ROMANIAN LYRICS (Romanian script)

---

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

We glorify thee, Romania, soil of our parents,
Fine orchards are bearing fruit under the peaceful sky,
The accursed yoke of the past is smashed,
Not in vain have fought our ancestral heroes,
Nowadays we are carrying out their wonderful dream.

CHORUS:
Strong, free,
Mistress of thy fate,
Long live the Romanian
People's Republic!

May our nation be always fraternal
With the Soviet people, our liberators.
Leninism is our guiding light, our strength and our enthusiasm,
We follow with faith the unvanquished party,
We are creating socialism on our Country's soil.

CHORUS

We are building new factories, we are increasing the yield of the harvest,
We want to live in peace with any nation,
But should the foes cross our threshold,
We shall break them in the name of all that is dear to us
And shall raise towards glory the flag of our Fatherland.

CHORUS
