"Menıñ Qazaqstanym" (Kazakh: Менің Қазақстаным, Kazakh pronunciation: [mʲeˈnɘɴ qɑzɑqstɑˈnəm]; "My Kazakhstan") has been the national anthem of Kazakhstan since 7 January 2006.[1]
History[change | change source]
This song was originally a patriotic song written in 1956 in response to the Soviet Union's Virgin Lands programme.[2] The tune was composed by Shámshi Qaldaıaqov with lyrics (words) by Jumeken Nájimedenov. In 2006, the first president of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev revised (changed) the lyrics before becoming the anthem.[3]

Unofficial Russian version[change | change source]
Солнца свет в небесах,
Урожай на полях,
Песнь о смелых сынах
Прославляют в веках!
Слава нашей земли
С давних пор на устах.
Как ты горд и силён,
Мой родной Казахстан!
Припев:
Край мой родной! Мой народ со мной!
В поле цветок, взращенный тобой.
Песня звенит на устах народа:
Родина — свобода — вечный Казахстан!
Все пути предо мной
Распахнул шар земной,
И сплочённый народ
В светлый путь нас зовёт.
Кровных уз и добра,
Счастья нового дня –
Ты, отчизна моя,
Всё дала мне сполна!
Припев[7]
Unofficial English version[change | change source]
In the sky sun of gold,
In the steppes seeds of gold.
Of legends brave and bold,
My great country behold!
From thine antiquity
Emerged our glory.
Our honour shall reign
Brave my Kazakhs remain!
Chorus:
My motherland, my motherland,
Like a flower upright I stand.
Of thee I sing, thee I proudly blazon!
O my native homeland — my Kazakhstan!
For aeons we've lasted
In the vast land I have.
Our folk united
In this free land I have.
Of new eras embraced,
Like an eternal friend.
Revered is our land,
Such is our homeland!
Chorus

Parodies[change | change source]
There is a parody version of the anthem—in an entirely different tune—which comes at the end of 2005 mockumentary film Borat. It is titled "O Kazakhstan". The actor who played Borat Sagdiyev, Sacha Baron Cohen, has been threatened with lawsuits by the Government of Kazakhstan after the execution (release) of the film.[9]
Playback incidents[change | change source]
In March 2012, the full Borat soundtrack was played at the International Shooting Grand Prix in Kuwait with Gold-winner Mariya Dmitriyenko.[10][11] Kazakh officials were angered by this incident and complained. A few weeks earlier, at a festival of a ski resort in Qostanaı, the first part of Ricky Martin's single "Livin' La Vida Loca" was played accidentally before it was immediately changed to "Meniń Qazaqstanym".[12]
