Art–arttıñ ovaazınga
Dacın salıp çalbargan

Ağın örgeen Tıva men.

Möñge harlığ dağnıñ oğlu men.

Möñgün suğluğ çurttuñ tölü men.

Öörüp talaan Tıva men.

Akı–duñma nayıraldığ,
Depşilgece çütküldüğ
Demniğ çurttuğ Tıva men.

Poetic translations
As Tuva is part the Russian Federation, Russian is an official language of the republic.
RussianEnglishОдолев перевал священный,
Поднялся я, тувинец,
Обрел из жизни кочевой
лучшую долю я, тувинец.

Припев:
Я – тувинец,
Сын гор с вечными снегами,
Я – тувинка,
Дочь страны серебряных рек.

Мелодией хоомей и хомуса
Разбудил эхом скалы я, тувинец,
В колыбели младенца качая,
Успокоил его плач я, тувинец.

Припев

С новогодним праздником Шагаа
Весну встречаю я, тувинец,
В летнюю ночь на играх шептался
И нашел судьбу свою я, тувинец.

A stone I set, to Lord I pray'd.
Of Tangdy, Sayan most holy,
The white milk I, a Tuvan strew'd.

Chorus:
I am a Tuvan,
The son of eternal, snow-capped peaks.
I am a Tuvan,
The daughter of the nation's silver creeks.

In the land of my forebears,
A knot brought together bliss.
The sound of khoomei divine,
Blessed be my Tuvan line.

Chorus

Of folks, families we are,
As brothers, friends together we thrive.
For progress as a whole we strive,
A country united of Tuvans we are!
