I Te slăvim, Românie, pământ părintesc Mândre plaiuri sub cerul tău paşnic rodesc E zdrobit al trecutului jug blestemat Nu zadarnic, străbunii eroi au luptat Astăzi noi împlinim visul lor minunat. Cor: Puternică, liberă, Pe soartă stăpână Trăiască Republica Populară Română! II Înfrăţit fi-va veşnic al nostru popor Cu poporul sovietic eliberator. Leninismul ni-e far şi tărie si avânt Noi urmăm cu credinţă Partidul ne-nfrânt, Făurim socialismul pe-al ţării pământ. Cor III Noi uzine clădim, rodul holdei sporim Vrem în pace cu orice popor să trăim Dar duşmanii de-ar fi să ne calce în prag Îi vom frânge în numele a tot ce ni-e drag Înălţa-vom spre glorie al patriei steag Cor

I We glorify you, Romania, our Fatherland Proud lands under your peaceful sky are yielding The cursed yoke of the past is smashed It was not in vain that our heroic ancestors fought; Today we're fulfilling their wonderful dream Chorus: Powerful, free, Master of your fate Long live the Romanian People's Republic! II May our people be forever brothers With the liberator Soviet people Leninism is our lighthouse and force and momentum We're following with faith our invincible Party We're creating socialism on our country's land. Chorus III We're building new factories, we're increasing the yield of the land We want to live in peace with all peoples But if our enemies come to trample us We will defeat them in the name of everything we love And we will rise to glorify our Fatherland's flag Chorus
