National Anthem of Georgia | Tavisupleba | თავისუფლება

Tavisupleba (Georgian: თავისუფლება, pronounced \"Freedom\") is the national anthem of Georgia. It was adopted as the Georgian national anthem in May 2004, along with a new national flag and coat of arms. The symbols' change was brought about upon the successful overthrow of the previous government in the bloodless Rose Revolution. The music, taken from the Georgian operas Abesalom da Eteri (\"Abesalom and Eteri\") and Daisi (\"The Nightfall\"), by the Georgian composer Zacharia Paliashvili (Georgian: ზაქარია ფალიაშვილი), was adapted to form it by Ioseb Kechakmadze (Georgian: იოსებ კეჭაყმაძე). The lyrics were composed by David Magradze (Georgian: დავით მაღრაძე).

Lyrics in Georgian:
ჩემი ხატია სამშობლო,
სახატე მთელი ქვეყანა,
განათებული მთა-ბარი,
წილნაყარია ღმერთთანა.
თავისუფლება დღეს ჩვენი
მომავალს უმღერს დიდებას,
ცისკრის ვარსკვლავი ამოდის
ამოდის და ორ ზღვას შუა ბრწყინდება,
და დიდება თავისუფლებას,
თავისუფლებას დიდება!

Lyrics Transliteration:
Čemi xaṭia samšoblo,
Saxaṭe mteli kveqana,
Ganatebuli mta-bari
Ċilnaqaria Ġmerttana.
Tavisupleba dġes čveni
Momavals umġers didebas,
Cisḳris varsḳvlavi amodis
Amodis da or zġvas šua brč̣qindeba,
Da dideba tavisuplebas,
Tavisuplebas dideba!

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!
