Great Rus’ has welded together
An unbreakable union of free Republics.
Long live the unified, mighty Soviet Union,
Created by the will of the people.

Be glorified, our free Fatherland,
The reliable fortress of friendship among peoples!
Let the Soviet standard, the people’s standard
Lead from victory to victory!

Through storms the sun of freedom shone on us,
And great Lenin illuminated our path.
Stalin brought us up to be loyal to the nation;
He inspired us to work and heroic feats.

Be glorified, our free Fatherland,
The reliable fortress of the happiness of peoples!
Let the Soviet standard, the people’s standard
Lead from victory to victory!

We raised our army in battles,
And will sweep base invaders from our path.
In battle we decide the fate of generations,
We guide our own fate to the glory of the Fatherland!

Be glorified, our free Fatherland,
The reliable fortress of the glory of peoples!
Let the Soviet standard, the people’s standard
Lead from victory to victory!
