.
Многим сынам не вернуться, -
Нет среди них неотмщённых.
𝄆 Боже, дай сил, сохрани же
Ты Ингушетию нашу! 𝄇
III
Лёгкой судьбы мы не ищем
И злобы чёрной не держим.
Землю храним и жилище,
Каждый, будь самоотвержен!
𝄆 Боже, дай сил, сохрани же
Ты Ингушетию нашу! 𝄇
IV
Нам справедливой дай жизни,
Пламенем сердце зажги же!
Будь же свободна, Отчизна,
Молим тебя, о Всевышний!
𝄆 Боже, дай сил, сохрани же
Ты Ингушетию нашу! 𝄇
Original version
In 2005, HeadMurat Zyazikov decided that the anthem of Ingushetia was too aggressive and did not reflect the "people's desire for peace, creation, good neighborly relations", so he approved a new version, titled "My Motherland" (Russian: Моя Родина) to the verses of the Ingush poet Said Chakhkiev. This version, used until 2010, was translated by Igor Lyapin.[7]
