History

"Freedom" is the national anthem of Georgia. It was adopted in 2004 after the Rose Revolution.

The music is based on the Georgian opera Abesalom da Eteri by Georgian classical composer Zacharia Paliashvili in 1923. It was arranged by Joseph Kechakmadze in 2004 before it was used for the national anthem. The lyrics were written by Georgian politician David Magradze.

Five months after the second president of Georgia Eduard Shevardnadze resigned, the Parliament official adopted this anthem on 20 May 2004, replacing the previous anthem Dideba.

Official English translation

Our icon is the homeland
Trust in God is our creed,
Enlightened land of plains and mounts,
Blessed by God and holy heaven.
The freedom we have learnt to follow
Makes our future spirits stronger,
Morning star will rise above us
And lightens up the land between the two seas.
Glory to long-cherished freedom,
Glory to liberty!
