Lyrics Ossetian originalRomanizationIPA transcriptionLiteral English translation'''I'''The golden sun gently spreads its raysGenerously upon our ancestors' ancient hearth.Radiance is emanated under the sky, as if by a jewel,By Ossetia, as the farn of its peoples.It shines from times of darkness like fire;Thy root, our past, our present, our future.Reject not our devotional feast, oh God of Gods;Look upon us, Wastyrdzhi, praise to thee.Honourably look into the future;May thy life be filled with happiness like ambrosia.Sacredly bring happiness into the future.May thy young excel with the sword and shield! '''II'''May thy farn be transferred from generation to generation;May fate protect thee from sickness and woe.May the honour of the old, the valour of the youngBear the light in thy life like the sun.Honourably look into the future;May thy farn be filled with happiness like ambrosia.Sacredly bring happiness into the nations;Look upon us, Wastyrdzhi, praise to thee.===Lyrics by Felix Tsarikati===Ossetian originalRomanizationLiteral English translationOur Ossetia will always be eternalYou bloom brightly in the morningAnd the sun shines above youYour valleys and mountains will stand for centuriesMy pride, my OssetiaAll your sons and their fathers are eternalLet's carry your name through the yearsAnd the fathers from now on are wise peopleOur Ossetia has many featsAll your peoples are grateful All your glades are bloomingYou will stand and the clouds and the windSouth North Ossetia is always unitedMay the glory of the fathers growKhetag and Wastyrdzhi will always be with usOur beloved Ossetia will always be eternal!
