Current:
| Milli Marşı (National March) Korkma! Sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak, Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak. O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak; O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak. Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilal! Kahraman ırkıma bir gül; ne bu şiddet, bu celal? Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helal... Hakkıdır, Hakk’a tapan milletimin istiklal. (Fear not; For the crimson banner that proudly ripples in this glorious dawn, shall not fade, Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my homeland is extinguished. For that is the star of my people, and it will forever shine; It is mine; and solely belongs to my valiant nation. Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent! Smile upon my heroic nation! Why the anger, why the rage? Our blood which we shed for you shall not be worthy otherwise; For freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation!) |
Proposed: Jakania! Jakania! How you glimmer to me!, What beautiful shores you have - their depth that makes us free!, The light has came that casts away despair - it overthrows tyranny! Jakania! Jakania! Your beauty is so clear!, The shine you behold of a new light - it casts away fear!, The dark has left and new arise, Only the good do you comprise. Jakania! Jakania! Blessed be the free!, Bless our mighty nation so that all may hear our decree!, Be strong, be proud, lift up our souls!, Look to the endless horizon and see our forces proud!, We are the force of good and justice - let it be known!
