English lyrics[]
O Dagestan, thou fatherland holy!
There is no homeland more free and dear!
Thy mountains wise, thy steppes aplenty
Gifts of ancient Caspian blessing bear!
Chorus:
O our land of peaks! O our land of eagles!
By faith guarded, O glorious Dagestan!
Unwavering is thy will:
Live in one family – forever Dagestan!
O Dagestan, of foe’s power ahead
Thou hast ne’er thy brave head bowed.
Thy heart a rock, vigilance of an eagle!
Blood of our heroes hath always in thy veins flowed.
Chorus
Our Dagestan!
