Lyrics:
Šai zemē visdārgā mēs brīvību guvām,
Te paaudžu paaudzēm laimīgam dzimt,
Te šalc mūsu jūra, te zied mūsu druvas,
Te skan mūsu pilsētas, Rīga te dimd.
Padomju Latvija mūžos lai dzīvo,
Spoža lai Padomju vainagā mirdz!
Mēs cēlāmies, verdzības važas lai rautu,
Par gadsimtu cīņām ik vieta vēl teic.
Vien biedros ar diženās Krievzemes tautu
Mēs kļuvām par spēku, kas pretvaru veic.
Padomju Latvija mūžos lai dzīvo,
Spoža lai Padomju vainagā mirdz!
Pa Ļeņina ceļu uz laimi un slavu
Ar Oktobra karogu iesim mūždien.
Mēs sargāsim Padomju Tēvzemi savu
Līdz pēdējai asiņu lāsei ikviens.
Padomju Latvija mūžos lai dzīvo,
Spoža lai Padomju vainagā mirdz!
Padomju Latvija mūžos lai dzīvo,
Spoža lai Padomju vainagā mirdz!
Translation:
In this land most dear we gained our freedom,
Generation upon generation blessed to be born here,
Here our seas sigh, here our fields blossom,
Here our cities ring out, here Riga resounds.
Let Soviet Latvia live for ever,
Let it shine bright in the Soviet crown.
We rose to break chains of slavery,
About centuries' long struggles it is told in every place.
Only in fraternity with the august Russian nation
We become a power to wage revolution.
Let Soviet Latvia live for ever,
Let it shine bright in the Soviet crown.
On Lenin's road to blessings and glory,
With the flag of October we will go on forever.
We will guard our Soviet Fatherland,
Everyone to the last drop of our blood.
Let Soviet Latvia live for ever,
Let it shine bright in the Soviet crown.
Let Soviet Latvia live for ever,
Let it shine bright in the Soviet crown.
