My Kazakhstan

"Meniń Qazaqstanym" (Kazakh for "My Kazakhstan") has been the national anthem of Kazakhstan since 7 January 2006.

History
This song was originally a patriotic song written in 1956 in response to the Soviet Union's Virgin Lands programme. The tune was composed by Shámshi Qaldaıaqov with lyrics (words) by Jumeken Nájimedenov. In 2006, the first president of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev revised (changed) the lyrics before becoming the anthem.

|Altın kün aspanı,
Altın dän dalası,
İrlekteñ dastanı –
İlemi qaraşı!

İcildin ir digin,
Dañqımız şıqtı ğoy,
Namısın birmigin,
Qazağım mıqtı ğoy!

Qayırması:
Mineñ ilem, mineñ ilem,
Güleñ bolıp igelimen,
Cırıñ bolıp tögelimen, ilem!
Tuvğan cirem mineñ — Qazaqstanım!

Urpaqqa col aşqan,
Kiñ baytaq cirem bar.
Berlege carasqan,
Tävilsez ilem bar.

Qarsı alğan vaqıttı,
Mäñgelek dosınday.
Bezdeñ il baqıttı,
Bezdeñ il osınday!

|Алтын күн аспаны,
Алтын дән даласы,
Ерліктің дастаны –
Еліме қарашы!

Ежелден ер деген,
Даңқымыз шықты ғой,
Намысын бермеген,
Қазағым мықты ғой!

Қайырмасы:
Менің елім, менің елім,
Гүлің болып егілемін,
Жырың болып төгілемін, елім!
Туған жерім менің — Қазақстаным!

Ұрпаққа жол ашқан,
Кең байтақ жерім бар.
Бірлігі жарасқан,
Тәуелсіз елім бар.

Қарсы алған уақытты,
Мәңгілік досындай.
Біздің ел бақытты,
Біздің ел осындай!

Parodies
There is a parody version of the anthem—in an entirely different tune—which comes at the end of 2005 mockumentary film Borat. It is titled "O Kazakhstan". The actor who played Borat Sagdiyev, Sacha Baron Cohen, has been threatened with lawsuits by the Government of Kazakhstan after the execution (release) of the film.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070224150143/http://www.cbc.ca/arts/story/2005/11/25/borat-lawsuit-051125.html CBC.ca Arts – British comic responds to legal threat against 'Borat'. CBC Arts. 24 February 2007.</ref>

Playback incidents
In March 2012, the full Borat'' soundtrack was played at the International Shooting Grand Prix in Kuwait with Gold-winner Mariya Dmitriyenko. Kazakh officials were angered by this incident and complained. A few weeks earlier, at a festival of a ski resort in Qostanaı, the first part of Ricky Martin's single "Livin' La Vida Loca" was played accidentally before it was immediately changed to "Meniń Qazaqstanym".
