[edit]

Yakutia, thou art the light of the dawn!
To goodness and happiness thou callest us.
Thou shinest bright as a rainbow of diamond
And lead us on to future victory

Chorus:
Shine and grow stronger, native land!
Grow and exult, Yakutia!
Thou art the beauty and pride of all Russia
Thou art free, and liberal in thy gifts.

Freely our Lena flows
with living water to thy wide borders.
It carries harmony and strength.
It grants all peoples peace.

Chorus

Land of Sakha, thy sacred places
From peaks of ages direct us.
We continue the journey of our ancestors
and with honour fulfil their mandate.
