The State Anthem of the Chechen Republic was officially adopted on 28 July 2010, when it was approved by the Parliament of the Chechen Republic. Between 2000 and 2010, the Republic of Chechnya did not have its own anthem, unlike other first-level administrative divisions of the Russian Federation. The former self-proclaimed Chechen Republic of Ichkeria had its own anthem, titled "Death or Freedom".
No matter how unjust the bloodshed burned you,
For times countless you kept falling and rising.
𝄆 Lightning of Kavkaz, cradle of liberty,
Your proud people kept glorious your honour. 𝄇
Treasured is the harmony between your peoples,
There is no other homeland for us Chechens.
Life and death in the hearth of our homeland,
Praise to thee, and blessed be our native homeland!
The souls of our forebears land atop Bashlam,
The waves of Argun speak our mother tongue.
𝄆 You are a grand gift given for life to us,
And our anthem has granted strength to us! 𝄇
Labour, courage, and respect of the people,
Let this for thee be delightful news.
𝄆 The guardian of peace, the path to happiness,
Let us all live in glorious Chechnya! 𝄇
Как бы ты ни горела огнем несправедливости Чечня,
Не падала и вставала, чтобы жить.
𝄆 Молния Кавказа, колыбель свободы,
Берегли честь твоей земли гордые люди. 𝄇
Согласие между твоими народами — бесценное богатство!
Кроме тебя, нет матери, чтобы приласкать народ Чечни.
Нашу жизнь и нашу кончину в очаге Родины,
Просим, восхваляя тебя, благослови.
На вершину Башлама спускаются души предков.
Волна Аргуна говорит на языке матери.
𝄆 Великолепный подарок ты, данный нам жизнью!
Наш гимн дал нам силу! 𝄇
Любовь к труду и отваге, уважение народа,
Пусть будет для тебя приятной вестью.
𝄆 На страже свободы, найдя счастливую дорогу,
Живи для нас, достойная Чечня! 𝄇
