Homay

My roots cry out within me
My soul and blood do too
A voice from deep remembrance
Asks, who is Homay true?

The Sun, her glowing mother
The Soul Spring gave her breath
Samrau, her father mighty
Taught her the way of light

(Chorus)
Homay, guardian of Akbuzat
Keeper of the Soul Spring’s gate
Her stars shine in Bashkir skies
Wisdom’s flame in every stride

(Bridge)
Ancient echoes in our veins
Through the stars, her voice remains
Daughters of the Sun arise
Homay’s spirit never dies
