Our pupils want to recite to you the poem “Astana” by Boris Saushkin.

Средь ковыльных степей,

Средь пшеничных полей,

Где ишимская плещет волна,

Встал ты, город мечты,

Город нашей судьбы,

Город нашей любви, Астана.

          Дни за днями идут,

          На дерзанье и труд

          Поднимается наша страна.

          И всегда с нами ты,

          Город нашей мечты,

          Город юных сердец, Астана.

Мы пройдем этот путь,

Нас с пути не свернуть –

Наша цель и светла и ясна.

Наши дети растут,

Нам на смену придут,

Чтоб жила ты в веках, Астана.

          Будем братство крепить,

          Будем внуков растить!

          Расцветай и сияй, как весна,

          Город нашей мечты,

          Город нашей судьбы,
         Сердце нашей страны, Астана!
