The national anthem of Turkmenistan is called the National Anthem of Independent Neutral Turkmenistan (sometimes also Independent, Neutral, Turkmenistan State Anthem, a literal translation from Turkmen: Garassyz, Bitarap, Türkmenistanyn Döwlet Gimni). The lyrics were written by the first president of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov (also known as Turkmenbashi, Turkmen: Türkmenbaşy). Niyazov died on 21 December 2006, and two years after his death the Parliament adopted a law that changed some of the lyrics all references to Turkmenbashi in the anthem were replaced with the people. The text of the anthem is given here in its present form, followed by the original text from the Niyazov period. Turkmen lyrics: Janym gurban sana, erkana ýurdum Mert pederleň ruhy bardyr könülde. Bitarap, Garaşsyz topragyn nurdur Baýdagyn belentdir dünýan önünde. Halkyň guran baky beýik binasy Berkarar döwletim, jigerim - janym. Başlaryň täji sen, diller senasy Dünýä dursun, sen dur, Türkmenistanym! Gardaşdyr tireler, amandyr iller Owal-ahyr birdir bizin ganymyz. Harasatlar almaz, syndyrmaz siller Nesiller döş gerip gorar şanymyz. Halkyň guran baky beýik binasy Berkarar döwletim, jigerim - janym. Başlaryň täji sen, diller senasy, Dünýä dursun, sen dur, Türkmenistanym! English translation I am ready to give life for native hearth The spirit of ancestors descendants are famous for My land is sacred. My flag flies in the world A symbol of the great neutral country flies.

My nation is united and in veins of tribes Ancestors' blood, undying flows Storms and misfortunes of times are not dreadful for us Let us increase fame and honour!
