The State Anthem of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic was the anthem of Latvia from 1945 to 1990 when it was occupied by the Soviet Union.

The anthem was approved by the Supreme Soviet of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic on 19 July 1945, subsequently banning the previous anthem "Dievs, svētī Latviju!". The original lyrics had references to Joseph Stalin until its replacement in 1977, when the references of him were removed. After Latvia regained independence in 1990, "Dievs, svētī Latviju!" was restored as its anthem on 15 February 1991.

Background

The decree on the Anthem of the Latvian SSR. The anthem was adopted on 19 July 1945.

The music was composed by Anatols Liepiņš, and the lyrics were written by Fricis Rokpelnis and Jūlijs Vanags.

Lyrics

Latvian original IPA transcription

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.

Piedziedājums:
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.

Piedziedājums

Pa Ļeņina ceļu uz laimi un slavu
Ar Oktobra karogu iesim mūždien.
Mēs sargāsim Padomju Tēvzemi savu
Līdz pēdējai asiņu lāsei ikviens.

Russian translation English translation

Свободен навеки народ наш счастливый,
Путь светлый для всех поколений открыт.
Шумит наше море, цветут наши нивы,
В семье городов наша Рига гремит.

Припев:
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.

Припев

Под знаменем Ленина к счастью и славе
Путем Октября мы победно идем.
Верны мы великой Советской державе
И кровь за нее, если надо, прольем!

𝄆 Припев 𝄇

In this land most dear we gained our freedom,
Generation upon generation blessed to be born here,
Here our sea sighs, here our fields blossom,
Here our cities ring out, here Riga resounds.

Chorus:
Let Soviet Latvia live forever,
Let it shine bright in the Soviet crown!

We rose to break chains of slavery,
About centuries' long struggles it is told in every place.
Only in fraternity with the great Russian nation
We became a power to wage revolution.

Chorus

On Lenin's road to blessings and glory,
With the flag of October we will go on forever.
We will guard our Soviet Fatherland,
Everyone to the last drop of our blood.

  2. The second verse before 1977 was:
    «Не раз на врага ополчались походом,
    Не раз мы пытались оковы разбить.
    Лишь с Русью Великой и Русским народом,
    Могли мы навеки врага победить.»
  3. The third verse before 1977 was:
    «Дорогою Ленина к счастью и славе,
    Со Сталиным в сердце к победам идём!
    Верны мы могучей Советской державе,
    За честь её кровь нашу в битвах прольём!»
