The State Anthem of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic^[a] was the official regional anthem of Kazakhstan when it was a constituent republic of the Soviet Union.^[1]^[2]

Background

The music was composed by Mukan Tölebaev, Russian composer Yevgeny Brusilovsky and Tatar composer Latıf Hamıdı, with lyrics written by Kazakh authors Äbdilda Täjibaev, Qaiym Muhamedhanov and Ğabıt Müsirepov. The Soviet-era lyrics were removed after the Kazakh SSR was renamed the Republic of Kazakhstan on 10 December 1991, In 1992, new lyrics were adopted with the same melody as the anthem of independent Kazakhstan, until 7 January 2006.^[2]

From 1991 to 1997, it was one of the five remaining republics that appreciated its old anthem, then from 1997 to 2000, it became one of four (when Turkmenistan changed its anthem). From 2000 to 2006, it is one of the five remaining again (when Russia changed its anthem). It is the only SSR anthem played in ³
₄, with all others using ⁴
₄.

Біз қазақ ежелден еркіндік аңсаған, Бостандық өмір мен ар үшін қиған жан. Торлаған тұманнан жол таппай тұрғанда, Жарқырап Лениндей күн жығып, атты таң. Қайырмасы: Жасасын Советтер^[c] Одағы, Жеткізген еркіндік, теңдікке, Бастайтын елдерді бірлікке, Жеңіске, шаттыққа, ерлікке! Дақ салмай Лениннің жеңімпаз салтына, Ұрпағы қосты даңқ Оттаның даңқына, Одақтас, ұрандас елдердің қамқоры, Көп алғыс айтамыз ұлы орыс халқына. Қайырмасы Іргелі мемлекет, ерікті болдық ел, Достықпен, бірлікпен жайнайды туған жер. Еңбекте, майданда, жеткізген жеңіске Данышпан Партия^[d] – сүйікті кемеңгер.

To the protector of the Union's republics, We all thank the mighty Russian folks. Chorus We have become a country strong and free, Where friendship and unity have been established. Lead us to triumph in war and toil, O wise Party/Stalin, you are truly loved. Chorus
