Anakhra Nakh Irmeir

"Anakhra Nakh Irmeir" ("Song of Our Homeland") is the national anthem of Koxor. Originally composed by Koxoriek musician Ilara Otur in 1920 following the Koxoriek Revolution, it was adapted multiple times before becoming the official national anthem in 1923. The lyrics are derived from both new words written by Otur himself, as well as from multiple Koxoriek folk songs, including Anakhra o Tarjanyr ("Song of the Soldier") and O Akherotsi Hamezur ("Hamezu's March"). The music is from a piece composed in 1877 as a tribute to the newly-ascended King Zemeti II.
