Azərbaycan Marşı[a] (lit.' "Azerbaijan March" or "March of Azerbaijan"'), is the national anthem of Azerbaijan. The music was composed by Uzeyir Hajibeyov, with lyrics by poet Ahmad Javad. The government officially adopted the anthem in 1920 with the passage of the decree, "On the State Hymn of the Republic of Azerbaijan."[1] In 1992, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan's government officially restored Azərbaycan Marşı as the national anthem.[2]

The government of Azerbaijan has also officially declared the national anthem to be "the sacred symbol of the Azerbaijan state, its independence and unity."[1]

Since 2006, a fragment of the lyrics from the national anthem is depicted on the obverse of the Azerbaijani 5 manat banknote.[3] In 2011, to mark the 20th anniversary of Azerbaijan's independence from Soviet rule, the government issued a stamp celebrating the anthem.

History

"March of Azerbaijan" composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov (left) and lyricist Ahmad Javad (right)

In 1919, during the formation of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, the new government announced it was accepting submissions from the public for a national anthem, coat of arms and state seal. A prize of 15,000 rubles would be awarded to the citizen who submitted the winning anthem.[4]

Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov wrote two marches. In 1919, this work received the first award announced by the government of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.[5] The second march was the "March of Azerbaijan." According to Turkish musicologist Etem Üngör, "In those years, when Azerbaijan had not yet lost its independence, the march was chanted by military schools before lessons."[6]

In 1922, Azərbaycan marşı was replaced by Soviet communist anthem The Internationale. In 1944, during World War II, the new Soviet national anthem replaced The Internationale and an additional anthem of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic was installed.

In 1989, following several years of changes brought by perestroika, composer Aydin Azimov arranged a modern recording of the anthem by a full symphony and chorus. That fall, Azərbaycan marşı was broadcast on television and radios in Azerbaijan, 70 years after it was introduced.[4]

Post-Soviet restoration

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, in spring 1992, the leaders of the independent Azerbaijani government proposed that the original anthem should be restored as the anthem of Azerbaijan. The Milli Mejlis (National Assembly) signed it into law on 27 May 1992.[2]

Azərbaycan! Azərbaycan!
Ey qəhrəman övladın şanlı Vətəni!

Hüququndan keçən əsgər,
Hərə bir qəhrəman oldu!

Sən olasan gülüstan,
Sənə hər an can qurban!
Sənə min bir məhəbbət
Sinəmdə tutmuş məkan!

Namusunu hifz etməyə,

Literal Poetic

Azerbaijan! Azerbaijan!
Oh you glorious Fatherland of the brave child!
We are all together ready to give our lives for you!
We are all together strong to sacrifice our blood for you!
Live blessed with your three-coloured flag!
Live blessed with your three-coloured flag!

Thousands of lives were sacrificed,
Your chest became an arena for battles!
Soldiers gave their life for you,
All of them became heroes!

You shall be a garden full of roses
The sacrifice of our souls anytime for you!
Never–ending love for you
Have got a place in my heart!

In order to maintain your honor,
In order to elevate your flag,
In order to maintain your honor,
The young are intended sententiously!
The glorious Homeland, The glorious Homeland,
Azerbaijan! Azerbaijan!
Azerbaijan! Azerbaijan!

Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan!
The glorious Fatherland of our valorous fathers!
We stand at the ready to die for thee!
We stand at the ready to shed our blood!
All so that we may live blissfully under thy tri-color banner!
All so that we may live blissfully under thy tri-color banner!

Thousands of martyrs had died for thy cause,
Thy sweeping plains had become fields of battle!
And our warriors had bravely defended thee!
Each one a hero in the storied annals of our land!

Thou hast now become our rosegarden,
Our hearts we are ever-ready to sacrifice!
Thy never–ending love for us
Hast earned thou a place in our hearts!

To uphold thy honor,
To keep thy flag waving,
To uphold thy honor,
The young stand at the ready!
The glorious Fatherland! The glorious Fatherland!
Azerbaijan! Azerbaijan!
Azerbaijan! Azerbaijan!

Once a performance has been recorded, it may be used for any purpose, such as in a radio or television broadcast.
