I
A tall poplar grows along the coast of Jayhun
Whose roots are a thousand years old.
You are such a shady, sunny edge;
Your desire is happiness and peace.
Chorus:
The breath of the grandfather of the farmers is in your land;
The smell of a wormwoodsaiga runs through your deserts.
"Karakalpakstan, Karakalpakstan" is your name,
The descendants are pronounced in the depths of their hearts.
II
In a bright future, this era is calling;
Courage and wisdom are presented.
Your people are courageous, friendly and kind;
Free blossom and develop, be like that forever.
