English Translation
Beloved Ossetia!
For the glory of thy name,
we stand upright like a candle,
Thou art the age-old cradle of our love,
Thou art our joy and sorrow!
We swear by thy earth,
We honour thy name highly,
We serve thee with all our hearts,
We devote our lives to thee!
Oh Great God!
Do give thy bliss, thy blessing,
happiness to Ossetia!
Thy past has been hard, oh Ossetian land,
Black evil has followed thee.
Yet through the truth of thy fortune (farn),
thy hardships were forgotten.
Towards the light of life
Thou always have walked,
In times of hardship
Thy hope was not broken,
Always with thy head up
thou walkest openly forward!
Oh Great God!
Do give thy bliss, thy blessing,
happiness to Ossetia!
Oh Wastyrdzhi!
Do give Ossetian society thy bliss, thy blessing,
good luck on the road!
Pride of our ancestors, home of the Ossetes!
Thou art connected with the strings of the heart,
In this world of sorrow through heaviness
Be not divided or dispersed,
From age to age may your name echo,
Thy glory grows,
Through thy hope we live together,
Thanks to thee, our life is bright.
Oh fortune (farn) of the country!
Do give thy bliss, thy blessing,
happiness to our beloved Ossetia!
The Honor and glory!
