[edit] Georgian lyrics

დიდება ზეცით კურთხეულს,

დიდება ქვეყნად სამოთხეს,

ტურფა ივერსა,

დიდება ძმობას, ერთობას,

დიდება თავისუფლებას,

დიდება სამარადისო

ქართველ მხნე ერსა!

დიდება ჩვენსა სამშობლოს,

დიდება ჩვენი სიცოცხლის

მიზანს დიადსა;

ვაშა ტრფობასა, სიყვარულს,

ვაშა შვებასა, სიხარულს,

სალამი ჭეშმარიტების

შუქ-განთიადსა!

Dideba kvehnad samotkhes,

Turpha iversa.

Mizans diadsa;

Vasha shvebasa, siharuls,

Salami chesh maritebis,

Shuk gantiadsa!

Praise be to the heavenly Bestower of Blessings,

Praise be to paradise on earth,

To the radiant Georgians,

Praise be to brotherhood and to unity,

Praise be to liberty,

Praise be to the everlasting,

Praise be to our fatherland,

Praise be to the great and bright aim of our lives;

Hail, O joy and love,

Hail helpfulness and happiness,

Greetings to the truth, that light of dawn!
