In the Soviet Union you have found happiness.
Equal between the equal ones (other republics), free between the free ones,
Under the sunrays of freedom you have bloomed as a flower.

In the united homeland of fraternal nations.

Under October’s banner to brilliant heights.

Affirm the truth of immortal ideas.
To the shining communism – the great future -
Lenin’s party wisely leads us.
