It is a word that springs blood from thousands of
veins in my body, fills my heart like a small fist in my chest,
lifts my head to the sky, comes with the milk of my mother's
sixty-two roots, speaks the language of my sword-sharp Kazakh,
speaks proudly to the four corners of the
universe.
I will be the hero of an independent nation
called Kazakh, which defended its homeland until the last drop of
blood, gave birth to a daughter in the steppe, honored her son as a
heir, raised his descendants from seven ancestors, raised the
banner of peace and kept the freedom of the blue
wolf.
I am a descendant of a state that has become a
rich heritage of the past, built a path of learning for the younger
generation, engraved its history in stone, left its genealogy in a
book, its songs became legends and the heroism of its heroes became
legendary.
He drank with the heroism of Kultegin, who fought
for freedom, gathered Kazakhs under the banner of Abylai, repeated
the heroism of Kabanbay, Bogenbay, Karasai, Raimbek, was born from
the courage of Kenesary, continued the dream of the lions of Alash
from the songs of Ahmet, Bokeikhan, Magzhan,
Shakarim.
I am a continuation of the perseverance of the
Kazakhs, who experienced many massacres, Kazakhs were «scattered»
all over the world, but returned to their homeland, my lions were
sacrificed, my spiritual treasures were secretly read, they endured
many hardships and did not break. I am the eagle of the country,
which follows the law of the «Seven Charters» written by Tauke
Khan, saw the wisdom of my great dancers, mourned the death of my
people, felt the victory of my heroes, will continue the heroism of
Aliya, Manshuk, Baurzhan. I am a Kazakh girl who remembers my
little boat on the only road built by Abai, who dreams of
Mukagali's feelings, who is nourished by Fariza's
courage.
The future of the Kazakh people is the result of
the lofty dreams of Kairat, Sabira, Lyazzat, who marched for
freedom in December and sacrificed their lives for our
independence. I am a child of a free country, which has preserved
its traditions, sang lullabies to its children, opened the bride's
face at the wedding, greeted Nauryz, revived the holiday of Nauryz,
honored the spirits of the dead, protected the living from evil and
preached good. I am the owner of a vast land, which is bordered by
the Syr Darya in the south, the Irtysh in the north, the Urals in
the west, and the Altai in the east. The «I am Kazakh!» I am a
fairy-tale hope of an independent country, proud of my
contemporaries!
I am the guardian of a country that shines at the
age of twenty-five, shows the glory of its country to the world,
sails the ship of independence, sails the world, has high hopes for
its descendants, gives wise advice to the bereaved, cares for the
victors and spares those who want to disturb the peace.I am the
continuation of an independent country, which first taught me to
take unbelievable steps, brought together more than a hundred
nationalities under one roof, has great respect for the past, great
confidence in the future, and sets an example for
others!
I am proud to be the guardian of such an
independent country!
