Workers of the world, unite!

When I was Form 2, for a few months I was interested in the national anthems of different country and spent some time to look them up.

The anthem of the former USSR (Soviet Union) is now my favourite.

Don't you think Russian sound so sexy in these men's voice?

Transliteration:

Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh
Splotila naveki velikaya Rus'!
Da zdravstvuyet sozdanny volley narodov
Yediny, moguchy Sovetsky Soyuz!

Chorus:

Slav'sya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye,

Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot!

Partiya Lenina — sila narodnaya

Nas k torzhestvu kommunizma vedyot!

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!

(Chorus)

V pobede bessmertnykh idey kommunizma
My vidim gryadushcheye nashey strany,
I krasnomu znameni slavnoy otchizny
My budem vsegda bezzavetno verny!

(Chorus)

English Translation:

An unbreakable union of free republics,
Great Rus' has welded forever to stand!
Created in struggle by the will-of-the-people,
The united, the mighty Soviet Union.

Chorus:

Sing to the Soviet motherland, home of the free!

Bulwark of people, in brotherhood strong!

Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,

It leads us to the triumph of Communism.

Through tempests the sun of freedom shone to us,
And the great Lenin lighted us the way.
He raised peoples to the righteous cause,
Inspired us to labour and to acts of heroism.

(Chorus)

In the victory of the immortal ideas of Communism
We see the future of our country,
And to the Red banner of our glorious Fatherland
We shall always be selflessly true.

(Chorus)
