Background

The music was composed by Mukan Tölebaev, Russian composer Yevgeny Brusilovsky and Tatar composer Latıf Hamıdı, with lyrics written by Kazakh authors Äbdilda Täjibaev, Qaiym Muhamedhanov and Ğabıt Müsirepov. In 1992, new lyrics were adopted with the same melody as the anthem of independent Kazakhstan, until 7 January 2006.^[2]

From 1991 to 1997, it was one of the five remaining republics that appreciated its old anthem, then from 1997 to 2000, it became one of four (when Turkmenistan changed its anthem). From 2000 to 2006, it is one of the five remaining again (when Russia changed its anthem). It is the only SSR anthem played in ³
₄; all the others use ⁴
₄. It was also the only regional anthem in which the term "communism" was not mentioned in the entire lyrics.

Біз қазақ ежелден еркіндік аңсаған, Бостандық өмір мен ар үшін қиған жан. Торлаған тұманнан жол таппай тұрғанда, Жарқырап Лениндей күн жығып, атты таң. Қайырмасы: Жасасын Советтер^[c] Одағы, Жеткізген еркіндік, теңдікке, Бастайтын елдерді бірлікке, Жеңіске, шаттыққа, ерлікке! Дақ салмай Лениннің жеңімпаз салтына, Ұрпағы қосты даңқ Оттаның даңқына, Одақтас, ұрандас елдердің қамқоры, Көп алғыс айтамыз ұлы орыс халқына. Қайырмасы Іргелі мемлекет, ерікті болдық ел, Достықпен, бірлікпен жайнайды туған жер. Еңбекте, майданда, жеткізген жеңіске Данышпан Партия^[d] – сүйікті кемеңгер. Қайырмасы^[1]^[2]	Bız qazaq ejelden erkındık añsağan, Bostandyq ömır men ar üşın qiğan jan. Torlağan tūmannan jol tappai tūrğanda, Jarqyrap Lenindei kün jyğyp, atty tañ.

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. Chorus
