Lyrics in English:
An unbreakable union of free republics,
Great Russia has been sealed forever.
Long live, the creation by the people's will,
The united, mighty Soviet Union!
Be glorified, our free Motherland,
Reliable stronghold of the people's friendship!
The Party of Lenin - the strength of the people,
Leads us to the triumph of Communism!
Through storms, the sun of freedom shined on us,
And Great Lenin illuminated our path!
To a righteous cause, he raised the people
To labor and achievements, we were inspired!
In the victory of Communism's immortal ideas,
We see the future of our country!
And to the red banner of the glorious Motherland,
We will always be devotedly true!
