Wikisource has the official lyrics for this national anthem:
Біз қазақ ежелден еркіндік аңсаған, Бостандық өмір мен ар үшін қиған жан. Торлаған тұманнан[lower-alpha 3] жол таппай тұрғанда[lower-alpha 4], Жарқырап Лениндей күн жығып, атты таң.
Дақ салмай Лениннің жеңімпаз салтына, Ұрпағы[lower-alpha 6] қосты даңқ Оттаның даңқына, Одақтас, ұрандас[lower-alpha 7] елдердің қамқоры, Көп алғыс айтамыз ұлы[lower-alpha 8] орыс халқына.
Қайырмасы
Іргелі мемлекет, ерікті болдық ел, Достықпен, бірлікпен жайнайды туған жер. Еңбекте, майданда, жеткізген жеңіске Данышпан Партия[lower-alpha 9] – сүйікті кемеңгер.
We age-old Kazakhs seeking freedom, Sacrificing our lives for honour and glory. Traversing the desolate fog of darkness, Yet forth Lenin came and morning rose upon us.
Chorus: Long live the Soviet Union, To freedom and coordination. For the unity of our country, To victory, joy and bravery!
Lenin's victorious path shall never fade, Our future's glory shall spread in our land. To the protector of the Union's republics, We thank the great Russian people.
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 (Stalin) Party, you are truly loved.
