Here’s an introduction and lyrics to the national anthem of Turkey, which you will hear at state occasions and sporting matches. It’s known as ‘\u0130stikl\u00e2l Mar\u015f\u0131’, which translates as ‘Independence March’. Interesting fact: it serves as the anthem of both the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.<\/p>

Turkey national anthem: English lyrics<\/h2>
Fear not! The scarlet flag rippling at dawns shall not wither<\/strong>While my country\u2019s last smoking hearth is yet aflicker.<\/strong>She is the star of my nation: she is meant to blaze and shine;<\/strong>She belongs to none but my nation alone, she is mine.<\/strong><\/p>
II<\/strong>Do not frown, I beseech you, oh coy crescent!<\/strong>But smile at my valiant race\u2026 Why this angry, why violent?<\/strong>Lest our blood spilt for you be unblessed and worthless.<\/strong>For my nation, who worships God, has the right to independence!<\/strong><\/p>
