Anthem of the Republic of Buryatia

The State Anthem of the Republic of Buryatia is one of the state symbols of Buryatia, together with the flag and coat of arms of the Russian federal subject. It was first used unofficially for the Buryat Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, between 1983 and 1990 titled "Song of the Native Land" with original lyrics in Russian.

The anthem was written by Buryat poet Damba Zhalsarayev, while the music was composed by Buryat composer and music teacher Anatoliy Andreyev. It was adopted on 20 April 1995 with Law N121-I "On the State Anthem of the Republic of Buryatia".

English version

 * Buryatia, land of bountiful nature.
 * Buryatia, my heavenly earth.
 * Buryatia, never thou art from me far.
 * Buryatia, the most wonderful hearth.


 * Buryatia, thou giv'st the air aroma;
 * I am bless'd with thine energy divine.
 * Thy precious springs are the source of anima;
 * I let my heart and soul in thine ease shine.


 * Buryatia, to a journey deep and long,
 * We are girt by thine ardour pure and strong.
 * Thee we behold by thy bracing sublime brine,
 * May Lake Baikal be holy pride of thine.


 * This bitter world with hardships and distress fill'd,
 * Let not the sore envy of hell thee gird.
 * May holy honour and blessing be thine,
 * O beloved Buryatia of mine!


 * O, Motherland!
