Moldavian/Romanian lyrics in Latin script

Moldova Sovietică, plaiul nostru’n floare

Alături de alte republici surori.

Păşeşte �mpreună cu Rusia mare

Spre al Uniunii senin viitor.

Doina �nfrăţirii proslăveşte Ţara,

Cu �nţelepciune condusă de Partid.

Cauza lui Lenin – cauză măreaţă –

O �nfăptuieşte poporul str�ns unit.

Slavă �n veacuri, renăscut păm�nt!

Munca să_ţ’ fie creator av�nt!

Şi comunismul – ţel nestrămutat –

�nalţă_l prin fapte pentru fericirea ta!

Moldavian/Romanian lyrics in official Cyrillic script

Мoлдoва Сoвиетикэ, плаюл нoстру’н флoаре

Алэтурь де алте републичь сурoрь.

Пэшеште ымпреунэ ку Русия маре

Спре ал Униуний сенин виитoр.

Дoйна ынфрэцирий прoслэвеште Цара,

Ку ынцелепчу не кoндусэ де Партид.

Кауза луй Ленин – каузэ мэряцэ –

O ынфэптуиеште пoпoрул стрынс унит.

Славэ ын вякурь, ренэскут пэмынт!

Мунка сэ-ць фие креатoр авынт!

Ши кoмунизмул – цел нестрэмутат –

Ыналцэ-л прин фапте пентру феричиря та!

English translation

Soviet Moldova, our flowering land,

Beside other sister republics

Is walking together with great Russia

Toward the serene future of the Union

The Doina of brotherhood is praising the Country

Which is ruled wisely by the Party

Lenin's cause - a great cause -

Is achieved by the unitary people

Glory in ages, reborn land!

May your work be a creator elan!

And that communism - an unshaken goal -

You raise it through deeds for your own happiness!
