One of its national symbols of Türkiye is the National anthem, Istiklâl Marsi (the March of Independence). Its lyrics consist of 10 stanzas of which only 2 are sung, and it was written by the poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy. The original music is the work of Ali Rıfat Cagatay and was later changed by an arrangement written by by Osman Zeki Ungor, conductor of the presidential symphony orchestra.

ISTIKLÂL MARSI

Korkma, sonmez bu êafaklarda yüzen al sancak
It's the last cooker I've smoked on my homeland.
Or benim milletimin. Yildizidir parlayacak.
He is mine, he is my nationality.
Çatma, kurban olayim cehreni ey nazli hilâl!
Kahraman irkima bir gül ne bu siddet, bu celâl
Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarimiz sonra helâl
Hakkidir hakka tapan milletimin istiklâl!

MARCH OF INDEPENDENCE (in Spanish)

No to fear and dismay
This crimson flag will never fade
It's the last heart that's burning for my nation
and we are sure it will never fail.
It is the star of my nation, shining forever,
It is the star of my nation and it is mine.
No frown, fair crescent, I'm ready to die for you.
Smile now my heroic nation, leave this anger,
so that blood is not shed without being blessed
freedom the slogan of my nation,
freedom for us who worship God
and we look for the right thing.
