United forever in friendship and labor

our mighty Republics will ever endure

the Great Soviet Union

will live through the ages

the dream of a people

their fortress secure.



[Chorus]

Long live pur Soviet Motherland

built by the people's mighty hand.

Long live her people united and free

strong in a friendship tried by fire

long may her crimson flag inspire

shining in glory for all men to see.



Through days dark and stormy

when great Lenin led us

our eyes saw the bright sun of Freedom above

and Stalin our leader

with faith in the people

inspired us to build the land that we love.



[chorus]



We fought for the future

destroyed the invader

and brought to our homeland

the laurels of fame.

A glory will live in the memory of nations

and all generations will honor her name.



[chorus]
