Lyrics
The anthem is a poem of four stanzas without the use of refrains. It is written in the Armenian language, the official state language of the Artsakh Republic and the mother tongue of nearly all of its people.
In 2021, Russian became the next official language. This is likely in part due to the close historical ties the Armenian people had with the Russians.
