Dear Ossetia! For the glory of thy name, Erect we stand like a flambeau. Of our love, good ol' cradle of fame, Our joy and grief art thou! By thine earth we swear to thee, We honour vastly thy name, With our might we serve thee, Our fervor for thee came! Chorus: O great Khwytsaw, thy blessing and grace! Give the land of Ossetia happiness! Ossetian land! Thy past was darned, Thou wert chased by baneful sins. Yet through the truth of Farn, Buried now are thy hardships. Thou hast always marched Toward the light of life. Thy hope hath not been crushed During desolate times of strife. Chorus: O Wastyrdzhi, thy blessing and grace! Give Ossetian clan happiness! Pride of our forebears, home of the Ossete, Through one kindred, we're united. In this world of sorrow through defeat, Be not dispersed nor divided. Through aeons may thy name echo, Thy glory groweth with delight, Together we live with thy hope aglow, Thanks to thee our lives shine bright! Chorus: O cherished Farn! thy blessing and grace! Blessed be our dear Ossetia! Thine honour and glory!

Notes

1. South Ossetia 's status is disputed. It considers itself to be an independent state, but this is recognised by only a few other countries . The Georgian government and most of the world's other states consider South Ossetia de jure a part of Georgia's territory.
