|I

Дагестан, ты отчизна святая!

Нет родней и свободнее края.

Горы твои мудры, степи твои щедры,

Древнего Каспия благодатны дары!

Припев:

Край наш вершинный, край наш орлиный!

Верой хранимый, славный Дагестан!

Воля твоя непоколебима: жить в семье единой

Вечный Дагестан!

II

Дагестан, перед силою вражьей

Не склонял головы ты отважной!

Сердце — скала, зоркость орла!

Кровь героев всегда в твоих жилах текла!

Припев

Наш Дагестан!

|I

Dagestan, ty otčizna svjataja!

Net rodnej i svobodneje kraja.

Gory tvoi mudry, stepi tvoi ščedry,

Drevnego Kaspija blagodatny dary!

Pripev:

Kraj naš veršinnyj, kraj naš orlinyj!

Veroj hranimyj, slavnyj Dagestan!

Volja tvoja nepokolebima: žitj v semje jedinoj

Večnyj Dagestan!

II

Dagestan, pered siloju vražjej

Ne sklonjal golovy ty otvažnoj!

Serdce — skala, zorkostj orla!

Krovj geronev vsegda v tvoih žilah tekla!

Pripev

Naš Dagestan!

|I

O Dagestan, you fatherland holy,

There is no land more free and more dear.

Your mountains are safe, your steppes aplenty,

The gifts of ancient Caspian blessing bear.

Chorus:

O our land of peaks, O our land of eagles!

Shielded by faith, o glorious Dagestan!

Unwavering is your willpower: to live in one family

Eternal Dagestan!

II

O Dagestan, under enemy power,

You have never your brave head bowed.

Your heart a rock, you watch like an eagle,

The blood of our heroes always in your veins flowed.

Chorus

Our Dagestan!
