"Dideba" (instrumental)
  • help
  • "Dideba" (Georgian: დიდება, "Glory") was the national anthemofGeorgia[1] from November 1990[2] to May 2004. It was previously the national anthem of Georgia from 1918 to 1921.[3]

    History[edit]

    Background[edit]

    "Dideba" was written and composed by Kote Potskhverashvili [ka] and was adopted by the "Menshevik"-led Georgian government as the country's national anthem in 1918 after it became free from Russian rule. However, "Dideba"'s usage in this manner was to be short-lived. It would only be used for a few years, until Georgia came under Soviet rule from 1922 onward.

    Readoption[edit]

    Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, "Dideba" was readopted as the Georgian national anthem, though at the time of its re-adoption it was barely known by most Georgians[2] as it had been almost seven decades since it was last used as the country's national anthem.

    Replacement[edit]

    "Dideba" was used as the Georgian national anthem from November 1990[2] until 20 May 2004, when it was replaced by the current Georgian national anthem "Tavisupleba" following the 2003 Rose Revolution.[4] Though the replacement of "Dideba" came after a change in government, efforts to replace the song reportedly predated said reforms.[4]

    Lyrics[edit]

    Georgian original Romanization IPA transcription[a] English translation

    დიდება ზეცით კურთხეულს,
    დიდება ქვეყნად სამოთხეს,
    ტურფა ივერსა,
    დიდება ძმობას, ერთობას,
    დიდება თავისუფლებას,
    დიდება სამარადისო
    ქართველ მხნე ერსა!
    დიდება ჩვენსა სამშობლოს,
    დიდება ჩვენი სიცოცხლის
    მიზანს დიადსა;
    ვაშა ტრფობასა, სიყვარულს,
    ვაშა შვებასა, სიხარულს,
    სალამი ჭეშმარიტების
    შუქ-განთიადსა!

    Dideba zecit k’urtxeuls
    Dideba kveq’nad samotxes,
    T’urpa Iversa.
    Dideba dzmobas, ertobas,
    Dideba tavisuplebas,
    Dideba samaradiso
    Kartvel mxne ersa!
    Dideba chvensa samshoblos,
    Dideba chveni sicocxlis
    Mizans diadsa;
    Vasha t’rpobasa, siq’varuls
    Vasha shvebasa, sixaruls,
    Salami ch’eshmarit’ebis,
    Shuk-gantiadsa!

    Greetings to the truth,
    The light of dawn!
