#1 TURKMENISTAN ANTHEM (TRANSLATION) - ADOPTED 1998
from David Kendall Anthem Website

CHORUS:
The creator's fate of Turkmenbashi is immortal
Oh sovereign state, native country,
Oh Turkmenistan - song and lighthouse
Live forever and always thrive!

Sons will put their heads for the native fireplace
The ancestors' spirit in our hearts will not fade
The flag of native country waves and it will wave -
As a symbol of great, neutral state

CHORUS REPEAT:

United nation, in the veins of tribes pours
The blood of the ancestors and it makes springs more pure
We are not afraid of stormy times nor suffering
Only fame and glory we will expand

CHORUS REPEAT:

Mountains and rivers and flowers in steppes
Fate and love, all connected by me
Don't be blinded one who'll look to you angrily
You, fatherland, are alive by ancestors and by me!

Some of the connotations - Nutty Niyazov indeed!
