Lyrics (English)

Sky of golden sun,
Steppe of golden seed,
Legend of courage
-Take a look at my country!

From the antiquity
Our heroic glory emerged,
They did not give up
their prideMy Kazakh people are strong!

Chorus:
My country,my country,
As your flower I will be planted,
As your song I will stream,my country!
My native land – My Kazakhstan!
The way was opened to the posterity
I have a vast land.
Its unity is proper,
I have an independent country.

It welcomed the time
Like an eternal friend,
Our country is happy,
Such is our country.

Chorus (twice)

Lyrics（Kazakh）

Алтын күн аспаны,
Алтын дән даласы,
Ерліктің дастаны -
Еліме қарашы!

Ежелден ер деген,
Даңқымыз шықты ғой,
Намысын бермеген,
Қазағым мықты ғой!

Қайырмасы:
Менің елім, менің елім,
Гүлің болып егілемін,
Жырың болып төгілемін, елім!
Туған жерім менің — Қазақстаным!
Ұрпаққа жол ашқан,
Кең байтақ жерім бар.
Бірлігі жарасқан,
Тәуелсіз елім бар.

Қарсы алған уақытты,
Мәңгілік досындай.
Біздің ел бақытты,
Біздің ел осындай!

Қайырмасы (2 pem)

◆Kazakh Traditional Music

If you are Dimash fans (Dears), you must know about Kazakh Music.

Music is closely bound up with poems, literature, history, ethnicity.

The most basic style of Kazakh traditional music in a nomadic life is dombra solos or singing accompanied by the dombra, and it was a part of oral culture.

A lot of music was composed by national musicians: Kurmangazy Sagyrbaev and Shigayev Dauletkerei in the 19th century and Nurgisa Tlendiev in the 20th century, and the masterpieces of Kazakh songs by singers: Birzhan-sal Kozhagululy, Akan-seri Koramsauly, and Muhit have been passed down to posterity. The poet Abai Kunanbayev also composed about twenty songs. On the other hand, there is much traditional music and many traditional songs composed by unknown musicians.

※Dombra

The Kazakh instrument Dimash plays is the dombra.

It is two-stringed instrument with a wooden body and neck, and the strings are struck to make sounds.

Kazakh dombra is played by plucking strings up and down in brushing off motion with a loose wrist.

※Kobyz

Another Kazakh traditional string instrument is the Kobyz, which is played with the bow.

It is made of carved wood for the body, camel skin for the resonator, and horse hair for the strings and the bow. It has a unique resonating sound, which draws listeners into a trance. This was also used in metal-string orchestras during reform policy of the Soviet Union era. Traditional type is called Kyl-kobyz.
