National Anthem of the Republic of Tatarstan |
The National Anthem of Tatarstan (Tatar: Татарстан Җөмһүрияте Дәүләт гимны; Russian: Гимн Татарстана) was originally adopted in 1993 without lyrics. The music was composed by Rustem Yakhin. The anthem eventually had lyrics, written by Ramazan Baytimerov.

Being that both Russian and Tatar are official languages of Tatarstan, the anthem's lyrics are written in both languages, as done in a similar manner to the anthem of the Altai Republic. However, it is difficult to have corresponding Russian words to a Tatar text, due to the different structures of the two languages, so as a result the lyrics are not official.
Current lyrics
In February 2013, the official lyrics were adopted.[1] The first two verses are sung in Tatar followed by two verses sung in Russian.

Original lyrics
Originally, attempts to write lyrics in the Tatar language were proposed. Ramazan Baytimerov's version was titled Tuğan yağım ("My native country").
