Lyrics Ossetian originalEnglish translation Cyrillic scriptLatin scriptIPA transcriptionThe golden sun spreadeth its rays Generously upon the homeland of our forebears. From the sky light shineth like jewels By Ossetia as the farn of her peoples.
Gleaming from times of darkness like fire; Thy source, our past, our present, our future. Reject not our devotional feast, O God of Gods; Look upon us, Wastyrdzhi, praise to thee.
Honourably look into the future; May thy life be joyous like ambrosia. Sacredly bring happiness into the future; May thy young excel with sword and shield.
May thy farn be passed down through generations; May fate protect thee from sickness and woe. May the honour of the old, the valour of the young Bear the light in thy life like the sun.
Honourably look into the future; May thy farn be joyous like ambrosia. Sacredly bring happiness into the nations; Look upon us, Wastyrdzhi, praise to thee!
Lyrics by Felix Tsarikati Ossetian originalEnglish translationCyrillic scriptLatin scriptOur Ossetia shall always eternal be In the morning thou bloomest brightly And the sun shineth above thee Thy valleys and mountains shall for centuries stand
My pride, my Ossetia All thy sons and their fathers are eternal Let us carry thy name through the years And from now our ancestors are a wise folk
Our Ossetia hath many feats All thy peoples are grateful All thy glades are blooming May the wind blow the dark clouds away
South and North Ossetia are united always May the glory of our ancestors grow Khetag and Wastyrdzhi shall be with us always Our beloved Ossetia shall be eternal always
