Altai and Russian

English translation

Blue skies above full of stars,

So vast and free, Khan-Altai.

The three peaks of the calm taigas

This sacred, olden Altai.

Three lofty peaks Khan-Altai,

No traditions left behind.

Hawks sleep deep within the taigas,

No dogging taxes will drain us.

'Tis the birthplace of Altai,

One thousand lands of Altai.

Watching over her riches,

We'll too forever be Russians.

The sun hath forged thee, Altai,

So live and prosper on.

Critical limits

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
