Key Facts
- 1. The word 'Tavisupleba' (Freedom) is repeated so many times that the anthem is sometimes informally called just 'Freedom' rather than by its official title
- 2. Zakaria Paliashvili, whose opera melodies form the anthem, appears on the Georgian 1-lari banknote, connecting the anthem's composer to everyday currency
- 3. At roughly 50 seconds in standard performance, Georgia's anthem is among the shortest in the world
Georgia National Anthem Lyrics
ჩემი ხატია სამშობლო,
სახატე მთელი ქვეყანა,
განათებული მთა-ბარი,
წილნაყარია ღმერთთანა.
თავისუფლება დღეს ჩვენი
მომავალს უმღერს დიდებას,
ცისკრის ვარსკვლავი ამოდის
და ორ ზღვას შუა ბრწყინდება,
დიდება თავისუფლებას,
თავისუფლებას დიდება.
