Tawisupleba ( Georgian თავისუფლება ; German "Freedom") is the title of the national anthem of Georgia . It was passed by the Georgian Parliament on May 20, 2004 and premiered in September of the same year. The text is by Davit Maghradze, the melody by Sakaria Paliashvili . It is an arrangement of motifs from the operas Abessalom and Eteri (1919) and Daisi (1923). The arrangement was made by Joseb Ketschaqmadze.

Tawisupleba replaces the former national anthem Dideba (sezit kurtcheuls) . It was already in use by the First Republic of Georgia from 1918 to 1921. Because Georgia sees itself as the legal successor to this state, it was initially taken over in 1991.

Text (in Georgian script ):

ჩემი ხატია სამშობლო,
სახატე მთელი ქვეყანა,
განათებული მთა-ბარი,
წილნაყარია ღმერთთანა.
თავისუფლება დღეს ჩვენი
მომავალს უმღერს დიდებას,
ცისკრის ვარსკვლავი ამოდის
და ორ ზღვას შუა ბრწყინდება,
დიდება თავისუფლებას,
თავისუფლებას დიდება.

and illuminates between the two seas, freedom be praised
,
freedom be praised.
