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!

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.

Свободен навеки народ наш счастливый,

Путь светлый для всех поколений открыт.

Шумит наше море, цветут наши нивы,

В семье городов наша Рига гремит.

Славься, Советская Латвия наша,

Ярко в созвездии республик сияй!

Не раз мы за волю ходили походом,

Бесправия цепи пытались разбить,

Лишь в дружбе незыблемой с русским народом

Смогли мы неправду и зло победить.
