To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples, Inspired them to labour and valourous deed. Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us, Along the new path where great Lenin did lead. O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people, To Communism's triumph lead us on!Ģ. Sing to the Motherland, home of the free, Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong. Created in struggle by will of the people, United and mighty, our Soviet land! CHORUS: Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics, Great Russia has welded forever to stand. The official version of lyrics endorsed by CPSU:ġ. V pobede bessmertnykh idey kommunizma My vidim gryadushcheye nashey strany, I krasnomu znameni slavnoy otchizny My budem vsegda bezzavetno verny! CHORUSġ. Skvoz' grozy siyalo nam solntse svobody, I Lenin veliky nam put' ozaril, Na pravoye delo on podnyal narody, Na trud i na podvigi nas vdokhnovil! CHORUSģ.

Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh Splotila naveki velikaya Rus'! Da zdravstvuyet sozdanny voley narodov Yediny, moguchy Sovetsky Soyuz! CHORUS: Slavsya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye, Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot, Partiya Lenina - sila narodnaya Nas k torzhestvu kommunizma vedyot!Ģ.
