State Anthem of Tatarstan

The State Anthem of the Republic of Tatarstan was composed by Tatar musician Röstəm Yaxin and was first adopted in 1993 without lyrics. 20 years later, lyrics written by Ramazan Baytimerov [ru] were made official.

On 21 February 2013, the Parliament of Tatarstan unanimously approved lyrics written by Baytimerov. The final lyrics of the anthem is based on the poem «Туган ягым» ('Native Land') by Ramazan Baytimerov, as is known from a story written by him in the 1970s. Many unknown authors took part in the revision of the poems. Baytimerov's poems inspired the composer Röstäm Yaxin to compose a song, the melody of which became the national anthem of Tatarstan in 1993. The new lyrics of the anthem consists of the first two verses sung in Tatar, followed by two verses sung in Russian. The lyrics were translated into Russian by Assyrian-Russian poet Filipp Pirayev.

The original proposed lyrics of the anthem, titled "Tuğan yağım" (lit.'My Native Country'), was written by Ramazan Baytimerov in the 1970s. The text was subsequently translated into Russian by Marsel Sabirov. During that time, Röstäm Yaxin was inspired to composed music that eventually became the national anthem. The Russian version, however, was not adopted.
