State Anthem of Mordovia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The State Anthem of the Republic of Mordovia, also known as "Hail, Mordovia!" (Шумбрат, Мордовия! [ˈʂumbrət | mɐrˈdovʲɪjə]), is one of the state symbols of the Republic of Mordovia, a federal subject of Russia.[1]
It was composed by Nina Vasilyevna Koshelieva (ru), with lyrics by Sergey Vasilyevich Kinyakin (ru). The anthem has lyrics in all three of the republic's official languages: Moksha, Erzya and Russian. The refrains of the anthem are a mixture between Moksha and Erzya.[1]

I
Bright day, Mordovia! From the bottom of thy heart,
Bright day, Mordovia! In thine eyes shineth light.
Glittering across Russia the star of Moksha,
Surrounding Russia the dawn of Erzya.
Chorus:
Hail! Hail, Mordovia!
Ring! Ring, Mordovia!
Land beloved! Thy flowering spring,
Land beloved of Moksha-Erzya!
Hail! Hail, Mordovia!
Sing! Sing, Mordovia!
May joyous life come into thy hearth!
Peace be upon thee, Mordovia!
Strong may thou be as the sun blazeth!
II
Thou, Mordovia, cross’d a path grim and hard,
Thou, Mordovia, stoodest erect and proud,
Vast Moksha and swift Sura gave thee strength,
Thy heart and soul still like a pure spring.
Chorus
III
Thou, Mordovia, cross’d a path long and hard,
Thou wert with Russia always and proud,
The free Moksha and Sura gave thee strength,
Thy soul and heart remain strong.
Chorus
