Hymn to the Ganchelkean States

United forever in friendship and labour,

Our mighty nations will ever endure.

The Ganchelkean States will live through the ages.

The dream of a people, their fortress secure.

CHORUS:

Long live our nation’s Motherland, built by the people’s mighty hand.

Long live our Region, united and free.

Strong in our friendship tried by fire. Long may our Region’s flag inspire,

Shining in glory for all men to see.

Through days dark and stormy where great nations lead us

Our eyes saw the bright sun of freedom above

And all of the nations with faith in the people,

Inspired us to build up the Region we love.

CHORUS

We fought for the future, destroyed the invader

And brought to our Region the laurels of fame.

Our glory will live in the memory of nations

And all generations will honour its name.
