National anthem of the Republic of Turkey - The March of Independence <br />Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Milli Marşı - İstiklâl Marşı <br /> <br />Music by Zeki Üngör <br />Lyrics by Mehmet Âkif Ersoy <br /> <br />Adopted in March 12, 1921 (lyrics); 1930 (music) <br /> <br />Lyrics in Turkish: <br />Korkma! Sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak; <br />Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak. <br />O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak! <br />O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak! <br /> <br />Çatma kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilâl; <br />Kahraman ırkıma bir gül… Ne bu şiddet, bu celâl? <br />Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helâl; <br />Hakkıdır Hakk’a tapan, milletimin istiklâl. <br /> <br />Lyrics in English: <br />Fear not! For the crimson flag that proudly waves in these dawns, shall never fade, <br />Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my nation burns out. <br />And that, is the star of my nation, and it will forever shine; <br />It is mine; and solely belongs to my nation. <br /> <br />Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent, <br />But smile upon my heroic nation! Why the anger, why the rage? <br />The blood we shed for you will not be worthy otherwise; <br />For freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixFXJIh9wdU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixFXJIh9wdU</a>
