No matter how unjust  the bloodshed burn'd thee,
For times countless thou kept falling and rising.
𝄆 Lightning of Kavkaz, cradle of liberty,
By thy folk revered thine honour stayed strong. 𝄇

Unity among thy folk is wealth priceless,
For us Chechens there is no other homeland.
Our motherland's heart, our lives and deaths,
Thee we praise; "Bless'd be our native homeland!"

II
Our fathers' souls to Bashlam's peak descend,
Argun's wave our mother tongue speaketh.
𝄆 Thee our lives bestow'd us with largesse grand,
The song of Shatlak granted us vital strength! 𝄇

Love for labour and grit, honour for all folks,
Let this great fame for thee be delightful news.
𝄆 Guardian of freedom who hath found its path,
Live and prosper for us, o Chechnya of worth! 𝄇
